This is Daniella Stella, shes a Republican running against Ilhan Omar in 2020.
It looks like @IlhanMN may have a tough time beating her based on this very coherent speech.

(34,376 posts)Exclusive: Danielle Stella, reported to support baseless QAnon conspiracy theory, held twice this year over alleged shoplifting
A pro-Trump Republican candidate for Congress who is aiming to unseat Ilhan Omar in Minnesota has been charged with a felony after allegedly stealing from stores.
Danielle Stella was arrested twice this year in Minneapolis suburbs over allegations that she shoplifted items worth more than $2,300 from a Target and goods valued at $40 from a grocery store. She said she denied the allegations.
Stella, a 31-year-old special education teacher, was reported this week to be a supporter of the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory about Donald Trump battling a global cabal of elite liberal paedophiles.
This week Stella also described Minneapolis as the crime capital of our country. She has in the past complained that local police were overworked and overburdened and said that, if elected, she would work to reduce crime.

(7,528 posts)She comes off as 14-15 and kind of sounds like she's wearing a retainer or some other dental thing that causes such an odd speech pattern.
Public speaking is a requisite skill for a politician, and if she has something that hinders that (hearing-impairment?) she really should have an assistant translating for her.

Trump-loving Republican challenging Ilhan Omar faces felony theft charges from shoplifting arrests
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/7/25/1874431/-Trump-loving-Republican-challenging-Rep-Omar-faces-felony-theft-charges-from-shoplifting-arrests
Republicans are really drawing the best people these days. For example, take Daniella Stella, the Trump-loving Minnesota woman who is trying to unseat Rep. Ilhan Omar in Minnesotas 5th Congressional District. She has fully embraced the ridiculously absurd Qanon conspiracy theories (read more about that below.)
But, it turns out the congressional hopeful also has a criminal history. The Guardian has the goods:
Stella is accused of stealing 279 items valued at $2,327.97 from a Target store in Edina, to the south-west of Minneapolis, on 8 January this year. She was arrested for the alleged theft after security staff called the police.
A criminal complaint filed to Hennepin county district court alleged Stella was seen leaving the store without paying for most of her haul, after scanning only a few other items that were valued at about $50.
$2,327.97 from a Target? Thats a lot of stolen stuff. Its hard to imagine executives or employees of Minneapolis-based Target Stores supporting her election campaign.
The Target theft wasnt her first time getting busted for shoplifting.
Officers in nearby Bloomington then arrested Stella on 28 April after she was allegedly seen by security staff at a Cub Foods grocery store stealing a bottle of tick spray for cats, and placing other items under her purse so that they could not be seen.
The shoplifting incident isnt the only time shes been arrested, either.
Court records say that in 2009, Stella pleaded guilty to driving while impaired from alcohol and fleeing a police officer. The latter charge was prosecuted as a felony but later classified as a gross misdemeanour as part of Stellas plea.

(82,849 posts)First, Daniella, lay off the helium before you step up to the podium next time. Second, I see you pulling 3, maybe 4% of the vote in the Republican primary. I'd advise a . . . different . . . career path going forward.

(11,686 posts)if any of the female Democrat candidates dressed that way?
ChubbyStar
(3,191 posts)Publicly they would go apoplectic, because that is what hypocrites do. She is a young woman with a nice figure, I can see the dress as a frock for a club or party, but wearing it at a political rally, as the speaker, comes off as a cheap stunt. She just looks silly.

(146,288 posts)Although, finding any Republican willing to run in that district and lose will be a challenge. Of course, speaking clear English would help a little, I guess. Frankly, though, I think this is a put-on.

(12,618 posts)Apparently, she has quite the shoplifting record as well.
