In a scandal that somehow manages to surprise no one and everyone simultaneously, the New York Young Republicans are scrambling for damage control after screenshots leaked from a private group chat titled “I ❤️ Hitler.”
The chat, reportedly meant for “edgy humor,” instead revealed a digital cesspool of swastika memes, bad history takes, and one member asking if Mussolini “had a podcast.” Within hours, half the organization resigned, while the other half insisted it was “ironic,” before also resigning.
A spokesperson, now the group’s only remaining member, promised “a full investigation into who taught these kids how to use Telegram.” Meanwhile, the national GOP quietly issued a statement reminding everyone that “Hitler was, in fact, bad,” which experts say is “a low but necessary bar.”
The group’s next event, tentatively titled “Rebranding 101,” has been postponed indefinitely.
