CNN reports that Daniella Stella, who already sports a camel’s back-breaking load of baggage, has been permanently banned from Twitter:
Danielle Stella says she was banned for a tweet in which she spread a baseless claim about Omar and said if the claim is true, Omar should be tried for treason and hanged, according to a post to her Facebook account. Two Twitter accounts of Stella's have been suspended, her campaign confirmed to CNN.
Stella, as is predictable for a GOP candidate, has responded by whining about how unfair Twitter is.
You may remember reports from earlier this year that Stella had been charged with theft and a warrant issued for her arrest.
On June 19, Stella filed a statement of candidacy (pdf) with the Federal Election Commission despite her own legal woes. Stella was twice charged with theft this year, once in January for allegedly stealing 279 items worth more than $2,300 from a Target store. After she failed to appear in court on that charge on April 4, a warrant was issued for her arrest. That warrant was executed on April 28, when Stella was caught purportedly shoplifting $40 worth of items from a grocery store, including tick spray for cats.
Stella also has a previous DUI conviction from 2009 that included a charge of fleeing from police, which she pleaded down to a gross misdemeanor.
Of course, all of this just makes her more qualified to represent today’s GOP, but at least she won’t be able to continue to spread conspiracy theory bile via Twitter like our Conspiracist-in-Chief does.
