The College Republicans of America (CRA) — an organization for young conservatives that has over 280 chapters on campuses nationwide, as well as had numerous recent scandals involving bigoted statements from its leadership — appointed right-wing broadcaster Kai Schwemmer as its new political director on March 5. However, Schwemmer has ties to white supremacist Nick Fuentes, and a recent review of Schwemmer’s past videos reportedly revealed his homophobic, antisemitic, and racist comments, including a claim that gay men are trying to give people AIDS by taking over gyms. The CRA has refused to apologize for hiring Schwemmer and said it will not bow down to the “woke mob” that has expressed concern over his views.
According to The Guardian, also:
Schwemmer said he would accept a world in which slavery was legal if abortion was criminalized, describes himself as “very much an anti-universal suffrage guy” and accepts a supporter’s description of him as “our Mormon Nick Fuentes” – referring to the white nationalist influencer whose platform he streamed on for years. The comments were made after Schwemmer’s return from a two-year Mormon mission to Argentina; a period he recently claimed had seen him undergo a “process of growth” that led him to abandon previous racist beliefs. Schwemmer had previously expressed extremist and bigoted views.
Keith Ellison, the attorney general for Minnesota, said, “Donald Trump is currently facing an unpopular war that he launched, rising gas prices, massive health insurance price hikes, and a partial government shutdown caused in part by his ICE agents killing two Minnesotans in broad daylight. It is astonishing that any president would try to target, shame, and harass children just trying to be themselves, let alone a president with so many actual problems to address.”
And speaking of Trump and the trans community:
‘Transgender MUTILIZATION’: Donald Trump just making up words in bizarre, unfocused late-night rants - Trump keeps claiming that Democrats want to engage in "mutilization" of kids. He's repeating the false narrative about trans kids and surgery but keeps repeating "mulitization," a word he apparently made up. From what I hear, he means to say "mutlilation" but his people are too chickenshit to correct him.
