Montpelier, Vt. - Governor Phil Scott today issued the following statement in response to leaked messages from leaders of a national Young Republican group chat:
"The hateful statements made in this group chat are disgusting and unacceptable. The vile, racist, bigoted, and antisemitic dialogue that has been reported is deeply disturbing. There is simply no excuse for it. Those involved should resign from their roles immediately and leave the Republican party - including Vermont State Senator Sam Douglass."
