One state Republican official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the effort to disband the group, which was first reported by Newsday, would allow for a fresh start."
"They referred to Black people as monkeys and the watermelon people,' and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers, Politico reported. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. The report concluded, The chat offers an unfiltered look at how a new generation of GOP activists talk when they think no one is listening."
New York Republican leaders are set to disband the state's Young Republicans chapter after antisemitic, misogynistic, and racist Telegram chats surfaced.
