Mark Alexander: About Those Young Republican Adolescents

You know, given the Leftmedia exposure of a military mission text thread six months ago featuring SecWar Pete Hegseth — an infringement that would have resulted in a UCMJ court-martial for anyone serving in uniform under him — one would think people would learn that stupid texts in political threads will catch up to you.

Like all those Demos who think there is no perpetual record of everything they have said in the past that directly contradicts what they say now, particularly regarding their objection/support for illegal immigration, words stick with them like skunk stink for the rest of their careers.

No doubt you have heard about the murderous musings of Virginia’s leftist attorney general candidate Jerrauld Charles Corey “Jay” Jones. In 2022, he promoted the murder of then-Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert in a text message — accidentally sent to the wrong person. In that message, Jones even asserted it would be good if Gilbert’s wife could watch her children get shot and die in her arms.

After those messages were exposed two weeks ago, “Two Bullets” Jones brushed it off, saying, “Like all people, I’ve sent text messages that I regret.” He then attempted to deflect attention from his violent messages by suggesting that publicizing them was a political smear. Well, yeah, a self-inflicted smear.

And NOBODY in Demo leadership in Virginia or nationwide has called for Jones to withdraw.

This, in the wake of the murder of Charlie Kirk last month, clearly inspired by the endless stream of incendiary hate rhetoric being spewed by high-profile Demos over the last four years, including Joe Biden. It is the same rhetoric that inspired two assassination attempts against Donald Trump.

There is one lone Democrat who has consistently been critical of hateful Demo rhetoric about Trump and his supporters — Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA). On the leftist assertions that Trump and his MAGA base are fascists and NAZIs, Fetterman declared: “We have to turn the temperature down. It’s like we can’t compare people to these kinds of figures in history. [Trump] is not an autocrat. [He] is a product of a democratic election.”

Much to the objection of congressional leftists, Fetterman doubled down this week: “I knew and I loved people that voted for President Trump. But they are not fascists. They’re not Nazis. They’re not trying to destroy the Constitution. … I refuse to call people Nazis or fascists. I would never compare anybody — anybody to Hitler. If that kind of extreme rhetoric is going to continue, [it is] likely to result in extreme kinds of outcomes and political violence.”

Ahead of the upcoming Virginia election on 4 November, with the Jones murder texts trending in the news cycle, Politico broke a story about a group of New York Young Republicans (YR) making offensive jokes in a “private” group chat. Out of 2,900 pages of chat material, involving around a dozen people over eight months, Politico found 251 offensive messages.

Of course, many of the messages were deemed offensive because they did not comport with the Left’s deviant gender confusion cult orthodoxy, which I wrote about earlier this week.

The Young Republican National Federation leadership immediately denounced the chat messages and called for the resignations of those involved: “We are appalled by the vile and inexcusable language revealed in the Politico article published today. Such behavior is disgraceful, unbecoming of any Republican, and stands in direct opposition to the values our movement represents.”

JD Vance responded to the YR group messages, saying: “The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys, they tell edgy, offensive jokes. … I really don’t want us to grow up in a country where where a kid telling a stupid joke — telling a very offensive, stupid joke is cause to ruin their lives.”

Naturally, that prompted Vance’s potential 2028 presidential contender Gavin “Hair Gell” Newsom (D-CA) to call for a House probe into the group chat. Apparently, Newsom has not heard about the Jay Jones texts…

Conservative commentator Matt Walsh observed: “If you actually read that Politico hit piece [about the YR messages] you’ll see that many of the messages are being taken wildly out of context. For example, the guy who said ‘I love Hitler’ was clearly being sarcastic. It’s explicitly meant to be a sarcastic joke. And yet Politico put that quote in the headline of the article and conservatives are lining up to offer denunciations. How in the hell is anyone on the Right still falling for this trick? How have you not learned by now to take absolutely nothing from the leftist media at face value, ESPECIALLY if it’s a blatant political hit piece?”

For the record, some involved in the YR text thread were in their 20s, indicative that too many young adults are mired in adolescence.

That perpetual adolescence is loudly demonstrated every day by countless hordes of leftist protesters of all ages nationwide, including those planning to disrupt your weekend with their so-called “No Kings” demonstrations. To be clear, “No Kings” is a leftist euphemism to assert that Trump is a fascist Nazi, and by extension, so are his MAGA base supporters.

Let me reiterate: No Demos have called for “Two Bullets” Jones to resign. Consequently, Republicans clearly own the high ground against promoting political violence.

Finally, National Review’s Charles Cook responded to the YR brouhaha with a primer on “How Not to Be Caught Saying Hideous Things.” Spoiler alert: Don’t say hideous things.
