A Capitol riot suspect who went viral for wearing a dashing pink beret was supposedly identified by her ex, who said he ditched her because she read Adolf Hitler’s treatise “Mein Kampf.”
Jennifer Inzuza Vargas is being examined as the distinct-looking lady shown in FBI appeals that have been watched more than 7.5 times on Twitter, according to law enforcement sources who spoke to NBC News.
An ex-boyfriend identified the fashionable California suspect, telling the newspaper that he was sent the now-viral plea by a friend who thought her attractive photographs humorous.
“I stopped dead in my tracks,” said the ex, a clothing designer who asked not to be identified.
“I’m like, ‘That’s Jenny,’” he recalled.
The appeal photos, which show her gazing directly into the camera and another posing dramatically with a stick, quickly inspired conspiracy theories and jokes about the lady, who is No. 537 on the FBI’s wanted list as of Jan. 6, 2021.
She was observed in a number of places that day, including taking a large black suitcase away from rioters who were destroying media equipment.
Some speculated that she was a mole, while others compared her to a figure from a Wes Anderson film or “Emily in Paris,” even calling her “Emily in-carceration.”
Others dubbed her “fascist Matilda” and “Insurrection Eva Braun,” after Hitler’s wife.
Vargas’ ex also tweeted about his connection to her after putting in a tip to the FBI.
“I use to date this girl in 2019 LOL,” he wrote alongside an old pic of Vargas — before deleting it after things went “crazy” and he feared threats.
He told NBC that he first hit it off “really well” with Vargas in late 2018, with her flying in from Sacramento to visit him in Los Angeles a year later, when they were both in their early 20s.
“We weren’t, like, trying to get married or anything,” he said. “We were hooking up for a few months.”
He dumped her, he said, after she posted about reading Hitler’s 1925 manifesto.
“I was just instantly turned off, like, ‘Yo, I don’t think this is going to work out,’” he said.
“’You’re, like, reading ‘Mein Kampf,’ you think immigrants don’t deserve X, Y, Z,’” he recalled thinking of Vargas. NBC also confirmed that Vargas made unspecified references to Hitler on social media.
“She’s super into politics, and I didn’t know anything besides the fact that Trump lost,” the designer said.
They remained in touch, and the designer claims that he even asked Vargas if she was on a “no fly” list for having been at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
“Nope, cause I didn’t go into the [Capitol],” she wrote in messages shared with NBC News, which noted extensive video evidence showing her inside the building.
“I was there to support the president. Not to partake in that riot. I support the police,” Vargas reportedly stated.
Vargas did not respond to NBC News’ requests for comment, and The Post was unable to reach her early Monday.
Her ex says his “heart hurts” for her.
“She’s clearly, like, a lost person,” he said.
As for him, “It’s just going to be one of those things for me,” he said. “I dated this girl that was on the FBI’s most wanted list.”
