Meet the Master Race [View all]

An insane GOP Telegram chat ripped off the mask.

Rick Wilson

This week’s leak of an internal Young Republican Telegram channel wasn’t some anonymous 4chan cesspit or a fever swamp thread from rando incel with anime avatars.

It was a private chat populated by state and national elite Young Republican leaders, men and women in their 20s and 30s already working in politics, already drawing government paychecks, already courting donors and staffing offices, casually swapping “I love Hitler” riffs, Holocaust gags, rape “jokes,” and racist slurs like they’re passing canapé trays at a fundraiser.

Let’s be absolutely, painfully clear about what landed: thousands of messages across months, not a stray outburst or two. This is just one of hundreds of Telegram channels, Signal chats, Discord groups, and email chains with this kind of tone and moral filth.

Names in this chat you’d find on state party org charts and legislative payrolls show up again and again, marinating in bile. There’s Peter Giunta; until yesterday a rising New York YR figure and a legislative chief of staff, talking about sending internal opponents to the gas chamber.
