Thousands of leaked racist and pro-Nazi chat messages between “young” Republican activists

JEFFREY ST. CLAIR>

+ Politico’s summary of thousands of leaked racist and pro-Nazi chat messages between “young” Republican activists:


They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

+ Here are a few of the more rancid texts:


“I love Hitler.”

“They love the Watermelon people.”

“Stay in the closet faggot.”

“Kick the bitch.”

“I’m ready to start watching people burn now.”

“You’re giving nationals too much credit and expecting the Jew to be honest.”

“Everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.”

“Can we fix the showers? Gas chambers don’t fit the Hitler aesthetic.”

“We got to pretend to like them. ‘Hey, come on in. Take a nice shower and relax.’ Boom–they’re dead.”

“I’d go to the zoo if I wanted to watch monkey play ball.”

JM: “The Spanish came to America and had sex with every single woman.”

AD: “Sex is gay.”

LM: “Sex? It was rape.”

BW: “Epic.”

“If we ever had a leak of this chat we would be cooked.”

+ Rep. Yvette Clark, chair of Congressional Black Caucus: “When we say white supremacy is thriving on the right, they call us reactionary… Give me a break. The future of the Republican Party proudly embraces bigotry that belongs in the past, and every American needs to recognize how dangerous that is.”

+ JD Vance’s attempt to distract from the public indignation over the “I love Hitler” TrumpYouth group chat:


Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don’t focus on what kids say in group chats… The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That’s what kids do.

Some of those “kids” hold public office and the Young Republicans National Federation is described as “the GOP’s 15,000-member political organization for Republicans between 18 and 40 years old.” These racists could be considered Republican “kids,” only in comparison to Charles Grassley (92) and Mitch McConnell (83). Meanwhile, Vance and Trump want 12-year-olds tried as adults, including for capital offenses.
