New York Young Republican Club gala draws white nationalist, far-right Germans as elected officials skip out

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.

I didn’t realize she had beat him by that much. Maybe a lot of the conservative NYers’s retired down in Florida making it even harder to get a Republican governor elected up here. Not good.

Hitler was a National Socialist who believed that all political authority should be permanently vested in the Nazi leadership.

What does that have to do with the 2025 USA Republican Party?

These alleged young Republicans are totally BOGUS!

It’s Monday.

Monday seems to now be the “Post all the lame media BS written on weekends that makes Trump and the right look bad” day from that hate trolls.

But are AfD really white nationalists and far right?

I suppose the “white nationalist” label could apply to Jared Taylor.

It’s poor headline writing though.

Yep, but the main factor is the five boroughs - can't overcome the population numbers there that vote democrat.

Careful, the girl in the first picture is wearing a wire! ;)

Exactly.
Young people have got this.
Boomer Cons are so done. GTFO of the way.

There is a new world, a new time, a new burning desire for freedom. Boomers have long forgotten what passion is all about. They’ve sold their souls for mortgage interest deductions, SS Colas, and white guilt, all while they watched the bankruptcy by devaluation, waves of Invaders, and Virtue signaled posing while NIMBY fascist actors.

Love of Country ain’t waving the flag.
It’s being prepared to burn down the shiiite of the phookin savages living next door, and BBQing while it roasts.

There will be a reckoning.

THE HORROR! WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE WORLD?

Call me crazy, I don't trust Politico to tell me what this guy believes.

Politico considered Trump and MAGA to be far right and the equivalent of Nazis.

It’s super easy to google the various quotes, though for me the Jews=cockroaches was enough for me to puke.
