Heather Cox Richardson 10/14/25 YOUNG REPUBLICANS THINK THERE IS PRIVACY ONLINE REVEAL THEIR HATE Today, Jason Beeferman and Emily Ngo of Politico reported on 2,900 pages of messages exchanged on the messaging app Telegram between leaders of the hardline pro-Trump factions of Young Republican groups in New York, Kansas, Arizona, and Vermont. 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].”
