A number of Young Republicans have been implicated in a scandal over racist, antisemitic and misogynistic comments in leaked chat messages.
Politico obtained 2,900 pages of exchanges over seven months among a dozen Young Republican leaders in New York, Kansas, Arizona and Vermont – many of these young politicians are now facing calls to step down.
Or maybe it’s the short list of candidates for next year’s presidential medal of freedom?

You know, no one can hold something against you if you don’t say it in the first place.

It’s great Newsweek is posting this but it is important to remember the people making comments is half the story. The other half is everyone else who remained in the chat who never said anything. This vile bigotry was not a deal breaker for them, and not enough of a concern for them to speak out against.

Am I wrong? No, it is the people who didn’t say awful things who are bad.

What do you get when you take children, sit them at the dinner table with their folks watching FOX news for about half a century now, learning how to love your neighbor, what the fk would you expect?????
These are creeps they are **grooming** (you can take **grooming** in all ways for these folks) to run our nation!
I remember the beginning of the CRT/WOKE/ANTICHRIST conservative movement all the talk about white children being embarrassed/uncomfortable learning about racism and slavery in school, and how the whole system needed to stop and change (mcmahon’s job now)! The reason they were embarrassed/uncomfortable is remembering their parents at the dinner table watching FOX and yelling all sort of racist hate! 4/19/23 The dems should have pulled all stops, shut FOX down and seized all murdhoch wealth!

Why can’t we do this with ICE agents? I agree with these guys getting consequnces for being horrible, and actually physically hurting people is so much worse.

We live in an era where Republicans can do no wrong.. ever.
Why?
Because they only see the world from their own selfish and self-serving perspective.
That translates to — *EVERYTHING is offensive to them*
Even calling offensive people offensive. Its all about surreptitiously claiming to be.. the victim.. while victimizing humanity — with zero fear of consequence or repercussions. That is what it means to be Republican in this modern era.
Zero room for reality.. Reality is offensive to them.

This literally happened at my college years ago. I went to a very small VERY liberal school. The fact that we even had a young republican club was shocking. It was disbanded because someone faking being a republican stayed long enough to be included into the group chat and once they saw the shit that was in there (SO many racial slurs) leaked it all.
It was never Trump. This was well before Trump. This is who the party has always attracted.

People exposing you for what you are is apparently character assassination. This people are in-line to become POTUS one day in this political climate.

They keep using the name of the group but I feel it’s misleading. None of them are young. These aren’t kids. They are all adults. Adults in positions of influence and some with very real political power.
This is beyond concerning. We need real penalties for this.
