College Republican Group Implodes Over Gross Kanye-Inspired Stunt
A college Republican group in small-town Wisconsin is in turmoil after its members scrawled racist, antisemitic chalk messages around campus, then gloated about it on Instagram, leading the group’s “disgusted” president to resign in protest.
On Tuesday, the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse’s College Republicans met to write chalk messages around campus that reflected issues that were important to its members, the university paper The Racquet Press reported. But in images that were posted to the group’s Instagram page and then deleted, members plastered a series of offensive messages, including one supporting Kanye West in the wake of his diatribes against Jewish people and the Black Lives Matter movement.
“Kanye is right. Def-con III,” one message in orange read, according to photos of messages posted on Twitter by the College Democrats. It appeared to mimic the Oct. 8 tweet that got West banned from Twitter, in which he said he was “going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE” and claimed he “can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew.”
Other messages decried COVID vaccines, mocked support for the LGBTQ+ community with a demand for a “Straight/CIS night,” and boosted a racist pro-gun theory about violence in Chicago’s Black communities.

Can't believe this has to be said but Kanye West should not be a role model for anyone.
