A Nazi salute, posts calling for the expulsion of Jews, and allegations of managing a racist anonymous account: The scandal surrounding a former club treasurer in New York deepens after he was filmed spending time with senior officials days after being suspended.

An investigation by New York magazine attributes to the former treasurer of the New York Young Republican Club the operation of an X account that spread antisemitic and racist content. He denies the allegations, but has been removed from his position, and prominent donors are demanding explanations regarding the conduct at the club.
