Leaked text from messaging platform
00:00:01
Telegram revealed leaders of the young
00:00:03
Republican groups exchanged racist,
00:00:04
sexist, and anti-Semitic texts over the
00:00:06
span of 7 months. JD Vance couch potato
00:00:09
called the response to the Republican
00:00:10
group text pearl clutching. Let's listen
00:00:12
to a clip of him on the Charlie Kirk
00:00:14
show.
00:00:15
The reality is that kids do stupid
00:00:17
things, especially young boys. They tell
00:00:20
edgy, offensive jokes. Like that's what
00:00:22
kids do.
00:00:23
I don't know. One, these aren't
00:00:26
children. Some of these some of these
00:00:28
people specifically some of these men
00:00:30
are not even young men. They're 31 and
00:00:32
35.
00:00:34
Uh two, he's the wrong messenger for
00:00:37
this because he's totally inconsistent.
00:00:39
If this was a Democratic young
00:00:42
Democratic chat, he would have ordered a
00:00:44
gunship and [ __ ] the Army Rangers to
00:00:48
their homes. And uh this is the same
00:00:51
group of people that says that a joke
00:00:53
about uh Donald Trump
00:00:57
talking about a ballroom when asked
00:00:59
about Charlie Kirk is so offensive that
00:01:01
it should be removed from the air. And
00:01:03
when you look at what they said it I
00:01:07
don't like there is a certain gotcha
00:01:08
culture where the media goes crazy
00:01:11
around calling people out. But the
00:01:13
reality is when you read these texts,
00:01:15
these young men or or adults, these
00:01:18
adult men are about to learn a valuable
00:01:21
life lesson in that there is no context
00:01:24
for which these types of conversations
00:01:26
or statements are acceptable and
00:01:29
distinctive whether they're racist,
00:01:31
bigoted, whatever, homophobic, it should
00:01:35
logically, practically hurt their
00:01:36
careers because these people just lack
00:01:38
so much common sense and they have such
00:01:41
poor judgment.
00:01:43
to not only think these things, but to
00:01:46
put them down in a text chat.
