We strongly condemn and find despicable the vile and unacceptable language that has been discovered in a group chat associated with the Miami Dade County&#8217;s Republican Party Secretary,&#8221; a joint statement from Sens. Ana Maria Rodriguez, Ileana Garcia and Alexis Calatayud reads. &#8220;The statements made by those individuals clarify their moral and intellectual corruption and demonstrate a complete misalignment with core, shared American values.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We call for the resignation of the Secretary, immediately. We call for the immediate expulsion of the individuals disseminating from any level of leadership of the Miami-Dade Republican Party,&#8221; the statement continued.<\/p>\n<p>Calatayud sponsored a bill that set up an antisemitism task force that passed through the Senate this week.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Juan Porras, R-Miami, a member of the Republican Executive Committee for Miami-Dade, also condemned the chat group and called for Carvajal&#8217;s resignation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Republicans hold ourselves accountable. When someone in our ranks crosses the line, we address it directly. We do not excuse it. We do not ignore it,&#8221; Porras stated. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following reports of the racist chat group involving Miami-Dade County Republican Party members, including the group&#8217;s secretary, Abel&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":180084,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[41480,28,4215,123,125,124,1064,1929,34527,807],"class_list":{"0":"post-180083","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami","8":"tag-antisemitism","9":"tag-florida","10":"tag-florida-senate","11":"tag-miami","12":"tag-miami-headlines","13":"tag-miami-news","14":"tag-miami-dade","15":"tag-racism","16":"tag-republican-party","17":"tag-south-florida"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180083\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
