"Look, I got to tell you, the moment kind of confused me in the moment, I'm not surprised it went viral. Why? Because that's what they amplify. Outrage, Nazi, answer, not, own, destroyed, all that BS, right? I want to disrupt that, because I know it's the problem. Now, what is also a problem? The texts, right? From these young Republicans."
"Hold on, hold on, Ben. Pelosi's a step too far because the way he made a joke about what happened and other Republicans made a joke now again I hate all of this and want to disrupt it because I know it's cheap. I'm just saying no one has high ground until you two do what you're talking about here on a regular basis for your own."
"But right now it's just too easy to do what JD Vance did that pissed off Adam, which is I'm gonna go right to the other side being worse.. We gotta get about who is better. And Adam, look, I get why you did what you did, but I did see how the Midas Touch advertised it today. The MeidasTouch, Master class! Look how he destroyed! Look how he exposed the Nazi sympathies!"
A leaked Telegram chat among Young Republican leaders contained racist, anti-Jewish, pro-Nazi, and other bigoted rhetoric. Andrew Kolvet failed to condemn the chat during a town hall panel, prompting visible shock from Adam Mockler of the MeidasTouch network while others onstage did denounce it. Chris Cuomo criticized MeidasTouch for hyping Mockler's exchange and suggested outrage amplification drives virality. Mockler countered that the clip went viral because of the chat's content rather than promotional tactics. The exchange unfolded on NewsNation during a Cuomo-hosted town hall and drew public attention to both the chat and reactions to it.
