"The logs of a group chat run by young leaders in the GOP were leaked and published by Politico earlier this week. In addition to using slurs against pretty much every marginalized group, here are some of the things the people who will run the party in the next few decades said to each other when they thought no one was listening: "Everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber." "Great. I love Hitler." "Stay in the closet fa***t""
""This girl is fully ret**ded" "Sex? It was rape." "Epic." "You're giving nationals to [sic] much credit and expecting the Jew to be honest.""
"Well, I don't want that banker to feel liberated. I don't want to read about idiot Republicans in real positions of power - there were state party leaders and lawmakers in that group chat - using slurs and joking about the Holocaust. I don't want to have a president posting sombrero memes to mock workers who are getting furloughed, and I don't think that the White House should be joking about feeding immigrants to alligators. And the people who call this out shouldn't be mocked as humorless scolds. Because they're right: It isn't something people in power should be doing."
Leaked logs from a GOP group chat show young party leaders using slurs against multiple marginalized groups and praising Hitler. Messages included calls for violence, homophobic and ableist epithets, a comment about rape framed as "epic," and an antisemitic remark. A banker celebrated a post-inauguration freedom to use slurs without fear of being canceled. The reaction rejects normalization of such language by officials and objects to mocking furloughed workers or joking about harming immigrants. The material argues that those who call out the behavior should not be dismissed as humorless scolds and that moral correctness matters.
