A Vermont state lawmaker has resigned over racist and antisemitic chat messages that circulated within the Young Republican political group, another substantial consequence in a scandal that on Friday saw the New York state Young Republicans’ charter revoked.
State senator Samuel Douglass, the only elected official known to have taken part in the leaked group chat exposed by Politico, resigned Friday over his participation.
In one exchange, Douglass replied to a message about a “very obese Indian woman” by saying: “She just didn’t bathe often.” In another, Douglass was said to have described how a Jewish person may have made a procedural error. His wife, Brianna Douglass, also on the chat, responded with an antisemitic remark, Politico reported.
Literal neckbeard
Resigned? This is the official Party platform.

Ah yes, he was “deeply sorry for the offense” caused by his comments, not for actually making those comments of course.
Usha Vance is probably like “This is fine. I don’t need to worry about all these racists. It’s not like fascists start eating their own with purity tests.”
But they’re just childrenSS being childrenSS. Gotta put these mfkers in an El Salvador prison so that they learn about life.
