Vermont Gov. Phil Scott (R) called on a state senator to resign after a Politico report on a Young Republican group chat. “The hateful statements made in this group chat are disgusting and unacceptable. The vile, racist, bigoted, and antisemitic dialogue that has been reported is deeply disturbing. There is simply no excuse for it,” Scott said in a Tuesday statement.

“Those involved should resign from their roles immediately and leave the Republican party – including Vermont State Senator Sam Douglass,” he added. According to the Politico report, Vermont state Sen. Samuel Douglass (R) was one of the members of a Telegram chat that featured racist, antisemitic and violent discussions.

When one chat member discussed a friend of other chatters being in a relationship with “this very obese Indian woman for a period of time,” another replied, calling the woman “not Indian,” according to the Politico report. “She just didn’t bathe often,” Douglass responded, according to Politico.

The messages obtained by Politico spanned for more than seven months and were part of a chat among Young Republican leaders in New York, Kansas, Arizona and Vermont.

It's EXACTLY how the GOP won office. NOT "Price of eggs", "Kitchen table issues", or "Working class".

As I have posted before, when you repeatedly expose it and call them on it, members of their party WILL recoil, and will go on the defensive. They must be continually put on the defensive.
