JD Vance dismisses bipartisan outrage over racist and offensive Young Republican group chat

The public release of a Young Republican group chat that included racist language, jokes about rape and flippant commentary on gas chambers prompted bipartisan calls for those involved to be removed from or resign their positions.

Republican Vice President JD Vance, however, has weighed in several times to speak out against what he characterized as “pearl clutching” over the leaked messages.

“I really don’t want to us to grow up in a country where a kid telling a stupid joke, telling a very offensive, stupid joke is cause to ruin their lives,” Vance said.

The leaked group chat:

They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

When Luke Mosiman, the chair of the Arizona Young Republicans, asked if the New Yorkers in the chat were watching an NBA playoff game, Giunta responded, “I’d go to the zoo if I wanted to watch monkey play ball.” Giunta elsewhere refers to Black people as “the watermelon people.”

same shyt Tim Walz would say #BothSides

Keep in mind Kamala’s father is Jamaican so that makes him white.

It’s weird you used this to try to shyt on “both sides”, when there was a huge story of Los Angeles democrats literally doing the same thing

The overt racism on the tape drew the loudest condemnations, as you would expect after hearing an elected official mock and caricature a small child as a “parece changuito” (like a monkey) who deserves a “beatdown” and is used like an “accessory.” But the recording also illuminated, in the starkest way, how control of political representation is wielded like a blunt instrument to reward allies, punish foes and preserve or expand power.

It’s an anti black issue in this country, it’s everyone vs black people and the sooner some of you realize this, the better.

The difference is they were all fired or resigned immediately. No one, let alone the VPOTUS, was making excuses for it.

Alright but when we keep making of fun of hole in the neck and his corpse they better not say anything.

There’s no excuse for any of it, the point is don’t try to shyt on “both sides” when they’re all anti black at their core.

One will be in charge. That's inevitable. I'd rather the less anti Black party be in charge.

I’d rather no anti black anything be in charge, but I don’t think anyone would disagree with you on your position, as that wasn’t the point. Nobody is on the side of black people, that’s the main point as far as I’m concerned

this thread is about the republican vice president of the united states calling the outrage over racism "pearl clutching."

He’s an anti black fakkit like the rest, you shouldn’t try to add extras.

Exactly. I am so sick and tired of people trying to flatten these distinctions with this empty "both sides" bullshyt.
