Miami-Dade GOP secretary resigns weeks after racist group chat comes to light

A Miami-Dade Republican Party official resigned Monday and filed a federal First Amendment lawsuit against Florida International University, nearly three weeks after the racist and slur-filled content of a group chat he created for campus conservatives last fall became public.

Carvajal created a WhatsApp group for young conservatives last fall and within three weeks it was filled with racist slurs, someone wrote dozens of ways of violently killing Black people and the chat was renamed after what one member described as “Nazi heaven,” according to chat logs obtained by the Herald.

In a letter to the party’s executive committee that Carvajal posted on social media, he apologized for “this situation,” reiterating that he did not post or see the most offensive content in the chat. Group chat logs obtained by the Herald show that Carvajal didn’t explicitly use the n-word like others in the chat. He did, however, use words that appeared similar to racist slurs — including variations of slurs referring to Black women and children — but with the “n” replaced with an “m” at the beginning of the words.

It is an article with alot of details. And it appears that this anger has more to do with the leakage of the information than the content.

Following his resignation, Carvajal released a press release announcing that he is suing Florida International University and its president, Jeanette M. Nuñez, claiming
that his first-amendment were violated for participating in the "off-campus, private group chat that involved speech protected by the First Amendment."

They all drop N Bombs in private, that's the GOP, that's their core belief.
