NEW YORK — Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.

They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.


I’d love to say this surprises me, but it does not in the slightest.

      No they didn’t lol. Far leftist nuts did. Every federal democrat that made a statement said they hoped he would pull through and that political violence is never the answer.

      I’m afraid it would be too difficult to explain to you the difference between being a bigoted fascist, and “celebrating” the death of a bigoted fascist.

      Not difficult for complexity (it’s really pretty simple), but difficult like explaining Norway to a dog.

      If I had to choose between a group who made fun of death of someone because of his extremely bigoted, sexist and racist views vs a group of people who have fun with the idea of sending people at large to gas chambers because of their race, I think the choice is clear. Next time come with a better “what about”.

      Another fuck nut neo-Nazi. The vast majority agreed it was wrong the racist bag of shit croaked. However he wanted sacrifices for his interpretation of 2A to continue and became part of his wish. As you know, Heinrich Himmler and Joseph Goebbels had families too.

        None of them. OP is projecting, misinformed, suffering psychosis, or all three. Democratic politicians said that violence is wrong, and that they mourn for Charlie’s family.

        OP might be confusing reality with their own head canon, and should seriously consider going to a psychiatrist.

          I’m asking for that exact reason. If that can’t come up with actual names I assume they are trolling.

            I’m assuming they are trolling. My thing is - even if you can find some actual Democratic politician that did…it doesn’t even matter. It doesn’t relate to this.

      We also celebrated Hitler dying as a country. Fuck that nazi bitch, died in a school shooting like he needed to.
