Hmmm I wonder which "antisemitic guesture" the college-aged Republican club was caught performing?
Wild how that keeps happening!
They were saluting Rome, as one commonly does.
This is the same party that loves to try to pin the KKK on today's Democratic Party. That loves to gaslight about how they aren't really full of racists and xenophobes.
And yet.
Let me guess:
Showing support for Palestine?
That's what you thought? It's a Republican college club in Florida, it ain't Columbia University, those shit heels were doing Hitler salutes, no doubt.
Oh I thought it was antisemitic behavior that the University of Florida disapproves of.
I thought heil hitlers were mandatory there.
I graduated from UF in 2000. I was not a nazi, much less even close to being a conservative, and nor were any of the people I associated with during my time there, but I guess enjoy your stereotypes of what everyone in Florida is like.
I graduated from UF in 2004. Thing about Gainesville is that there is the college side, and then there is the rest of Gainesville, which is still stuck in the 1940's.
Yeah, no doubt. Gainesville would be like all the other little nothing north Florida towns if not for the university.
Do you currently live in Florida?
I do, but mostly because most of my family is here. I live in a very red area and I can't stand most of the people around me, but running away from it isn't going to help change it.
There's a lot of good about it and just like Texas it's more of a purple state than a red one.
I didn't mean to lump absolutely everyone together with my stereotypes but Ron DeSantis is not helping with that either.
They probably were, but I doubt that's what got them in trouble. Musk did it live on stage in front of millions and it didn't even slow him down.
I think it did really impact people's perception of him and his brands, but even outside of that, he's rich. It's easier to get away with absolutely anything if you're wealthy.
Didn't a chapter in Maryland invite Jared Taylor to their campus? What the hell is wrong with these kids
They’re nazis.
It turns out that the Republican Party is full of Republicans.
Calling blacks the N word isn't enough. Calling women the b word isn't enough. Calling gays the f and d words isn't enough. But offend Jews???
Ban. 🙃
Probably because the Republicans have been trying to use antisemitism as a cudgel to attack the left, so this makes them look bad right now
It's ironic because the extreme majority of their voters base hate Jews too, and call them words starting with K.
Wow, MAGAs will turn on their own to defend Israel, but won't go after pedophiles in their ranks.
These people can't even pretend to be about civics and this the club should not exist.
I look forward to these assholes complaining about how they are being censored for conservative speech.
It's weird because they never are actually in hot water over speaking about the supposed "conservative values" they pretend are so important. No one comes down on them for talking about small government or fiscal responsibility. It's so weird that they are always engaging in all this hateful stuff. Must be some kind of coincidence. I'm sure it has nothing at all to do with what they really value.
I do kind of feel for actual conservatives who actually believe in those values, though. Must be a really bad time.
I suppose so. They could probably switch over to Libertarian Party - which also has a racism problem, it turns out, but maybe not as much as the Republican Party.
As it is, the conservative movement is so chock full of people that basically want a dictator with no checks and balances and that centers businesses and businessmen. The racism and the xtian theocratic nonsense got paired up with that because honestly, how many people are going to sign up to a party that funnels even more money upwards and gives businesses even more influence? As long as this is still a democracy, you have to gin up some voters...
Pedo Party gonna step in and save racist/sexist frat.
What definition of "antisemitic" applies here?
Its the GOP doing it, so the actual one.
Another one?
Sounds like the parent org took action. UF didn’t seem to do anything according to the article.
So are they gonna be expelled and have their academic lives ruined like the Gaza protesters who weren’t even antisemitic in most cases?
Nah, they’re being deactivated, didn’t you read the headline?
Antisemetic behavior? You mean they were Advocating for NOT Bombing Schools and Murdering Children? How DARE those Anti Semites do THAT! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
No, these ones were actual Nazis
