In reply to the discussion: Kansas Young Republicans shut down after Politico report on racist, violent encrypted chat [View all]SpankMe
(3,621 posts)31. Don't forget - young/college Republicans were Charlie Kirk's target audience
They're also his largest base of disciples. I can't escape the possibility that Kirk's spirit flows through these texts.
Does anyone believe that this kind of behavior is limited to this one group of young 'Pubs in Kansas? I'd like to see text exchanges from college/young Republicans in Idaho, Mississippi and Texas.
