"I do have a Nazi streak in me from time to time."

That line alone probably torpedoes the nomination. If it doesn't, I look forward to a very lively confirmation hearing.

I don’t want to read the article -I’m driving— how did they supposedly get these texts?

I don’t know if he’s a Nazi or racist but poor judgement disqualifies him.

If what is reported is true, Ingrassia should withdraw himself from the nomination immediately. If he hesitates, Trump should do that for him.

(And yes, I know Democrats have done worse. But if this is true… it’s very bad.)

What a train wreck, if true and not AI, Trump’s going to have to withdraw his nomination. If this guy feels this way, he’s obviously too stupid to keep it to himself. And if he really DOES feel this way, even if I agree with a little of what he said, he has no place in government. Indiscretion like this is a career killer.

Apologizing, backpedaling, and kowtowing to the racist, communist, homosexualist democRATs will avail you nothing, only cost you your dignity.

He’s not wrong. He enjoyed watching women be sexually abused in front of him.

Participants in the group chat.

His lawyer is quoted with the following non-denial:

“Even if the texts are authentic, they clearly read as self-deprecating and satirical humor making fun of the fact that liberals outlandishly and routinely call MAGA supporters ‘Nazis.’ “ Which may be accurate. but Ingrassia wasn’t talking to liberals.

Plus the remark about never trusting Indians (specifically referencing Ramaswamy) or “chinamen” doesn’t gibe with the office of Special Counsel.

Yes. Blacks have been stuck on the Democrat plantation for generations. Thanks to Trump, some of them are finally seeing the light.

Then this story comes along. If it’s false, denounce it immediately. If it’s true, get rid of Ingrassia. Immediately.

It’s to President Trump he should be apologizing.

The most recent person to have a holiday named after them is Juneteenth (June 19, 1865), which was signed into law as a federal holiday in the U.S. in 2021 by President Joe Biden. This holiday commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and is the most recent federal holiday to be created in the United States. Before this, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a federal holiday in 1983, celebrated on the third Monday in January.

So private leaked texts that were never meant to go public = bad, but democrat public texts = he's grown, let's move on?

Also, I don't believe the press anymore, so as far as I know this is yet another example of, "I heard from a guy who heard from a guy...."
