Republican Vermont state Senator Sam Douglass, a 27 year-old man and not a “college” kid like JD Vance claimed last week, announced his resignation Friday, effective Monday, following the leak of a group chat of national Young Republicans in which the participants had expressed their love for Adolf Hitler, rape, racial slurs, genocide, and in general checked a lot of boxes of how the GOP is perceived by libs, SevenDaysVT reports. In the thread, leaked to Politico last week by extreme cultist former New York City Young Republicans chair-turned-Trump Regime official Gavin Wax, Douglass wrote “She just didn’t bathe often,” in reply to another user who had badmouthed a “very obese Indian woman,” known to them. In another exchange, Douglass mentioned a procedural error by a Jewish colleague to which his wife, Brianna Douglass, also in the chat group, wrote “I was about to say you’re giving nationals [too] much credit and expecting the Jew to be honest.”
Douglass, once seen as an up-and-comer in the Green Mountain State’s GOP, had initially resisted calls to hang it up but once the state party and Governor Phil Scott – who’s basically a Democrat anyway – stepped in, the neckbearded state legislator caved, writing “if my Governor asks me to do something, I will act, because I believe in what he’s trying to do for Vermont,” in his announcement.
That part came after when Douglass tried to minimize what he had personally wrote in the group chat which, on balance, was not as bad as the lines about “watermelon people” and the pro-rape “jokes.” Obviously if Sam had written something antisemitic about the Jewish person that would’ve been printed verbatim along with his wife’s response. And the “She just didn’t bathe often” – the sole message from him in the coverage of the chat group – doesn’t in and of itself scream racism as he could’ve said the same thing if this person had been named. But that Douglass never wrote “You guys are fucking sick and this is exactly why the libtards call Republicans hateful, racist freaks,” and left the chat the first time someone posted a slur – let alone apologize for his wife and announce he was looking to get her into therapy – says far more than a single five-word message could have.
