No sooner has a temporary peace been declared in the Middle East than America has not one but two leaked text scandals to chew over. Amazing. Now, almost no matter what is in the leaked text, a leaked text scandal is a fun scandal because it's inherently salacious. People text under the false presumption that what they're writing is private. And so they relax. They're unguarded. And very often, however, they're wrong and those texts come out. It's happened to me. And what you learn when you read them is what people are saying and presumably thinking in private. So it's kind of a window into a person's private life. It's very much like a sex tape and it's irresistible. Everybody loves a leaked text scandal.
What's interesting, really, is... Are they meaningful? Does it actually tell you something about the person who's texting? Well, that all depends on the context. There are plenty of things you text throughout the course of a day if you're an average American that really don't reflect a lot about who you really are or what you really think, much less what you intend to do. If you text, that girl's so hot. Do you plan to sleep with her? Maybe, maybe not. In fact, likely not. But the presumption to many readers is that you do. So it's misleading inherently. If you say something really ugly, does that mean you're an ugly person? Well, that all depends. How vehemently did you say it? Did you repeat it? Did you explain why you thought it?
Again, context really matters. And leaked text can be grossly unfair and misleading to the person from whom they're leaked because they don't actually reveal the character of the texter. And moreover, by the way, who wants to be reduced to his ugliest text? Not many of us. But they're still interesting and they can reveal a lot about the people who sent them. So let's go in order through the details of the two leaked text scandals now roiling this country. Because not simply the text, but the response to the text tells you a lot about the state of American politics and particularly about the differences between the two major parties in how they responded. So first up, the Republican scandal. And it comes to us from Telegram.
which is a supposedly pretty secure texting app, and we're going to read some of them. So these kids were texting to each other. These are young Republicans texting each other on a group chat on Telegram that somehow wound up on Politico, and they are saying things like this. They're referring to African Americans as, quote, the watermelon people. Here's someone else saying that, and we're quoting, everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber. And finally, someone on the group text called someone, and I'm quoting now, retarded. So these are young Republicans from across the country texting each other. They are young men. And you might think at first glance that these are kind of young men texts.
These are mildly or in some cases more than mildly edgy. And they're kind of showing off to each other. So how bad is this? Well, you probably wouldn't say it at Thanksgiving dinner. But is it a death penalty offense? Well, let's check in with some of the guardians of public morals on the Republican side. First up, this is a statement from the Young Republicans, National Young Republican Board of Directors. And we have no idea who these people are, but you can imagine affluent, unmarried gentlemen shepherding these young Republicans through their political growth. I'm not saying they need FBI background checks, but you can just sort of imagine in your mind who these guys are. And we're assuming they're guys, of course they are.
We're quoting, this is their response to these naughty texts leaked to Politico. Quote, we are appalled by the vile and inexcusable language revealed in the Politico article published a vile and inexcusable. Such behavior is disgraceful, not just vile and inexcusable, but disgraceful. It's unbecoming of any Republican, and it stands in direct opposition to the values our movement represents. bracket values that are not in any way articulated by the board of the young republicans but whatever they stand against those values those involved must immediately resign from all positions within their state and local young republican organizations we must hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity respect and professionalism well it's an unequivocal statement of disgust next up this is congressman mike lawler seems like a nice enough guy from new york he's a young man
