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.

It's being referred to in the press as the "I love Hilter" chat because... yeah, that's one of the things they said. Along with multiple variations on the N-word, "the watermelon people," pro-slavery chatter, talk about raping their enemies, slurs galore, putting their political opponents in gas chambers, and much more. Politico calls it "an unfiltered look at how a new generation of GOP activists talk when they think no one is listening," and it's truly a horrifying collection of id gone wild.

Politico on Tuesday revealed 2,900 pages of leaked chats from a Telegram group chat involving Young Republicans leaders. The chats included racist and offensive language. Members of the group, which included people actively working with elected officials and some attempting to take leadership positions in the national Young Republicans organization, were aware that if the contents of their messages were revealed they could face severe repercussions.

Politico published 2,900 pages of leaked exchanges among a dozen state-level Young Republican leaders from New York to Arizona. The chats included references to Black people as monkeys and the watermelon people, praise for Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, and discussions of rape and gas chambers. Several of the chat members have since stepped down from their roles.
