A Republican state senator from Vermont, Samuel Douglass, has announced his resignation. He decided to step down following the publication of leaked chat messages in a national “Young Republicans” group that included racist and antisemitic remarks.
Here are a few key details:
Douglass was the only elected official named in the leaked group chat across four states.
He announced on Friday that he would resign effective noon the following Monday.
The group chat included highly offensive remarks aimed at various ethnic groups and minorities.
His resignation followed calls from his own party and the governor of Vermont for him to step aside.
Good job politico. Ignore Pedo Trumps comments about you.
