EXCLUSIVE 'I love Hitler': Leaked messages expose Young Republicans' racist chat
Source: Politico
NEW YORK Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.
They referred to Black people as monkeys and the watermelon people and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans vice chair, used the words n--ga and n--guh, variations of a racial slur, more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time, referred to rape as epic. Peter Giunta, who at the time was chair of the same organization, wrote in a message sent in June that everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.
Giunta was referring to an upcoming vote on whether he should become chair of the Young Republican National Federation, the GOPs 15,000-member political organization for Republicans between 18 and 40 years old.

They talk about putting Democrats in âgas chambers,â attacking âJews,â calling Black people âwatermelon people,â calling to ârapeâ their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

(1,861 posts)"GQP claim alliance with Israel......and many American Jews."
I took that to mean that the GQP *acts* like they're friends of both Israel and American Jews, but they really are not based on these messages.
Hence my voting "it doesn't break the rule".

There was no mention of any antisemitism. Also it is often pointed out the similarities and closeness of Trump and Netanyahu. So I read the entirety of the post as an associative relationship.
The poster is free to correct me if I misunderstand their statement.

(1,861 posts)The context of the OP is antisemitism writ large so I perceived the post in question as calling out the GQP for as being dangerous in the sense of being disingenuous/not to be trusted (particularly by Jewish folks), wherein 'claim' is kind of the operative word in the sentence. I guess they can clarify if they want

(6,173 posts)One of the biggest figures in the revelations, Giunta's gone with the insincere apology/witch hunt/fake news/hacked account combo.
These logs were sourced by way of extortion and provided to POLITICO by the very same people conspiring against me, he said. Whats most disheartening is that, despite my unwavering support of President Trump since 2016, rouge [sic] members of his administration including Gavin Wax have participated in this conspiracy to ruin me publicly simply because I challenged them privately.
I am so sorry to those offended by the insensitive and inexcusable language found within the more than 28,000 messages of a private group chat that I created during my campaign to lead the Young Republicans, he said. While I take complete responsibility, I have had no way of verifying their accuracy and am deeply concerned that the message logs in question may have been deceptively doctored.

Vance posted on X an excerpt from one of messages attributed to Jones which read: only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.
This is far worse than anything said in a college group chat, and the guy who said it could become the AG of Virginia. I refuse to join the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence, Vance said.

(1,640 posts)the excuse? Just locker room talk - if anyone remembers that excuse. And that, according them, makes it ok. Great republicant parents, by the way, if they condone this. Maybe some of us should let them know even though they probably feel the same as their good-for-nothing offspring.

(2,907 posts)... do you suppose these impressionable young bullies and bigots learn such repugnant behavior? Why, from Mummy and Daddy, of course! And they, in turn, were quietly indoctrinated a favorite Kkkonservative accusation by the Elder Racists and Malevolent Thugs of the Grand Old Party.
And people chide me when I say that my hatred of the Republican Party burns hotter than the surface of the Sun. They are the same people who want to canonize Charlie Kirk, the consummate racist, bigot, and antisemitic pig.
Wonder Why
(6,262 posts)The Bold emphasis is mine.
Taken out of context? That's interesting. what context was intended by blatantly hate-mongering and racist remarks?
Clearly intended to inflict harm? You mean those statements were meant to be shared only by those that believed in them but were not meant to create any harm so the only harm came because the truth of their bigotry and hatred became public?
Disgusting example of what is supposed to be a human being, are you" as Yoda would say.
