3. 'White House Shrugs Off Leaked Chats from Young Republicans Praising Hitler'
Thu Oct 16, 2025, 07:16 AM
Thursday

"J.D. Vance is downplaying a leak of thousands of leaked messages from Young Republican leaders that contained racist and offensive language...the Vice President brushed off the messages, turning instead to criticize Democratic Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones, who recently came under fire for messages he sent in 2022, in which he proposed a hypothetical scenario where he would shoot Todd Gilbert, then the Republican Speaker of the House, and wished that Gilbert’s children would be harmed."

“ 'This is far worse than anything said in a college group chat, and the guy who said it could become the AG of Virginia,' Vance said in his social media post, referring to Jones. 'I refuse to join the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence.' ”
