A Florida Republican resigned from his secretary position on Monday after a racist group chat filled with epithets and slurs was exposed. Abel Carvajal, 23, stepped down as Miami-Dade Republican Party secretary about three weeks after the vile messages were leaked. Carvajal created the WhatsApp group chat and took part in it at times, leaving it active even as shocking messages about killing black people were shared. At one point, the chat was renamed to pay tribute to what one member dubbed ‘Nazi heaven,’ according to the Miami Herald. Carvajal specifically used the terms ‘miss,’ ‘miet,’ and ‘m***er,’ all variations of the n-word, the Floridian Press reported. In total, the heinous slur variations were used more than 400 times. Women, gay people and Jewish people were also regularly demeaned in the chat. Carvajal resigned ahead of a special meeting on Monday to vote on his future in the party. (…) At one point last September, the participants – who also included some of FIU’s top Republicans and the university’s Turning Point USA chapter president – appeared to be discussing a black student. The student had left the university’s College Republicans group after being subjected to racial slurs, according to the Floridian Press. One participant asked: ‘What happened to her?’ Another replied: ‘William called her a nr so she left.’ Carvajal then posted: ‘Why didn’t miess leave?’ In a separate conversation, two members discussed ‘Total negro death.’ One of them proceeded to post more than two dozen ideas on how to ‘kill n***rs.’ Later, the chat was renamed to ‘Gooning in Agartha,’ referencing a slang term for masturbation and a mythical concept that Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler believed was a heaven of sorts.
