‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat

[Felis Leo]

Well, that’s them. When I say “western values,” I mean “western values,” including those that emerged from the Enlightenment, such as separation of church and state.

Separation of church and state. So you are against the Christian Bible being taught in class (by itself, and not simply as another text in a religious studies course) and the Ten Commandments being put up in every classroom?

In most Muslim countries, no such distinction is made. I think the western ideas are better.

What "Western Ideas" do you actually value?

 

[Ahlevah]

The NAZI's are not NAZI's!

No, they’re still Nazis. They’re not people who uphold traditional western conservative values.

 

[Gimmesometruth]

western ideas are better. So call me a cultural chauvinist if you want, but race has nothing to do with it.

You are trying to redefine race as a mater of genetics, always reducing these debates to semantic nonsense. Race is ethnicity. Ethnicity is distinctions based on culture, you are proclaiming, like all racists do, the superiority of your group.

 

[Gimmesometruth]

No, they’re still Nazis. They’re not people who uphold traditional western conservative values.

Fascism did not emerge from China.

Take your pick:

I am a white guy with a southern accent that likes to fish, lifts weights, and am outdoorsy, so I "code" like a typical Republican even though I am not. I often hear guys say racist and or bigoted shit when they think they are not in mixed company. Anyone on here that is on the right that tells you that there aren't a lot of racist Republicans is a liar and they know they are lying because they hear it all the time.

Because the fact that they were said in a private conversation poses no threat to anyone. Privately saying things, even if they are horrible things, doesn't equate to someone posing a threat to anyone else.

Thread 'Politico: "Democratic candidate’s ‘abhorrent’ texts threaten to shake up bellwether Virginia elections"'

Oct 4, 2025

A string of text messages from Jay Jones, Virginia’s Democratic nominee for attorney general, where he mused about violence directed toward a political rival is triggering widespread backlash and threatening to shake up the state’s November election. But while Jones has signaled he plans to remain in the race, Republicans up and down the ballot are pressing the Democratic nominee for governor, Abigail Spanberger, to publicly call on him to step aside.

In August 2022, Jones mused about shooting then-Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert in text messages he sent to Republican...

Tell me about those Western conservative values.

Immature little children posing as adults.

 

[uptower]

Yet they piss and moan when compared to nazis...

 

[Fletch]

Why should we take the moral high ground when you MAGAs scrape as low to the bottom of the barrel as possible?

So you are no different or better than MAGA. Like that comes as a shock lol

 

[Fletch]

I'm not in charge of politics in my state. I already told you we tried to go high a few years ago and it never worked. We have a Nazi wannabe in the WH. His name is Miller. I don't see any MAGAs condemning him.

Miller isnt a Nazi

This man is doing far more damage to America than any state AG can do. Just know that what Jones has said is horrible. I don't know the guy.

Thats fair, but no one in your party will stand up and call him out

 

[Ho Ho Ho!]

What if a person tells Bob in private, "Jill deserves two bullets to the skull over Evil Thing 1 and Evil Thing 2"

Not sure what you're asking here.

A peculiar duality of your ideology though, this is the opposite of your take on that Dem senator.

What Dem senator? And what part of my ideology is demonstrating a "duality?"

More interesting to witness than some dig, I don't much care because at least we agree. This message posed no threat nor needed to be apologized over.

To what message are you referring? The Young Republicans' messages?

 

[Risky Thicket]

I am a white guy with a southern accent that likes to fish, lifts weights, and am outdoorsy, so I "code" like a typical Republican even though I am not.

Me too. I get that a lot. People hear my accent and automatically assume I am bigot. Some can't wait to tell me a racist joke. Most are conservatives if not Republicans. They are shocked when I tell them I wasn't raised that way. It limits my circle of friends but that's fine with me.

 

[Ho Ho Ho!]

That's LITERALLY what the KKK did in private conversations first.

That's LITERALLY what the Nazis did in private conversations first.

Not saying the Young Republicans are gonna kill anyone but the private conversations among racists is where all the bad shit LITERALLY starts.

Wow

I'm just following your guys' lead regarding how such things should be handled. The private conversations that Jay Jones had were no biggie according to you, so congrats! You've persuaded me to come to your side on this type of issue! Great work!

 

[Gimmesometruth]

Miller isnt a Nazi

Thats fair, but no one in your party will stand up and call him out

The irony...

