Ian Valdes, the president of Florida International University’s Turning Point USA chapter, has stepped down after a series of racist, antisemitic, and homophobic messages from the group’s WhatsApp chat were leaked.
The leaks, dating between September and October 2025, show members of the organization founded by Charlie Kirk using the N-word more than 400 times and issuing a string of slurs against Black, Jewish, gay, and disabled people.
Women were also targeted in the group, where they were referred to as “wh*res.”
