https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/30/kai-schwemmer-college-republicans-livestreamKai Schwemmer, the newly appointed College Republicans of America political director, has made racist, antisemitic, homophobic and sexist statements while espousing extremist rightwing views on abortion, a Guardian review of livestream recordings can reveal.
Schwemmer said he would accept a world in which slavery was legal if abortion was criminalised, describes himself as very much an anti-universal suffrage guy and accepts a supporters description of him as our Mormon Nick Fuentes referring to the white nationalist influencer whose platform he streamed on for years.
The comments were made after Schwemmers return from a two-year Mormon mission to Argentina, a period he recently claimed had seen him undergo a process of growth that led him to abandon previous racist beliefs. Schwemmer had previously expressed extremist and bigoted views.
The streams, many of which are not publicly available but remain accessible behind a paywall on Schwemmers Gumroad page, also contain previously unreported material from his earlier broadcasts. In one, he walks a user through a sequence of antisemitic leading questions on the Omegle platform before directing her to Fuentess streaming site. In others, he claims gay men are weaponizing gyms to give you Aids and celebrates a DNA test he says proved Im 0% Jewish.

They are such dedicated misogynists that they think anything that women approve of is weak. And anything that most women disapprove of is just what they wanna do. Because they never pissed off their mommies enough, sorry for the rant.

This is the face they have chosen. It is who they are.
Those Republican relatives? The vast majority of them have been absorbed into the cult.
This young man is not a "nice kid". He's a blonde white kid who has been told he's the center of the universe and that has gone to his head.
I used to believe that Republicans wanted the same general things we did, a country where everyone thrives. That illusion was shattered decades ago. I was a naive child.
Now, I live by this: When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

(14,218 posts)In the same debate, the host read out a viewers question: Do you believe married women have the right to vote? What about single women?
Schwemmer responded: I believe they currently have the right to vote. But Im in favor of probably like a family voting thing. I think thatd probably be a better way to do it.
Family voting is a Christian nationalist proposal to restrict the franchise to male heads of households, who would act as political representatives of their wives and children.
Im very much an anti-universal suffrage guy, Schwemmer added. I dont think theres a good defense for allowing people to vote who dont take the time to return shopping carts. I think thats a huge issue. Allowing those people the same leverage in your electoral system as a homeowner. Thats crazy to me.
