Republican officials caught using racist slurs, genocide fantasies in group chats: report
A newly revealed series of group chats obtained by The Floridian shows Republican officials in Miami fantasizing about genocide and spamming racial slurs.
"In a disturbing series of group chat obtained by The Floridian, Miami GOP Secretary Abel Alexander Carvajal ran a group chat in which the N-word was used over 200 times and members celebrated the removal of an African-American activist from the FIU College Republicans," said the report. "Carvajal’s chat, titled 'Uber R------ Yapping Inc.,' gives a shocking glimpse into the GOP’s younger element of college students who espouse hateful ideas. Even more concerning are the chat’s members: Carvajal, who is Secretary of the Miami-Dade GOP; Dariel Gonzalez, who is the FIU College Republicans Membership Director; and Ian Valdes, the FIU Turning Point chapter president."
"One portion of the chat references an African-American student named 'Sandra,' whose real name has been changed to protect her identity. Sandra left the FIU College Republicans after being subjected to racial slurs," said the report. "'What happened to her?' asks one participant. 'William called her a n----- so she left,' responds Dariel Gonzalez."
In another segment of the chat, the person identified as "William" spammed fantasies about killing and mutilating Black people in various ways, including "crucify filthy blacks," "curb stomp pregnant black n------," "exterminate n------ in the gas chamber," "feed n------ to alligators," "stomp n----- skulls with steel toed boots," and "drown n------ in fried chicken grease."
"For months, Carvajal created and served as the administrator of the chat," said the report. "Many times he participated in the conversations. At no point did Carvajal close the chat or attempt to calm the narrative. He labeled his own control of the chat as 'MaoTze Abel,' a joking reference to dictator Mao Zedong."
These revelations come after a similar major scandal late last year, when Telegram chats leaked from the Young Republicans, in which some members spoke admiringly of slavery and Adolf Hitler, called Black people monkeys and "watermelon people," and fantasized about raping or gassing their enemies. A number of GOP political consultants and even a state legislator in Vermont were implicated in this chat.
