In reply to the discussion: Kansas Young Republicans shut down after Politico report on racist, violent encrypted chat [View all]RVN VET71
(3,079 posts)41. Let me correct what Kolbach said and change it to what he actually meant
"The fact that these comments were so easily discovered and publicized is inexcusable. If you cannot keep your racism and sadism quiet and out of the public ear, I cannot afford to keep you on my staff."
The real crime of these douche bags, from the Republican perspective, is not that they are Nazi-light lynch fantasizers. Let's clear that up. The fact that they got caught with their hands on the rope slung over the tree bough is what is what infuriates the more savvy Republican operatives.