 

[Fletch]

It works better on the left than the right. The right bath in hypocrisy. It only makes them stronger. Whereas the Left can be shamed and held accountable, the Right cannot.

Really? What hypocrisy do I bathe in?

 

[Gatsby]

This is a really bad response from JD Vance. If you want to attack the shitbag Virginia guy, that's fine, just do that. But then there's no need to tie it to the Nazi college Republicans at all, and *certainly* no reason to use this to downplay what they said or describe it as "pearl clutching."

Just a terrible response. Try again, JD Vance. You only get one more shot.

If JD Vance doesn't course-correct right now, it should cast his presidential prospects into serious doubt. These are the people who will be staffers and policy-makers in a hypothetical future Vance Administration.

 

[Greenbeard]

Because the fact that they were said in a private conversation poses no threat to anyone. Privately saying things, even if they are horrible things, doesn't equate to someone posing a threat to anyone else.

I would argue that the rising leadership of a major American political party consisting of Nazis poses a threat to lots of people.

 

[Ho Ho Ho!]

I'm not voting for Jay Jones. I am not donating to his campaign. I am donating to other campaigns. Not his. What else should I do? Abandon all Democrats because of one idiot? Quick question. When Trump was shown to be totally Racist, we were told it was a long time ago and nothing should be read into it. When Hegseth was sidelined in the Army for Racist behavior and Tattoo's we were told it was just people who didn't like him and he wasn't racist at all. Sure he fired all the Minorities as soon as he was in charge, but that was just DEI. The list keeps going on and on and on everywhere we look. And we are constantly told it isn't a problem.

Today, Republicans are arguing to the supreme court that Minority Protections under the 14th Amendment and Voting Rights Act are unconstitutional. Black Republicans can't get elected in Republican Districts. But hey, the Republicans aren't racist. Trust us. We would know if they were racist. We love Minorities. You can tell by how many we don't hire.

Black Medal of Honor winners were scrubbed from websites. The Republicans aren't racist. Women who did amazing things are scrubbed from history on official websites. We aren't sexist either the Republicans scream. You guys keep insisting that you aren't racist while doing all sorts of things that make sense only if you are motivated by Racism.

I'm sorry that everything you don't like or agree with seems like it's racist to you. It's of course not accurate at all, but I'm sure it's very difficult to navigate a reality that feels that way to you.

 

[Gimmesometruth]

I'm just

You are whatabouting really hard, yer gunna pull a hammy if you keep going like this.

 

[Ho Ho Ho!]

I would argue that the rising leadership of a major American political party consisting of Nazis poses a threat to lots of people.

Calling everything and everyone you disagree with "Nazis" is working out so well. I can see why you're doubling down on this approach.

 

[Plasmaball]

Ah yes, the please don't expose our dirty laundry and hypocrisy.

We already addressed that the YRs in that chat saying awful tings should be rooted out and removed.

Unsurprisingly when we ask for reciprocal acts by the Democrats you dodge.

Thats really not the issue here. You want to treat these things as they are equal. They arent.
The dems dont have this history of racism and bigotry and liking Hitler like the right does.
If you go back to the 60s im just gonna block the conversation because thats lazy weak.
Sure Jones should step down. Just like the guy in NC who ran for governor and didnt step down, who none of you said should step down. See this game can be played all day long but you arent addressing the core issue here. Saying these folks should be fired and removed is just a bandaid.

You dont honestly care about what these people said. You care that they got caught. Thats it. I fully suspect there are thousands of these chat rooms that are just like this. I suspect people I know and debate politics are in them as well.

You wont actually distance yourself from these people. You'll let time "heal" and then accept them back in because they are a vote for power.

Or you're just trying to dodge what the younger Republicans talked about.

Bravo for protecting them.

 

[Gatsby]

The Nazi epithet is overused in American politics, but I think it's a fair label for the people saying "I love Hitler" and talking about gassing Jews.

 

[Ho Ho Ho!]

You are whatabouting really hard, yer gunna pull a hammy if you keep going like this.

Congratulations on convincing me that these kinds of private text conversations are no big deal. I applaud you for defending Jay Jones and showing me the light. As long as horrifyingly terrible things are said in the context of a private text conversation, it's completely okay.

I have you and a few others to thank for helping me come to the correct side of this issue. Cheers!
