The College Republicans at Iowa and at Boston University announced they were leaving the College Republican National Committee, or CRNC.
The Daily Iowan reports according to the announcement on Instagram, the two chapters will now partner with the College Republicans of America, believing it is an “important step forward for the College Republicans community” and encouraging other chapters across the country to follow their lead.
This announcement comes almost a month after Newsweek reported the CRNC group has suffered fracturing within its ranks due to a failure to gain consensus on how to move forward following the assassination of conservative media personality and Founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk, which led to multiple branches.
There are now College Republican United, National Federation of College Republicans, and College Republicans of America: all of which say they best represent the MAGA coalition.
Leaked messages were obtained and published by Politico recently, showing over seven months of conversation between Young Republican leaders in New York, Kansas, Arizona, and Vermont.
According to Politico, the 2,900 pages of chats “reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely,” accompanied by an array of slurs, some of which appear over 251 times.
College Republicans at Iowa denied a Daily Iowan request for further comment.
