"And I think that's good. I meanthis is not in any meaningful way leadership' of the Republican party. It is a Republican group that exists. And what is being shown, of course, is the type of thing that anybody should be removed from, whatever position they're in, and that seems like it is happening. Now, J.D. Vance plays the politics of Donald Trump, which is, you never apologize, you never back down. You distract, you talk about something else. That's not surprising."
"J.D. Vance is the leader of the party. He's playing it down. He's even joking about it. And you said he's in many ways voicing what Donald Trump does. So, they're not the leaders of the party? No, absolutely. I'm saying those people involved are not the leaders, Buck said. Yes, I think J.D. Vance this should be very easy. You absolutely reject it. You condemn it. And you say, Any of those people who talk like that have no place in the party."
A racist Young Republican group chat came to light. Vice President JD Vance characterized the chat as "edgy, offensive jokes" and mocked the resulting outrage as "pearl clutching." Republican reactions split: some local chapters were closed and several lawmakers fired implicated staffers. Many implicated individuals faced removal or discipline. Some described the participants as not representing party leadership and called for accountability, while others defended a strategy of refusing apology and deflection. Critics argued Vance should have unequivocally condemned the chat and stated that those who talk like that have no place in the party.
