Kirk Defends “Hostage” Influencer/Ex-Staffer: This Is A Soviet-Style Indictment To Silence Young Conservatives

“They’re saying Isabella DeLuca provided weapons. That sounds bad. Did Isabella DeLuca go to the local firearm shop and buy a bunch of pistols, which you couldn’t even do in DC? Did she go buy a bunch of knives? No, they say that she supplied weapons because there was a table broken, and it was given to somebody that was then used as a weapon. That is typical Soviet-style indictment BS. And excuse me while I don’t — and — but, for the record, she didn’t use any weapons. OK?

“Isabella DeLuca is being treated as if she is Timothy McVeigh. She’s facing federal prison time, and I imagine they selected her for a reason. They want to chill the growing young conservative movement in this country. They wanna put her on display so that other young conservatives are afraid to voice their opinion, that you too could end up in federal prison.

“She was a chapter president at Turning Point USA. She was an intern for Paul Gosar. She was an ambassador for Turning Point USA. And I’m gonna keep on standing behind her. I read this charging document, I say, excuse me? This is what’s gonna land you in federal prison? They’re coming after everybody. These are modern day hostages that are being held by this regime.” – Charlie Kirk.
