New York Young Republican Club gala draws white nationalist, far-right Germans as elected officials skip out
Politico ^ | December 15, 2025 | Jason Beeferman and Caroline McCarthy

Two months after prominent members of a national Young Republican organization were exposed for their role in a hate-filled, private group chat, the city-based chapter showed it’s willing to welcome almost anyone.

Inside Cipriani Wall Street, a lavish event space in the financial district, amid the sea of tuxedos and ball gowns, was white nationalist leader Jared Taylor. Across the room sat EmpathChan, an influencer who went viral recently for wearing blackface on Halloween. And appearing on stage was Markus Frohnmaier, a far-right German politician, whose political party the club had cheered with a German-language phrase popularized by the Nazis. At least nineteen other members of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party joined him.

Also spotted at the New York Young Republican Club gala: Vish Burra, a club member who lost his job at the conservative One America News Network last month for posting a video depicting Jews as cockroaches.

Just eight weeks after the city club’s statewide counterpart was disbanded by the New York State GOP, the city-based club showed on Saturday night how a Young Republican organization can throw a party. Its 113th annual gala came as local chapters are still reeling from the racist and antisemitic “I love Hitler” chat — and as the GOP faces a larger reckoning over whether anti-Jewish voices have space within the party.

On Saturday night, the festivities provided a glimpse of what the party’s youth wing looks like amid those conditions. Over the course of the gala, a club member struck an attendee in the face outside on the sidewalk, President Donald Trump was endorsed for a third term and a protester wearing a Nazi armband and waving a swastika-laden banner popped up from his seat to shout, “I guess we’re all Nazis!” in an attempt to disrupt the event.

Where are the grownups? The Young Republican groups have been an embarrassment. I agree with Vernikov and Wintrich's take on the festivities. Shouldn't the New York Republican party have some control over the New York Young Republicans?

I’m suspicious.

The Alinsky Tactic
Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” suggested using ridicule as a “most potent weapon”. An anecdote, cited by commentators like Dinesh D’Souza, involves students planning to protest a Republican event:

Initial Plan: Students considered using signs reading “GOP=KKK” at a rally.

Alinsky’s Advice: Alinsky advised against this as historically inaccurate (the KKK had ties to the Democratic Party before mid-20th century realignment). He proposed a more “psychologically savvy” approach.

The Tactic: Alinsky suggested the students dress in white Klan-style robes and act in support of the Republican message, thus linking opponents to the KKK through satirical endorsement.

NOW Republicans care about the “Yutes”? They are ignored 99% of the time. Also, this is Politico. If you are taking Politico at face value, that is a problem.

Politico is a far left outlet smearing those it opposes as “racists”.

The Young Republican Clubs should be incorporated into adult organizations so they can be mentored.

By all means, the GOP should remain RINO Simps, and let the MSM and Democrats dictate what’s acceptable.

NY Republicans are like the accepted non-Marxist parties of the Soviet Union

They are defeated and cowed simps who live in a one-party state

Expect nothing from them.

You have to wonder how much of this is true. All the smeary stuff reminds me that I’m supposed to be an stupid anti-vaxxer, racist, homophobe, Jew-hating, Nazi supporter of (long list of insults) Donald Trump.

The thing is that people on the left say “He’s probably a so and so.” Hearing it, they report that “He is a so and so.” Since he’s a so and so, “He’s probably this too.” This soon becomes an authoritative report that “He’s also this.” It grows from there.

Members of the Liars Club go to the Liars Club to learn the truth.

The New York State Republican Party and various county committee’s are as worthless as worthless can be. Elise Stephanik should take note, without an organized well managed committee system she has ZERO chance of winning her race for Governor.

Disappointed in Jared Taylor, who I have met and used to respect but who now pals around with some real douchebags. Vish Barra is a vile scumbag.

Exactly.

Young people have got this.

The finger wagging virtue signaling old timers are part of the problem—and are best ignored.

People up here hate Hochul but Elise Stephanik doesn’t stand a chance. Only a moderate Republican like Pataki is able to win up here. I thought for sure Lee Zeldin was likely to win but but the Dems up here are no doubt stealing close elections whenever they can.

Hochul beat Zeldin by 6+%, that's borderline landslide. No Republican can win statewide in New York, not with a dead gop committee system. I'll bet Hochul beats Elise by over 7%
