Oct. 17 (UPI) -- New York Republican Party leaders on Friday voted unanimously to disband the state's Young Republicans chapter after a group chat involving some of their members included racist and antisemitic comments.
The 2,900 pages of messages posted on Telegram also involved Republicans in Arizona, Kansas and Vermont, according to a Politico report. The messages from January to August included calling for gas chambers, expressing love for Adolf Hitler and endorsing rape.
On Tuesday, the chairman of the Kansas Republican Party deactivated the Kansas organization.
New York's executive committee suspended the authorization of men and women 18 to 40 to operate in the state, Politico website and The Hill reported.
