Members of the Young Republican Federation, aged 24-31, were exposed for using hateful rhetoric in a group chat.
The chat, dubbed the "I Love Hitler" chat, included racist, sexist, and xenophobic language, with over 251 instances of derogatory words.
Black people were referred to as "monkeys" and "watermelon people", and group members suggested that political rivals should be placed in gas chambers or sexually assaulted.
The Young Republican National Federation condemned the messages as "disgraceful [and] unbecoming of any Republican", resulting in several Young Republicans being fired from their posts.
