From Occupy Democrats:BREAKING: SHARE AND SHAME! Here’s the full uncensored list of the Young Republicans leaders whose racist, rapey, pro-Hitler group text messages leaked in yesterday’s horrifying bombshell.
Let’s make sure their future potential employers to avoid hiring them like the plague!
These are the deplorables who “joked” with each other in private chats over the course of seven months during the Trump administration, thinking that they were impervious to accountability. Their lives all changed radically yesterday when Politico exposed their disgusting texts for all the world to see.
Of the nine people on the list, four are part of the New York chapter of the Young Republicans, two are from the Kansas chapter, two from the Vermont organization, and one from Arizona.
The New York participants are all senior members of the state’s Young Republican organization and are closely associated with Representatives Elise Stefanik and Mike Lawler. They Include:
Peter Giunta — The chair of the New York Young Republicans, Giunta was guilty of making a “joke” about gas chambers in relation to his campaign to become the head of the Young Republican National Federation.
“Everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber. And everyone that endorsed but then votes for us is going to the gas chamber,” Giunta texted in the chat, adding that he only wanted “true believers” in his organization. He’s also someone who has proclaimed his allegiance to teenage New York Republicans who “support slavery and all that shit.” This is a man who felt comfortable joking about suicide, saying that he wanted to encourage another Young Republican member to “unalive himself on the convention floor.”
Giunta made a non-apology after his texts were discovered, claiming to accept “complete responsibility,” but going on to speculate that the messages released “may have been deceptively doctored.”
Bobby Walker — Giunta’s vice chair of the New York Young Republicans, Walker had the temerity to call rape “epic” in one of his texts. He also claimed that the texts may have been manipulated before offering a belated apology for his words.
Joe Maligno — The general counsel of the New York organization, Maligno thought that a jocular comment on gas chambers was an appropriate thing to write. "Can we fix the showers? Gas chambers don’t fit the Hitler aesthetic," he contributed to one thread.
Annie Kaykaty — Kaykaty was another New York State Young Republicans national committee member who found gas chambers were a laughing matter. "I’m ready to watch people burn now," she wrote.
The chat participants from Kansas were no less offensive:
Alex Dwyer — The chair of the Kansas Young Republicans, Dwyer thought that it was funny to reply to a question about his hotel room number with “1488,” a number beloved by White supremacists because “14” symbolizes the 14 words in a neo-Nazi slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." With “H” being the 8th letter of the alphabet, proto-fascists consider it as shorthand for “Heil Hitler.”
William Hendrix — Dwyer’s vice chair in the Kansas organization, Hendrix has no problem dropping the N-word and homophobic slurs throughout his texts. A former communications director for Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, Hendrix also likes to engage in blatant racist stereotyping, as when he wrote: “Bro is at a chicken restaurant ordering his food. Would he like some watermelon and Kool-Aid with that?”
Samuel and Brianna Douglass — Samuel is a Vermont State Senator. His wife Brianna is a committee member for the Vermont Young Republicans. They both have no problem expressing their antisemitism freely. When Samuel informed the group that a procedural mistake over the number of delegates from Maryland allowed to attend the organization's national convention was possibly made by someone who was Jewish, his wife Brianna replied: “I was about to say that you’re giving nationals to [sic] much credit and expecting the Jew to be honest.”
Luke Mosiman — How much worse can it get than having Mosiman, the chair of the Arizona Young Republicans, call for the rape of the chair of the Young Republican National Federation, Hayden Padgett? In all caps, Mosiman texted “RAPE HAYDEN.” He also suggested trying to link white supremacist groups to an opponent before realizing that this plan could actually backfire and give more support to the other candidate.
While other Republicans have been quick to condemn these political operatives as rogue members of their party and have tried to disassociate themselves from them, the fact of the matter is that these were not just ordinary members of the public, but senior officials in the Republican Party’s youth organization. They are about as representative of the values and behavior of the modern MAGA-fied version of the Republican Party as you can get.
Please share to spread their shame! Credit to Occupy Democrats.
