Miami GOP head calls for GOP party official to resign

Florida Republican leaders are demanding that Miami GOP Secretary Abel Alexander Carvajal resign immediately after explosive revelations emerged about his involvement in a conservative group chat riddled with vile racial slurs, antisemitic statements, and other disgusting content.

Miami-Dade County Republican Party Chairman Kevin Cooper declared that "anyone associated with this chat should resign immediately." Meanwhile, Republican state Rep. Juan Porras directly called on Carvajal to step down on Wednesday, blasting the messages as "deeply disturbing and completely unacceptable."

Carvajal launched the group chat last fall, mainly for conservative students at Florida International University. Leaked messages revealed participants unleashing a barrage of racial slurs targeting Jews and Black people. Among the worst offenders were Dariel Gonzalez, then the College Republicans' recruitment chairman, and Ian Valdes, the Turning Point USA chapter president. Carvajal chimed in occasionally, deleted some messages, but never shut the chat down, according to the Miami Herald.

In one exchange, Gonzalez wrote, "You can f*** all the ks you want. Just don't marry them and procreate," warning about the danger of having "a little k running arounddddd." Valdes shot back, "I would def not marry a Jew." [The k abbreviation apparently stands for the disgusting antisemitic slur that rhymes with 'bike'.]

In another antisemitic moment, Valdes renamed the group chat "Gooning in Agartha," a reference to crude slang for male masturbation combined with the mythical underground civilization pushed by Heinrich Himmler, Adolf Hitler's right-hand man. Valdes called Agartha "esoteric nazism essentially," and Gonzalez described it as "Nazi heaven sort of."

Elsewhere, Valdes pushed, "We need to have a moratorium on immigration temporarily unless it's someone from a first world country….Yeah I obviously mean whites."

The chat also featured plenty of misogynistic trash talk about women, along with repeated use of the n-word and violent, hateful comments against Black people. Gonzalez sneered, "Ew you had colored professors?!" adding, "I reguse [sic] to be indoctrinated by the coloreds." He later insisted, "Avoid the coloreds like the plague."

Another exchange reported by the Floridian Press included a user spewing violent fantasies about wanting to "exterminate ns in the gas chamber" and "eat ns," among other sickening rants. Gonzalez's response? "How edgy."

Carvajal, the Miami GOP secretary who created the chat, once he was caught claimed, "had I known and had I seen some of these messages, I would have called the police." When pressed on whether he would resign, he shot back, "Of course not … for a chat where the messages that were stated were not mine."

Porras made it clear that Carvajal's failure to shut down the chat and take decisive action as a leader is indefensible. The state representative, who also serves as a Miami-Dade GOP state committee member, stressed that "Hatred toward Jewish Americans, racist rhetoric, calls for violence, all these ideas have no place in our party, our state, or our country."

"Leadership carries responsibility," Porras added. "When someone in a leadership role engages in this kind of behavior, it damages the trust placed in our party by voters across Florida. The Republican Party stands for law, order, and respect for every American. We believe in the dignity of every person."

Cooper, as the first Jewish chairman of the Miami-Dade Republican Party, said he was "shocked" by the WhatsApp messages.

This kind of toxic garbage has no business in the Republican Party. Leaders are right to demand accountability and swift action to protect the party's integrity and the trust of Florida voters.

And while the Democratic Party continues to accept anti-Semites like Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and the rest of the so called Squad, at least the Republicans take an active stance against this garbage.
