POLITICO interviewed 2 people in the chat & granted them anonymity after they expressed concerns about personal & professional repercussions. One retained the messages & showed the text chain in its entirety to POLITICO, which independently verified that the number listed on the chain belongs to #PaulIngrassia. The person said he came forward because he wants “the government to be staffed with experienced people who are taken seriously.”
…In May 2024, the group was bantering about a #Trump campaign staffer who’d been hired in Georgia & was working on outreach to minority voters, when #PaulIngrassia suggested she didn’t show enough deference to the Founding Fathers being white, acc/to the chat.
“Paul belongs in the Hitler Youth with Ubergruppenfuhrer Steve Bannon,” the first participant in the chat wrote, referring to the paramilitary rank in #Nazi Germany & the #Republican strategist.
