A while ago a few kids sent a some private locker-room messages to eachother. So nothing, basically. But the world seems to have gone mad.
Republican leaders are responding to a Politico report that exposed racist messages shared by Young Republican organizations in Kansas, New York, Arizona and Vermont. The group chat conversations included slurs against gay people and Black people, as well as references to Nazi and white supremacist ideology. The national Young Republicans group called on those involved to resign.
There's one notable exception. Vice President JD Vance went on "The Charlie Kirk Show" to kind of downplay how serious these revelations were.
JD VANCE: The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys. They tell edgy, offensive jokes. Like, that's what kids do. And I really don't want 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.
Jokes are very important.
