What happens when young Republican leaders' leaked Telegram chats reveal racist Hitler jokes and VP JD Vance dodges condemnation? On this riveting episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, on day 15 of the government shutdown, Politico exposes 2,900 pages of vile young GOP Telegram chats—racist, anti-Semitic, sexist trash like gas chamber jokes and N-word slurs—while plotting Trump's endorsement. JD Vance deflects instead of condemning, as Marjorie Taylor Greene rebels in ways unpacked in my Red Letter exclusive on her fury against the GOP— https://www.tarapalmeri.com/p/hell-hath-no-fury-marjorie-taylor. Betches co-founder Sami Sage joins to unpack Vance's dodge, shutdown fallout (federal firings, military families at food banks, NYC subway grants cut), Pete Hegseth's Pentagon press paranoia, and Marjorie Taylor Greene's rebellion—blasting deportations, demanding Obamacare subsidies, calling GOP men weak for sidelining women. Grudge or 2028 MAGA play? Why won't Republicans condemn their own toxic chats—what's the real strategy? Drop your take below.
