The Florida Democratic Party Calls on RNC to Denounce Hateful Speech in GOP Chat Leak

The Florida Democratic Party Chair, Nikki Fried, denounced the bigoted, hateful remarks in a private chat among young GOP members, as reported by Politico.

“These remarks are not isolated; they reflect a dangerous undercurrent that undermines our democracy. There is no excuse for this kind of vile, antisemitic, racist, misogynistic hate. The Republican National Committee must immediately condemn these comments and take action. Joe Gruters and Evan Power need to denounce this behavior publicly and make clear that racism and antisemitism have no place in their party.”

Florida has seen too much division and extremism. Silence from Republican leadership isn’t just cowardly, it’s complicity.
