Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

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.”

    Sad thing is: this doesnt mean shit. They dont even need to feel bad. This is the new normal and every new incident with no consequences normalizes it further.

    Nobody should be surprised by this. Every Republican I’ve ever known on this planet says these exact same things when they feel they’re safe, every last one.

      A highschool friend of mine is of the Republican peruasion, or whatever equavalent my country has. Some weeks ago he was having a game night with his footbal friends. During the night he was sending pictures in our group chat. We could see mount beercan growing in every picture, but it all looked like a fun night so far. Until some point when the picture of the next board game didn’t show a board game, but it showed a copy of mein kampf on the table. And he was making inapproriate jokes about it. One of our group is jewish and he took offence. The drunk, republican friend than quickly deleted the picture and appologized. But the damage was done. He had shown his colours.

        Mein Kampf itself isn’t an issue. I think people should read it so they understand how absolutely stupid fascism and Hitler were.

        Holding it in anything other than complete disdain after reading it though, that’s a paddlin.

    Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time, referred to rape as “epic.”

    Let me guess, he’s going to look like a fat loser with daddy money behaving like “her knees are too pointy”?

    Checks image

    Ding ding ding!

    And no, not fat shaming this turd, this is a guy who is well over weight because his daddy gives him everything he wants.

    You’re barely 20 and you’re already bottom of the barrel scum. Impressive.aa

    Having said all of this: this fuck yard is the real deal in his wishes; he’d happily see you raped or brutally murdered because you dated to disagree with him

    Should this ass-hat ever feel safe again I’m the USA? Or the entire world, for that matter. Left to his own devices I find it hard to believe that he won’t directly or indirectly murder someone within the next 5 years. This guy’s face should be plastered all over the news and billboards so that people know what he is and how he thinks.

    But instead we just screech about having to check genitals when entering a bathroom

    “apologies”:

    “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.”

    “There is no excuse for the language and tone in messages attributed to me. The language is wrong and hurtful, and I sincerely apologize,”

    Still leaving the door open for deniability.

    When do we bring that side out?
    He also hates the Jews❤️
    It was rape

    And everyone that endorsed but then votes for us is going to the gas chamber.🔥
    Also … we are officially under consideration for a Trump endorsement. 😁
    I’d go to the zoo if I wanted to watch monkey play ball
    Great. I love Hitler😁
    Yoooooooo
    This girl is fully r------d
    Kick the b—h
    you’re giving nationals to much credit and expecting the Jew to be honest 😆
    Stay in the closet f----t
    If we ever had a leak of this chat we would be cooked fr fr

    Benefit of the doubt asks me to look at this as some form of edginess, but it’s all just too bad and obvious.
    MAGAts - even the young ones - have only one sense of humor: to demean and insult and hurt others. And that’s not funny at all.

    “C’mon, we were just fucking around” - nah, that statement alone tells me that you’re callous, dumb and ultimately dangerous.

    Once again, it is not hyperbole to say that Republicans want to kill you.

    Once again, if you are physically and mentally able, you should be arming yourself to the best of your ability for the day when they are emboldened to act out their violent delusions en masse. And that day may come sooner than you think, as it has with every fascist milestone thus far.

    And it’s nothing new. The Young Republicans group at my university were all equally shitty people. The only difference now is that they don’t feel the need to be as cautious and guarded.

    I have read this story so many times over last few decades, that this party is the moral majority just disgusts me.

    Their leader is a guy who just grabs them by the pussy….

      If that was the only thing, he is a fucking pedophile and likely was not Epstein client but a partner.

    Sooooo they moved from 4chan to telegram? Other than that, this isn’t news for anyone that’s ever interacted with a Republican when they feel comfortable.

    Imagine what the old GOP leaders were saying when they were young. Bet you it’s a lot like this.
