WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance downplayed messages in a Young Republicans group chat this week, equating racist texts sent by adults in their thirties to notes being passed in class by fourth graders.

“I think we’ve all done things in our past,” said Vance on The Charlie Kirk Show, a podcast hosted by colleagues of the late conservative activist. “That doesn’t make us racist. I mean, hey, we all passed notes about swastikas in fourth grade. Some of us just never stopped.”

Vance went on to insist that the scandal was being overblown by the “liberal media,” who, he said, “don’t understand locker room humor.”

When asked about one message in the chat depicting a photoshopped image of Martin Luther King Jr. holding a Confederate flag, Vance responded, “You know, context matters. Were they being hateful, or were they just being historically inaccurate in a fun way?”

He later added, “We’ve all said the N-word at least twice. I know I have. You can’t cancel people for a few mistakes without putting everything in context.”
