"FIU does not and will not tolerate violence, hate, discrimination, harassment, racism or antisemitism. This is not who we are. This is not what FIU stands for."
"The chat, which was denounced by the state GOP, involved students and several top conservative leaders at Florida International University, according to the Miami Herald, which viewed and independently verified the conversations."
"Antisemitism and bigotry have no place in the Republican Party, said Sam Markstein, a spokesman for the Jewish GOP group."
Florida International University initiated an investigation into a group chat created by a Miami-Dade Republican Party official that contained violently racist slurs, antisemitic remarks, and misogynistic language involving students and top conservative leaders at the university. The Miami Herald independently verified the conversations. FIU President Jeanette Nunez stated the university does not tolerate violence, hate, discrimination, harassment, racism, or antisemitism. The Republican Party of Florida condemned the comments as repugnant and contrary to organizational values, undertaking an internal review. The Republican Jewish Coalition also denounced the chat, emphasizing that antisemitism and bigotry have no place in the Republican Party. Campus police coordinated with local, state, and federal law enforcement in the investigation.
