In a statement, New York's Republican committee said its leaders
had voted unanimously to suspend the authorization of the New
York State Young Republicans to operate at a statewide level.
The statewide Republican committee said the Young Republican
group could be reconstituted at a later date.
“The Young Republicans was already grossly mismanaged, and vile
language of the sort made in the group chat has no place in our
party or its subsidiary organizations,” said NYGOP Chair Ed Cox.
The decision came days after Politico released exchanges from a
Telegram conversation between leaders and members of the Young
Republican National Federation and some of its affiliates in New
York, Kansas, Arizona and Vermont.
The messages have drawn heavy criticism from Republicans and
Democrats. The Young Republican National Federation, which is
the GOP’s political organization for Republicans between 18 and
40, has said it was “appalled” by the messages.
U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, a New York Republican who is eyeing a
run for governor next year, has called for those involved to
step down.
