A Donald Trump-appointed official accused of leaking hundreds of racist, private text messages sent by the party’s youngest leaders is believed to have acted after a major bust-up over a photo-op with the president.
Wax, the former president of the New York Young Republican Club, is under fire despite not being in the chat at all. Multiple sources with knowledge of the matter told the Daily Beast that the 31-year-old obtained and leaked the messages to settle a longstanding feud with Peter Giunta, the former chair of the New York State Republican Club, who was implicated in the report.
Sources close to Giunta told the Daily Beast that “a miscommunication” resulted in Wax being left out of the photo with Trump, for which he blamed Giunta, 31.
It wasn’t until this year—while Giunta was running on a pro-Trump slate to lead the Young Republican National Federation—that he discovered Wax had never fully recovered from the incident, and was allegedly enacting revenge through support for Giunta’s opponent, Hayden Padgett.
“It’s just stupidity at this point,” the source said. “It’s a race, a race to see who destroys who first. And it’s just really disgusting.”
But those close to Wax, who declined to comment for this story, vehemently denied he was the leaker and insisted he was made the fall guy because of his feud with Giunta.
These were adults. Not young at all. Just not seniors like congress.
it’s easy to call 30 and 40 year olds ‘young republicans’ because you have lich mcconnell fucking up the averages
These people don’t even like each other, they’re just united by hate, and they wanna “fix” the country? lolz.
Which can only end in failure because none of them are smart enough to work together.
“It’s a race, a race to see who destroys who first. And it’s just really disgusting.”
Well, racists really are obsessed with races.
Well, except these particular racists were surely not interested in, let alone obsessed with running any physical races themselves, according to the pictures I’ve seen.
maybe a race to the buffet
I might be out of the loop, but they use telegram? lol
"It’s just stupidity at this point,”
You’ve got that right.
Fucking children
Both interpretations.
I guess Vance was right. These really are children.
Everyone is 12, apparently.
I’m really getting on board with this theory, though 12 is very generous for some people.
I’m a middle school ESL teacher in the United States, and today I was talking with my supervisor about what the average US score would be on the test that my kids have to take every year. The conclusion was definitely that the majority of the United States would not pass the test to be deemed proficient in English.
This is how all fascist regimes eventually end, toppled through infighting. We just have to resist long enough for them to cannibalize each other.
No, world war 2 was not won by people waiting around…
or even by people taking action…

That is insanely dumb to pretend the war efforts were pointless and Hitler totally would’ve failed to make the world far worse without resistance…
it’s nations that do war. people take action. in this case, the people who took action failed to eliminate hitler. try clicking the link and know what you’re talking about before calling people dumb
People weren’t involved in the war? The war had no baring on the outcome?
You’re just sounding more and more obstinate than correct.
look, if you insist on “people taking action” being exactly the same as “two or more countries engage in total war” then go ahead. you’re the only one who had a problem with the comment, so i’m not worried about it
Nowhere did I say they were the same.
I’m not saying wait. I said resist. Slow them down, frustrate them, make their efforts difficult and result in small gains.
Yup, and I’d very much rather not have to wait 40 years like it took for Falange in Spain to fall apart.
The funny part is that this group was in trouble for weeks after one of them stepped down amid allegations of not paying the bills.
Stiffing contractors, racism, infighting. It’s basically Trump in a nutshell.
You found another Leopard eating someone’s face, lmao:
“He paid a deposit, and we never got the rest of the money, and we didn’t go after him because it’s a shame that he’s a Republican and he doesn’t pay,” said a member of the National Women’s Republican Club who was involved in the matter and was granted anonymity because she fears retribution from fellow Republicans. “He’s acting like a goddamn Democrat, takes everybody’s money and spends it, but doesn’t pay his bills.”
First of all, I’m not positive of who the Leopard is? They’re all just eating each other.
Lastly, how did this dude get all of those chats? He wasn’t on them.
They’re all just eating each other.
Yeah, it is cannibalism.
It’s like in Pitch Black when the aliens have eaten all the other life on the planet and start eating each other
Caught my obscure reference of the day with this one 👍
“Hey bro, good thing you’re not [insert extreme racism]. Anyway, my phone died. Can I borrow yours for a minute?”
Maybe, but Wax works for the trump admin. They also had DOGE. Just saying.
There’s really no way to wholly prove anything of that sort as a layperson, so I won’t bother speculating on it. If the chats appear even slightly peculiar, as though rendered elsewhere, you might have something to point to, but I haven’t even looked at the actual leak. Start there, if you want to investigate. Shooting an email to the journalist that broke the story might be useful
That’s why I mention it here, there are a shit ton of journalists that check in on Lemmy. If they feel like looking into it, they will.
what a bunch of weak cowardly fucking babies
Offensive to babies!
When Vicki Schmidt, the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Kansas, publicly called on two Kansas Republicans whose hateful comments were revealed to step down from the state’s branch of Young Republicans, she was blasted by X user Aidan, who is reportedly a friend of Giunta.
“I promise you, people like you have done everything to tarnish our reputation. Alex was your last hope,” he wrote, adding: “Have fun being another stupid b**ch that ran for governor and lost. I’m not rooting for you.”

lol. lmao.
YES! This is how villain organizations are supposed to work! For once it wasn’t sheer incompetence.
Taking out the competition like a villain boss. Maybe other
villainsRepublicans can learn a thing or two from this guy!It takes a strong person to lift those around them up and be seen as the best option. It’s easier to smear those around them to make themselves look a better alternative.
Sounds like they have learned how to take the easy path from watching our elections over the years
