The former members said the organization is 'filled with white nationalists and neo-Nazis posing as principled conservatives and Republicans.'
The leaders of an Arizona State University conservative student group apologized after former members revealed individuals belonging to the organization had made anti-Semitic, racist and homophobic comments in chats.
The members wrote that"we are writing this letter to draw your attention to the deeply unsettling, very alarming direction that this ASU student organization has gone in over the last few months." In one chat, Thomas appears to call rapper Childish Gambino a"degenerate monkey filth." In another, he writes that he views homosexuality as a"deformity."
He also wrote"Remind me why we can't have a eugenics policy again?" along with a video of a girl who has Rett syndrome. The organizations described the leaking of chats as a smear orchestrated by members who quit the organization after discovering they could not win leadership positions.
