Young Republicans Face Fallout Over Leaked Racist Messages
The Young Republican National Federation (YRNF) is facing backlash after a Politico report revealed thousands of leaked group chat messages containing racist slurs, violent rhetoric, and offensive jokes.
- Racist slurs and violent rhetoric were used in the chats.
- Jokes about rape and gas chambers were also made.
- One member suggested sending people who voted "no" in a YRNF chairman election to the "gas chamber".
- Others used derogatory terms to refer to Black people, such as "monkeys" or "the watermelon people".
One member wrote that “everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber,”
Several participants, including William Hendrix, a vice chair of the Kansas Young Republicans, faced immediate consequences, with Hendrix being fired from the Kansas attorney general’s office for using variations of the N-word over a dozen times in the chat.
Vice President JD Vance refused to condemn the behavior, stating he won't "join the pearl clutching."
