Two more members of a Young Republican group chat strewn with racist epithets and hateful jokes stepped down from their jobs Tuesday after POLITICO published an exclusive report on the Telegram exchanges.
Peter Giunta’s time working with New York Assemblymember Mike Reilly “has ended,” the Republican lawmaker said. Giunta served as chair of the New York State Young Republicans when the chat took place. Joseph Maligno, who previously identified himself as the general counsel for that group, is no longer an employee of the New York State Unified Court System, a courts spokesperson confirmed.
Another chat member, Vermont state Senator Sam Douglass, faced mounting calls for his resignation as well, including from the state’s Gov. Phil Scott, a Republican, and Douglass’fellow Republican lawmakers, who called his statements “deeply disturbing.”
This won’t have the effect you people think it will.
All this will do is consolidate people with similar beliefs and give them less exposure to opposition.
But hey, it makes you feel good about yourself so I guess that counts for something, right?

Morons.
So wait, what is your take here? Like what response should their be to this leak?
Consolidate people with similar beliefs? So like, a political party? Less exposure, like a private group chat?
Don’t hold people accountable for their actions because something something they will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Got it.
And you keep going until you get to the candy center, the hard core.
The moron gives up.
