"All members of the Young Republicans are between the ages of 18 and 40. The 'I love Hitler' guy (who also called Black people monkeys) is Peter Giunta, a man in his 30s and chief of staff to New York state Assemblymember Mike Reilly."

"The guys yukking it up in the most revolting terms in the Young Republicans chat weren’t 'young boys'—they were early-ish career Republican political professionals. Peter Giunta, one of the chat’s worst offenders, is 31. He was recently a candidate for national chair of the organization, which pulls in about a million dollars in donations a year."

"There are two issues here. One is that the MAGA right has a legitimate Nazi problem. The second is that the MAGA right believes there are two standards: The ultra-permissive one that applies to them and their followers within which there are zero consequences for even the worst behavior, and the far stricter one that applies to liberals or any other perceived political opponents."

"When he noted a procedural error made by a Jewish colleague, his wife Brianna Douglass — who sits on the national committee of the Vermont Young Republicans — chimed in to say, 'I was about to say you’re giving nationals to [sic] much credit and expecting the Jew to be honest.'

Many of the participants in this group chat are older than the recent college grads who staffed up DOGE and dismantled the federal government."

"I can’t find the age of Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans, but he was recently touted by his organization as 'a veteran GOP strategist from Albany.' Samuel Douglass, a Vermont state senator, joined in a conversation in which Walker mocked a friend who 'dated this very obese Indian woman for a period of time;' Douglass added, 'she just didn’t bathe very often.'”

" In the edgy messages, the leaders used racist themes and epithets freely and cheered slavery, rape, gas chambers, and torturing their opponents. They expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler.

One of them wrote to the others, 'If we ever had a leak of this chat we would be cooked [for real for real].'”

"This is what you get after a decade of Trumpism’s ascendance: a young-activist base that has self-selected for the most amoral and psychotic political strivers, and has held them up as a professional ideal for the young people coming up behind them to copy and emulate. This is what they know as the ticket to power. It’s MAGA gone metastatic."

"Wouldn’t that be the same 'new generation' that the media fell over themselves to lionize Charlie Kirk about 'reaching?' OK, then (quoting POLITICO):

'Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders.'"
