Florida International University (FIU) has banned two GOP operatives, Abel Carvajal and Dariel Gonzalez, following their involvement in a scandal surrounding racist and violent group chats. Carvajal, a third-year law student and creator of the chat, was found responsible for actions that violated the Student Code of Conduct and has filed an appeal against the decision. Gonzalez, who served as the recruitment chairman for the FIU College Republicans, was found guilty of violating conduct codes related to verbal abuse and substance use on campus, including driving under the influence. The group chat, which was exposed over two months ago, contained disturbing messages where participants expressed violent fantasies about Black people, including calls for genocide and graphic descriptions of violence. This incident is reminiscent of a previous scandal involving the national Young Republicans group, where leaked chats revealed members making similarly racist comments and expressing admiration for historical figures associated with oppression. Gonzalez is currently being represented by Anthony Sabatini, a former far-right lawmaker known for his controversial history. The university's actions highlight ongoing concerns about racism and extremism within political organizations on college campuses.
