I love that Elise stefanik’s face is attached to this. These people campaigned for her and honored her at their events. The queen of “combatting campus antisemitism” was staffed by self avowed hitler lovers. She should be held accountable.

Feels like an appropriate day to read @andykroll.bsky.social's profile of the man engineering the push to make Trump into a de facto king:

Russell Vought, Trump’s Shadow President

When college kids publicly say "Israel's war on Gaza is bad" that is full-blown anti-Semitism that requires the federal government to crack down on all colleges.

When Young Republicans in their 20s and 30s privately praise Hitler and "joke" about the Holocaust, well, that's just freedom baby.

Do you know how racist you have to be to be racist in Vermont?! The only black people that man sees are fictional characters on TV and he's still mad.

But let anyone marginally liberal say anything neutral to critical about rural areas, the south, or anything coded conservative and it’s a crisis of civility

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

EXCLUSIVE: Capitol Police are investigating a swastika found in GOP Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

“The content of that image does not reflect the values or standards of this office, my staff, or myself, and I condemn it in the strongest terms," Taylor said in a statement.

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”
