Leaked messages from Young Republican leaders, revealed by Politico, unveil the disturbing reality of their private communications. The “RESTOREYR WAR ROOM” chat, encompassing thousands of messages, exposed participants calling opponents derogatory names, celebrating gas chambers, and making light of rape fantasies. These individuals, holding positions within the party structure, engaged in casual sadism, racism, and homophobia. While the public response has been swift, with dismissals and condemnations, the leaked logs expose the underlying cruelty and racial animus within the younger generation of Republican leaders.

Leaked chats expose Young Republicans peddling racism, fascism & Hitler worship in bombshell Politico report.
Okay, so, here’s the deal. A Politico report has dropped a real bomb, and it’s not a small one. We’re talking about a massive leak of private chats from Young Republicans, and let me tell you, the content is… well, it’s not pretty. These weren’t just casual conversations; we’re talking about blatant racism, open support for fascism, and even, wait for it, outright Hitler worship. And this isn’t coming from some random anonymous sources; it’s coming from people who were, or still are, leaders within the Young Republicans in several states.
The “RESTOREYR WAR ROOM” chat, a sprawling digital space with thousands of pages of messages, has exposed state YR leaders from places like New York, Kansas, Arizona, and Vermont. Names like William Hendrix, Bobby Walker, Peter Giunta, and Luke Mosiman – these are the individuals at the heart of this firestorm. They weren’t just strategizing about elections; they were tossing around comments about putting voters in gas chambers, mocking Asian and Latino people, and praising the architect of the Holocaust. We are talking about casually referencing Hitler in a positive light.
These aren’t just off-the-cuff remarks; they’re indicative of a deeply rooted and disturbing mindset. Giunta, for instance, wrote, “Everyone who votes no is going to the gas chamber … Great, I love Hitler.” Joe Maligno, the general counsel for the New York Young Republicans, chimed in with a flippant comment about the gas chambers, and Kaykaty responded by saying she was “ready to watch people burn now.” These aren’t the kind of comments you’d expect from anyone, let alone people holding positions of leadership within a political organization. Adding to the abhorrent nature of the dialogue, Mosiman wrote about the sexual relations between the Spanish and women in America, to which others then joined in on the mocking and offensive commentary.
And let’s not forget the open mockery of ethnic groups. The chats were rife with racist slurs and disparaging remarks about various communities. Walker, referencing his Italian heritage, wrote something that was then returned with a slurred comment targeting a specific ethnic group. Mosiman’s comments and Dwyer’s response, along with Walker’s, paint a picture of an environment where such hateful speech was not only tolerated but actively encouraged. The casual, almost gleeful way they discussed such sensitive and offensive topics is truly jarring.
The reaction to this, or the lack thereof, is also worth noting. There’s a sense of, “Well, what did you expect?” This isn’t exactly breaking news to a lot of people. For many, this confirms what they’ve suspected for a long time: that there’s a significant faction within the Republican Party that either actively embraces these hateful ideologies or, at the very least, turns a blind eye to them. The boldness with which these Young Republicans expressed their views, seemingly without fear of repercussions, speaks volumes. It’s almost as though they felt entitled to their views, and that their position would offer protections.
This raises some serious questions about the future of the Republican Party, and also highlights the kind of people who are drawn to it. The “cringe edgelord” comments are really spot on. The fact that many of these individuals are seemingly incapable of conducting themselves in a remotely mature or responsible manner should give us all pause. It’s the kind of behavior you might expect in a poorly moderated online forum, not from people who are supposed to be shaping the future of a political party.
Of course, there will be those who dismiss this as a few bad apples, a few fringe elements. But when these views are expressed by leaders within an organization, it’s hard to sweep them under the rug. The fact that Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA has been partnering with these types of organizations on campuses also highlights the problem and the potential for the expansion of such rhetoric. The fact is, there is a growing sense that the Republican Party is becoming the party of fascism and racism, and stories like this only reinforce that perception.
It’s hard to imagine what the response would be if a similar situation had emerged from a group of Young Democrats. The media firestorm would be intense. The calls for resignations would be deafening. But the reaction here is likely to be much more muted. And that, in itself, is a sign of how far things have shifted in this country. The ability to say things like “Sex is gay” or embrace violent ideologies, and then face zero repercussions says a lot.
Ultimately, this story is a wake-up call. It’s a reminder that we can’t afford to be complacent about the rise of hateful ideologies. We need to be vigilant, and we need to hold those who espouse these views accountable. We can’t allow this kind of behavior to become normalized or become a standard. If not, we’re all in deep trouble.
