Overview
- Conservative commentator Dustin Grage posted clips to X on July 1 that show Teha Delaruelle on camera with a dry-erase board reading “kill your local Republican” and statements invoking a “trans jihad.”
- Delaruelle’s Substack and other posts use militant rhetoric calling for retaliation against MAGA and describe a need to wage an existential struggle.
- Katrina deVille said the person briefly volunteered on her campaign, was removed when the team found them “deeply troubled,” and she publicly denounced the calls for violence.
- Some reports have claimed longer-standing ties between Delaruelle and local Democratic groups, but those staffing and county-level involvement claims remain unverified in the coverage.
- Right-leaning commentators and outlets drove rapid amplification of the footage, and the articles do not report any comment from Delaruelle or any law-enforcement action as of the latest coverage.
