Political leaders on both sides of the aisle have swiftly moved to denounce Sen. Sam Douglass’ remarks and call for his resignation.

Gov. Phil Scott called for state Sen. Sam Douglass to resign on Tuesday after reporting by Politico revealed remarks he made in a leaked national Young Republicans group chat. Scott, a Republican, said the comments in the group chat — which reportedly included derogatory language and slurs — were “disgusting and unacceptable.”

Republican leaders of both chambers of the Vermont Legislature also swiftly echoed Scott’s statement, calling the comments “unacceptable and deeply disturbing.” The statement signed by Senate Minority Leader Scott Beck, R-Caledonia, and House Minority Leader Rep. Pattie McCoy, R-Poultney, and the two assistant leaders, Sen. Brian Collamore, R-Rutland, and Rep. Casey Toof, R-St. Albans Town, concluded saying, “It is time for Sen. Douglass to step away from his position as a Vermont Senator and resign.”
