Racist memes apparently posted in a private chat by members of the College Republicans at the University of Pittsburgh were exposed in a Twitter account on Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
The College Republicans denounced the messages and said the images are “reprehensible and contrary to our values.” A Pitt official said the university was investigating the matter.
The first thread on the anonymous Twitter account, named @Pittracists, begins: “the university of pittsburgh is home to white nationalists, racists, and their apologists.” It goes on: “specifically those who associate with the Pitt College Republicans & alt-right publication Polis Media have been involved in various secret groups where they share genocide apologia & other racist ‘jokes.’”
