The publication also mentioned that it was Flicker’s social media post from the day of the riot that partially helped catch her stepson.
The 56-year-old TV personality, who is an ardent supporter of Donald Trump, reportedly took to Facebook when the January 6 attack happened and shared photos and videos from the incident.

At the time, she also wrote in a post, which has since been taken down, “I love patriots so much. Stay safe Tyler. We love you,” before adding the hashtag, “Stop the Steal.”
Multiple pieces of evidence found against Tyler Campanella
An FBI report stated that the factors that led to the arrest of the 27-year-old were online pictures, witness testimony, and footage from NBC that showed him attacking the office of Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Campanella was also allegedly seen “walking into the room where Pelosi's laptop was stolen.”
Siggy Flicker claimed not to be at the Capitol riot site
This came after Flicker refuted reports alleging she was at the site of the violence.
She reportedly asserted, “I'm getting fake news alerts again! Supposedly they're saying that I was at the Capitol on January 6 for the rally. Not me. But the girl who, I don't know what picture's circulating around, she better be pretty.”

“I've been in Florida since December 3rd. Headed back to Jersey soon. Hey, but you know what I have to say? Just keep me relevant, that's all I have to say!” Flicker added at the time.
