In reply to the discussion: Trump Official Leaked 'Nazi' GOP Chat After Being Left Out of Photo With the President [View all]UpInArms

The rot in the Republican Party is broad and wide, with no end other than its demise
Still, amid the finger-pointing, its clear some Republicans are more enraged about the leak than the horrifying contents of the messages themselves.
When Kansas gubernatorial candidate Vicki Schmidt called on two state Young Republican leaders to resign over their racist comments revealed in the leak, she was viciously attacked online. Aidan, Giuntas ally, told her: Have fun being another stupid b**ch that ran for governor and lost.
The Young Republican National Federation, with 15,000 members nationwide, issued a statement condemning the chats contents and calling for resignations. But not everyone in the party agreed.
Enter JD Vance.
The vice president refused to denounce the slurs. Instead, he defended the leakers victims.
I refuse to join the pearl clutching, Vance wrote on X. Most of the stupid things that I did as a teenager and as a young adult, theyre not on the internet.
Both Giunta and Wax are 31.

Well, they are truly deluded. That is why they appeal to the fringe elements in our society. (n/t)

I wonder how many other "young" republican chat groups are engaged in the same vile behavior.

To quote the kid in Terminator 2 when asked how many police there were, "Ahhh, all of them, I think."
