vtdigger reports:
“ Sen. Sam Douglass, R-Orleans, said he will resign after bigoted comments he and his wife made in a Young Republicans group chat were leaked this week.
In a long statement released Friday afternoon, the first-term state legislator apologized for the “offense” his comments caused and described hateful messages he’d received in recent days. At the bottom, he announced that he would resign effective Monday at noon.
“I know that this decision will upset many, and delight others, but in this political climate I must keep my family safe,” he wrote.
The Vermont Governor called for his resignation.

“A Politico report Tuesday revealed remarks Young Republican leaders, including Douglass and his wife, Briana Douglass, made in a Telegram group chat.
Following Politico’s story, Vermont elected officials across the political spectrum quickly called for Douglass’ resignation, with Gov. Phil Scott, himself a Republican, leading the charge.
In a June exchange between former New York State Young Republicans co-chair Bobby Walker and chair Peter Giunta, Walker mentioned a mutual friend who had dated an “obese Indian woman,” according to the report. Giunta replied that the woman was not Indian, to which Douglass responded: “She just didn’t bathe often.”
After Douglass made a comment about a peer’s Jewish colleague potentially making a procedural mistake, Douglass’ wife, a Young Republicans committee member, responded, stating, “you’re giving nationals to (sic) much credit and expecting the Jew to be honest.””
