Story summary

The Manhattan Institute's national survey finds Millennial Republicans are more likely to identify as racist than Baby Boomer Republicans, with 34% of 30–49-year-olds admitting such views versus 3% of those over 65.
The same survey of nearly 3,000 voters also shows younger Republicans are more inclined to express antisemitic views.
However, the authors Jesse Arm and Matthew Knee say new GOP entrants are younger, more diverse, and hold progressive views.
