A leaked Telegram chat from prominent young GOP operatives reveals racist and derogatory messages. The “RESTOREYR WAR ROOM” conversation, published by Politico, features members including former NY State Young Republican Club president Peter Giunta, who used racial slurs like “watermelon people” and made anti-Semitic comments. Several users apologized for their words, blaming the leak on a “year-long character assassination.” However, some expressed concern about potential backlash. The chat highlights the deep-seated racism within certain GOP circles.
