Republican Senator Faces Resignation Calls After Racist Messages Emerge
A Republican state senator from Orleans County, Samuel Douglass, is facing calls for his resignation after a Politico report revealed his participation in a racist text chat with members of Young Republican chapters from multiple states. The chat, hosted on Telegram, included antisemitic and racist remarks, which led to condemnation from prominent Republican figures, including Governor Phil Scott and other state party leaders. The group chat, which involved other young Republicans from multiple states, contained hundreds of racist slurs. Douglass has not yet responded to requests for comment.
