‘Trans’ Democrat Calls for Death Squads to Target MAGA in Deranged Speech

A Wisconsin congressional campaign has cut ties with a transgender volunteer after videos surfaced showing the individual calling for violence against Republicans and supporters of President Donald Trump.

Teha Delaruelle, a transgender activist who volunteered for Democratic Socialist of America-backed congressional candidate Katrina DeVille, was removed from the campaign after multiple videos circulated online this week.

One video, first highlighted by Townhall columnist Dustin Grage, showed Delaruelle sitting in front of a whiteboard bearing the message, “Kill your local Republicans.”

“We’re going to make this the moderate position in the state of Wisconsin,” Delaruelle said while gesturing toward the slogan.

In another video, Delaruelle declared that “we are doing trans jihad” against supporters of the Make America Great Again movement.

Delaruelle went on to say conservatives should become fearful of being in public.

“We’re gonna do the reverse. We’re going to make it so that they will be the ones that have to walk down the streets in fear, anxiety, and worry,” Delaruelle said, adding that such conditions would become “their new reality.”

Following the video’s circulation, DeVille’s campaign announced that Delaruelle had been removed from all campaign activities, per The Western Journal.

“They were actively creating a dangerous situation around my campaign,” DeVille told the New York Post.

DeVille also condemned the rhetoric in a statement provided to the newspaper.

“I want to be clear that I do not accept or condone violence or threats toward anyone and do not encourage violence, hate, or threats of any kind,” DeVille said.

According to the report, Delaruelle no longer has any affiliation with the campaign.

After criticism mounted online, Delaruelle released another video addressing the controversy, saying the backlash stemmed from comments that others allegedly only express privately.

“That’s enough to condemn me, I guess,” Delaruelle said.

The incident comes amid heightened political tensions following several recent acts of politically motivated violence and threats that have drawn condemnation from leaders across the political spectrum.

The controversy also arrives as Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates have gained momentum in several recent Democratic primaries, including victories in New York City and other races around the country.

DeVille is seeking the Democratic nomination in Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District, where the eventual nominee is expected to challenge Republican Rep. Tony Wied in the general election.
