It's that they are posting deplorable things in this secret group chat.

And it seems that some of the people in that group chat might have been a bit older, not kids, as he continued to characterize it.

And there might have even been elected officials who were in this group chat.

I don't know.

My suspicion is that a lot of this is precisely what you would expect to happen in these clandestine signal groups, like people just kind of talking, shit talking and doing all sorts of other locker room talk.

Maybe some of these people have authentically nefarious, awful beliefs.

But what you can say in a context like that, if you are J.D.

Vance, one of the standard bearers of the Republican Party, a party that does have some material challenges with respect to the actual racist sentiments that are bubbling up.

in our polity right now.

Totally disagree.

I think I think you are right that rate overt race essentialism is the unique kind of bailiwick of Democrats right now.

But there is a version of that that has become more prominent on the right.

Nick Fuentes, who we talked about the other day, who has been on the right.

I think he would characterize himself that way.

At a minimum, he's kind of in orbit around the right.

And I wouldn't say that.

I don't think that's true.

keep going.

I don't know how, I don't know how we want to position him, but, but I will, let me offer this in terms of what JD could have said, right?

JD could have said, the issue here is that the people in this group were saying deplorable things and the deplorable things that they were saying.
