Florida Republicans' group chat underscores the GOP's Nazi problem [View all]

The secretary of the Miami-Dade Republican Party ran a group chat where members fantasized about killing Black people, and he's refusing to resign.
Abel Carvajal started a WhatsApp group last fall for conservative students at Florida International University. Within three weeks it was overflowing with the n-word, used over 400 times, alongside antisemitic slurs, misogyny, and open worship of Nazi ideology.
These aren't anonymous trolls. The participants included Ian Valdes, president of FIU's Turning Point USA chapter, and Dariel Gonzalez, a former recruitment chair for FIU's College Republicans, the next generation of GOP leadership in one of America's most important swing counties.
