The Fort Hays State University College Republicans issued a statement condemning Kansas Young Republicans for sending texts with violent, racist and antisemitic rhetoric.
The student-led group posted the following on its Instagram page:
"As conservatives, we believe in personal responsibility, respect, and the dignity of every person. The hateful, antisemitic, racist, and violent language seen in recent messages does not represent our values or our movement. There’s no room for hate in the Republican Party — or anywhere in America. FHSU College Republicans formally denounces Kansas Young Republicans and any associated groups."
Kansas Young Republicans chairman Alex Dwyer and vice chair William Hendrix took part in the Telegram group chat, which also included references to white supremacy and suppression of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
On Tuesday, the chairman of the Kansas Republican Party said the Politico article disclosing the commentary prompted immediate deactivation of the Kansas Young Republicans organization.
