On the March 19, 2024 edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, host Charlie Kirk defended Isabella DeLuca, a conservative influencer charged for her involvement in the January 6th insurrection. The Associated Press reports that DeLuca “has been charged with storming the U.S. Capitol and passing a stolen table out of a broken window, allowing other rioters to use it as a weapon against police,” adding “Isabella Maria DeLuca was arrested last Friday in Irvine, California, on misdemeanor charges, including theft of government property, disorderly conduct and entering a restricted area.”

CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): They need to show the population that you could be next. And put 34 back on screen here. Isabella DeLuca is one of those people. Isabella DeLuca is not your typical January 6th-looking person who's the 55-year-old welder from Ohio with facial hair. Isabella DeLuca is a young lady, a patriot. She loves her country. Involved with Turning Point USA.
And, you know, people were telling me, oh, Charlie, you know, don't mention Isabella. Be careful with this story, you know, she's indicted by the federal government. Oh, forget you. 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. And you can make the argument, OK, she shouldn't have been there. She shouldn't have been that close to the front lines. That's not -- I'm not even gonna touch that. OK? But you're supposed to tell me she's supposed to now face federal prison? Who's gonna pay for her legal fees, by the way? What is she, 23, 24 years old? We're gonna throw the entire federal book at her? You can't talk about that because she's an insurrectionist now, yeah, get out of the way. We're not playing by those games anymore.
