Leaders of Young Republican groups have had their chats leaked. They referred to Black people as monkeys, mused about putting opponents in gas chambers, talked about raping their enemies/driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Our future leaders. How MAGA.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.
