Kai Schwemmer, College Republicans of America political director, made pro slavery, anti-sufferage, anti Jew statements

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/30/kai-schwemmer-college-republicans-livestream

Kai Schwemmer, the newly appointed College Republicans of America political director, has made racist, antisemitic, homophobic and sexist statements while espousing extremist rightwing views on abortion, a Guardian review of livestream recordings can reveal.

Schwemmer said he would accept a world in which slavery was legal if abortion was criminalised, describes himself as “very much an anti-universal suffrage guy” and accepts a supporter’s description of him as “our Mormon Nick Fuentes” – referring to the white nationalist influencer whose platform he streamed on for years.

The comments were made after Schwemmer’s return from a two-year Mormon mission to Argentina, a period he recently claimed had seen him undergo a “process of growth” that led him to abandon previous racist beliefs. Schwemmer had previously expressed extremist and bigoted views.

The streams, many of which are not publicly available but remain accessible behind a paywall on Schwemmer’s Gumroad page, also contain previously unreported material from his earlier broadcasts. In one, he walks a user through a sequence of antisemitic leading questions on the Omegle platform before directing her to Fuentes’s streaming site. In others, he claims gay men are “weaponizing” gyms “to give you Aids” and celebrates a DNA test he says proved “I’m 0% Jewish”.

And so do they. They know who they are, and they’re damn proud of it, fucking Nazis. Do you think somebody like Stephen Miller has a shred of shame left in them. They are such dedicated misogynists that they think anything that women approve of is weak. And anything that most women disapprove of is just what they wanna do. Because they never pissed off their mommies enough, sorry for the rant.

even a little bit. He's a Republican and that doesn't mean what it did when I was a child (many years ago).

This is the face they have chosen. It is who they are.

Those Republican relatives? The vast majority of them have been absorbed into the cult.

This young man is not a "nice kid". He's a blonde white kid who has been told he's the center of the universe and that has gone to his head.

I used to believe that Republicans wanted the same general things we did, a country where everyone thrives. That illusion was shattered decades ago. I was a naive child.

Now, I live by this: When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

In the same debate, the host read out a viewer’s question: “Do you believe married women have the right to vote? What about single women?”

Schwemmer responded: “I believe they currently have the right to vote. But I’m in favor of probably like a family voting thing. I think that’d probably be a better way to do it.”

“Family voting” is a Christian nationalist proposal to restrict the franchise to male heads of households, who would act as political representatives of their wives and children.

“I’m very much an anti-universal suffrage guy,” Schwemmer added. “I don’t think there’s a good defense for allowing people to vote who don’t take the time to return shopping carts. I think that’s a huge issue. Allowing those people the same leverage in your electoral system as a homeowner. That’s crazy to me.”
