Young republicans in question are all adults, not in college, working in gov't, and complete pieces of s**t.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" 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

1. Next excuse will be that their accounts were hacked

And it wasn't them.

[EdmondDantes_]

37. Some of them have already said that the chats may have been altered

It's sad and weak, but that's like Trump trying to claim that the Access Hollywood tape wasn't him. When there's no real punishment for lying, why not throw it out there?

[Vogon_Glory]

2. When they've passed their twenty-fifth or thirtieth birthdays, they've aged past

being kids. The minimum age for being a US congressional representative is 25. The minimum age for being a US Senator is 30.

[DET]

3. All Hideous Incels

As expected. Or self-hating closeted gays. ‘Grow up!’; how dare he.

[SWBTATTReg]

4. And they still (most of them where Mom and Dad haven't kicked them out) live in their parent's

basements, being that most of them probably don't have decent jobs or can't hold onto them, being that they mostly 'mouthed' off their fellow employees, fellow workers, neighbors, you name it. They can't get along w/ anybody mainly because most people don't want to deal w/ them. And by the way, Moms and Dads across the country are kicking them out of the basement in ever increasing numbers.

[Passages]

5. I'm glad the names are exposed.

6. Jay Jones was 33 when he posted his text messages

that the GOP is quite rightly up in arms about. Funny how he can't use the I was young excuse.

[eppur_se_muova]

7. Show of hands ... how many think VDJance was perfectly well aware of those facts before he made that statement?

[Picaro]

14. Hand raised

[MustLoveBeagles]

17. Of course he was

He lies as easily as normal people breathe.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

25. JD Vance is living proof that weasels can grow beards.

He is a self serving lying POS.

[Hekate]

9. They also are not fringe, anomalies, or outliers. They are who Republicans are today.

Any Repug saying "this isn't who we are" is a fucking liar or deeply delusional about the party they are choosing to be part of.

The only difference between these guys and those trying to distance themselves from these guys is transparency.

[Ocelot II]

10. These aren't fourteen-year-olds vying with each other

to see who can be the most outrageous and offensive. Middle-school kids push the boundaries of social norms until somebody - usually a parent or a teacher - sets them straight. These are adults, mostly holding real jobs, mostly college graduates, some over 30, not opposition-defiant eight-grade boys. But since Shady Vance never got over that phase himself, it's not surprising that he'd make excuses for these hateful, privileged incels.

[BOSSHOG]

11. Kansas republicans were SO ASHAMED

their spawn got caught, they did away with young republicans. Not because of who and what they are but because they got caught. Somehow Vance draws a paycheck.

[JoseBalow]

12. If you support Nazis, you are a Nazi

[hatrack]

23. Nice haircut . . .

It has that elusive "Sobibor 1943" vibe . . .

[DBoon]

27. wasn't that cut called a "faschi" for trying to make fascism fashionable?

[hatrack]

31. Indeed yes . . . and it does match German male hairstyles of that time . . .

Some UK fashion rag named "The Nazis" as the most stylish in some farcical award in the late 1980s, IIRC.

This Modern World responded with a cartoon including the memorable phrase "Is that an Anschluss in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"

[NBachers]

13. These rejects think that they are just Cocks o' The Walk, don't they?

[Midnight Writer]

15. You can be sure this is not the first group chat that includes this vile filth.

I reckon it is par for the course, else they wouldn't be so cavalier and bold with it.

[lastlib]

16. They're ADULTS!

IDIOTS, to be sure, but ADULTS nonetheless. They have to be held to adult standards.

[tulipsandroses]

18. Racism, hate, bigotry are real issues.

Its now accepted as the norm in a good number of Americans.

[struggle4progress]

19. That rumbling is my stomach remembering Hitler killed my great-grampa

Maybe the jokes seemed funnier when told to swastika-bedecked dreck-heads

[orangecrush]

20. ...

[Uncle Joe]

21. Well this does fit hand in glove with the idea of demonizing or labeling the idea of antifa

as being a terrorist organization.

Thanks for the thread bigtree.

[NoMoreRepugs]

22. Pasty chickenshit MFer's talking big through their phones - dipsticks one and all.

[odins folly]

24. Grow up! Focus on the real issues.

I wonder what would have happened if Democrats had said the same thing when the maga were all crybaby weeping and lashing out at people who correctly pointed out that savior kirk was in fact a piece of shit human and the world is now a better place……

Fuck these people…..

[Klarkashton]

26. Fuck you weird beard those bastards are all your age.

[johnnyfins]

28. From a messaging standpoint, it's time to start

Calling them by their preferred name: "MAGAS". It is now the "MAGA" party. If they want to continue to use "Democrat Party", we can use "MAGA" party. I will not use republican again. Join me.

[Mblaze]

29. Okay, JD

Let's concentrate on the fact that Donald Trump is an ignorant narcissistic sociopath that is cashing in on the Presidency and alienating everyone in the world other than the autocrats. We can mull over the fact that he lies about who pays tariffs and how he screwed the farmers last time he was President as well. We know that farmers didn't have to plow their crops under when Biden was President,

We could concentrate on you and the rest of MAGA working hard to develop a false narrative in American minds. Show is how Portland is burning. I live near enough to Portland to testify that it is not burning.

JD. Why don't you tell Donnie that he can't lower prices by 600 - 400 - 1500%? Are you afraid of him or do you believe he can do that?

[flashman13]

30. And Meal Team Six can't figure out why they can't get dates. Look in the mirror. Read your disgusting texts.

No big mystery here.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

32. I am so tired

Of being held hostage by assholes with narcissistic personality disorders. In my fantasy people like them would not exist. They make everything suck for everyone else.

[flashman13]

35. Roger that!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

33. This scandal is pissing off some GOP house members

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.
