Students?

I wonder what the context was? Were the "College Republicans" OK with that or protesting?

Oh.

"The University of Florida’s College Republicans chapter was disbanded after a finding that some of its members had violated a statewide organization’s rules, including making an antisemitic gesture."

So, it was MEMBERS of the College Republicans who did that. Apparently, without criticism, implying consent.

Today, Judd at Popular Information:

Kai Schwemmer, a 23-year-old college student from Utah, was named the new political director for the College Republicans of America (CRA) on March 5. The appointment has drawn criticism because Schwemmer has been an outspoken supporter of white supremacist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. Devoted fans of Fuentes are known as “groypers.”

Sweet! It would be mild to say Fuentes is very 'comfortable' with Nazis.
