- On Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance dismissed concerns as `pearl clutching`, arguing Jay Jones, Virginia Democrat's violent texts were `far worse`, sparking rebukes.

- Several Young Republicans named in the chats have stepped down, and Representative Ro Khanna joined Democratic lawmakers in responding to the revelations.
