美媒曝光：2900多页，内容令人震惊……

据美国政治新闻网（Politico）14日报道，全美多地青年共和党组织领导人私下运营的Telegram群组“重建青年共和党战情室”（RESTOREYR WAR ROOM）遭到泄露。数千条聊天记录显示，这些年轻的共和党骨干在私聊中公然拿毒气室、非裔美国人甚至强奸开玩笑，其言辞极端、充满仇恨。

Politico on Tuesday revealed 2,900 pages of leaked chats from a Telegram group chat involving young Republican leaders in the United States. The chats included racist and offensive language.

2900多页聊天记录曝光

报道指出，这些泄露的聊天记录横跨今年1月至8月，共超过2900页，参与者包括纽约州、堪萨斯州、亚利桑那州和佛蒙特州等地的青年共和党领导人，其中不少人仍在政府或党务系统任职。

The 2,900 pages of chats, shared among a dozen millennial and Gen Z Republicans between early January and mid-August, chronicle their campaign to seize control of the national Young Republican organization on a hardline pro-Donald Trump platform.

Many of the chat members already work inside government or party politics, and one serves as a state senator.

聊天中，堪萨斯州青年共和党联合会副主席威廉·亨德里克斯（William Hendrix）十多次使用了“黑鬼”等侮辱性词汇。统计显示，“弱智”等带有辱骂性的词语在群聊中出现超过251次。

在一条6月发送的消息中，时任纽约州青年共和党联合会主席彼得·吉恩塔（Peter Giunta）写道：“所有投反对票的人都会被送进毒气室。”“我要创造一些人类已知的最厉害的肉体折磨方法。我们只要真正的信徒。”

纽约州青年共和党全国委员会成员安妮·凯卡蒂（Annie Kaykaty）则回复：“我现在已经准备好看着人们燃烧了。”

Peter Giunta, who at the time was chair of the same organization, wrote in a message sent in June that "everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.""I am going to create some of the greatest physiological torture methods known to man. We only want true believers,” he continued.

"I'm ready to watch people burn now," Annie Kaykaty, New York's national committee member, said.

群聊充斥极端、反犹与纳粹崇拜言论

泄露的内容显示，种族歧视、反犹太言论和暴力幻想在群组中被视为日常玩笑。

堪萨斯州青年共和党主席亚历克斯·德怀尔（Alex Dwyer）在一条消息中告诉吉恩塔，密歇根州一名青年共和党成员承诺“将投票选出最右翼的人”来领导全国青年共和党联合会。吉恩塔随即回应：“太棒了。我爱希特勒。”

In another exchange, Dwyer, the Kansas' chair, informs Giunta that one of Michigan's Young Republicans promised him the group "will vote for the most right wing person" to lead the national organization.

"Great. I love Hitler," Giunta responded.

此外，群聊成员还使用数字“1488”作为暗号，该数字代表着白人至上主义者对希特勒的崇拜。

当事人被停职

党内高层表态谴责

事件曝光后，部分涉事成员已遭到处分或辞退。亨德里克斯已被堪萨斯州检察长办公室解雇，另有成员的工作机会被撤回。

Since Politico began making inquiries, one member of the group chat is no longer employed at their job and another's job offer was rescinded.

共和党参议院少数党领袖罗布·奥特 （Rob Ortt）公开表示：“我对这些种族主义、反犹和厌女言论感到震惊与厌恶，这种行为在我们的党内及公共生活中毫无立足之地。”

Prominent New York Republicans, including state Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt, have denounced the chat. In a statement, Ortt called for members of the chat to resign.

"I was shocked and disgusted to learn about the racist, anti-Semitic, and misogynistic comments attributed to members of the New York State Young Republicans," Ortt said. "This behavior is indefensible and has no place in our party or anywhere in public life."

吉恩塔随后发表声明，称聊天内容“被断章取义或恶意篡改”，但仍为“冒犯性和不可原谅的言辞”道歉。他说：“我对这些言语深表歉意，并将承担全部责任。”

Despite his allusions to infighting, Giunta still apologized. "I am so sorry to those offended by the insensitive and inexcusable language found within the more than 28,000 messages of a private group chat that I created during my campaign to lead the Young Republicans," he said.

"While I take complete responsibility, I have had no way of verifying their accuracy and am deeply concerned that the message logs in question may have been deceptively doctored."

政治新闻网指出，这些聊天记录揭示了一种令人担忧的党内文化：带有种族主义、反犹太主义和暴力色彩的言论在部分青年共和党群体中被公开表达、互相取乐，且不再那么被视为禁忌。

Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party's next leaders.

正如纽约州一位青年共和党人鲍比·沃克（Bobby Walker）在群中所言：“如果我们的聊天记录被泄露出去，我们就彻底完了。”

Members of the chat occasionally appeared to be aware of its toxicity and even made remarks that considered the possibility someone outside their tight-knit group could view it. Walker seemed to consider that possibility the most. "If we ever had a leak of this chat we would be cooked fr fr," he wrote.

如今，这句“玩笑”已成现实。
