Right-Wing Influencer Arrested Over Jan. 6 Appeared On White Nationalist Rumble Show

Right-wing influencer Isabella Maria DeLuca was recently arrested and charged in relation to the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. DeLuca, who faces five charges including theft of government property, has also appeared on the show of Holocaust-denying white nationalist Stew Peters, where she lamented America’s “declining white majority.”

DeLuca’s résumé includes internships with Rep. Paul Gosar and former Rep. Lee Zeldin, an ambassadorship with right-wing student group Turning Point USA, and a stint as Outreach Director for the hard-right group Republicans for National Renewal. (In a post on X, RNR called for DeLuca and other “J6 political prisoners” to be “freed immediately.”)

On X, DeLuca has called herself “proudly xenophobic,” declared that mass migration is “destroying” the U.S. and Europe, called Fulton County, GA District Attorney Fani Willis a “hoe,” and suggested that Jews killed Jesus Christ. She has also falsely claimed that there “has been a white genocide happening for years in South Africa” which is “gradually getting worse.”

And in a post from Oct. 5, 2023, DeLuca wrote, “I love being white.”

She has also made appearances on The Stew Peters Show, the eponymous Rumble show of Stew Peters — a Holocaust denier, white nationalist, and Nazi sympathizer who recently called Adolf Hitler a “hero.” On Aug. 14, 2023, Peters interviewed DeLuca about white people becoming a minority in America by 2045.

“So I mean, 2045 is what is predicted for a white minority in this country,” Peters said. “After my trip to Austin, Texas I think it’s coming a whole lot sooner. I was absolutely a minority in that city for the American Liberty Awards. But what say you about all of this?”

DeLuca responded by pointing to a study predicting that Generation Z will be the last majority-white generation in the U.S. — something which DeLuca posted about on X days before her interview with Peters. DeLuca blamed “liberalism, particularly feminism” and “anti-white rhetoric” for the “declining white majority” in the U.S.

Peters also complained that advertisements show too many non-white people — as well as people wearing face masks to stop the spread of airborne diseases.

“When I was on a Delta flight on my way down to Austin, and you have to watch the video monitor for your safety instructions, everybody is Black,” he said. “Everybody is a minority. Everybody is vaccinated. Everybody’s wearing a mask. Everybody has purple hair. Everybody’s pronouns are ‘they’ and ‘them.'”

DeLuca replied that she couldn’t remember the last time she saw a commercial depicting a “white, straight couple,” and said that corporations have “completely eliminated white people” from advertisements.

DeLuca made a second appearance on The Stew Peters Show on Feb. 15, 2024 — this time to attack a Super Bowl ad depicting various people washing one another’s feet. The ad, which is part of a Christian campaign called “He Gets Us,” has ties to the Alliance Defending Freedom — an anti-LGBTQ hate group.

But it riled right-wing Christians for its sympathetic portrayal of marginalized people and groups.

Stew Peters denounced the advertisement as “blasphemous,” claiming that its goal was to “make white, Christian people look like they are hateful so that then they can censor speech about God’s word as hate speech.”

DeLuca appeared to agree with this assessment, saying that in the “last ten to fifteen years” there has been a “war that’s been waged on Christianity.” She denounced drag shows and pride flags in churches, as well as pastors who refer to God as non-binary or trans, as part of that “war.”

“This Super Bowl ad is just another depiction of how our society has been able to, and gotten away with, mocking and perversing [sic] Christianity,” DeLuca said. “And so you always have to ask yourself how we got to this place.”

“How’s the American church at a position where the entire world is able to make a laughingstock out of Christianity?” she asked. “You don’t see it with Islam. You don’t see it with the Jews. You only see it with Christianity. … It was really appalling but also eye-opening to see the amount of Christians that were defending something that was just so openly blasphemous.”
