A Florida Republican resigned from his secretary position on Monday after a racist group chat filled with epithets and slurs was exposed.
Abel Carvajal, 23, stepped down as Miami-Dade Republican Party secretary about three weeks after the vile messages were leaked.
Carvajal created the WhatsApp group chat and took part in it at times, leaving it active even as shocking messages about killing black people were shared.
At one point, the chat was renamed to pay tribute to what one member dubbed 'Nazi heaven,' according to the Miami Herald.
Carvajal specifically used the terms 'miss,' 'miet,' and 'm*er,' all variations of the n-word, the Floridian Press reported.
In total, the heinous slur variations were used more than 400 times. Women, gay people and Jewish people were also regularly demeaned in the chat.
Carvajal resigned ahead of a special meeting on Monday to vote on his future in the party.
He told the Daily Mail: 'I will simply state - I want our party to move forward, and I want to keep the party out of this situation.'

The chat that Carvajal created was leaked at the beginning of March and originally titled 'Uber R*rds Yapping Inc.'
At one point last September, the participants - who also included some of FIU's top Republicans and the university's Turning Point USA chapter president - appeared to be discussing a black student.
The student had left the university's College Republicans group after being subjected to racial slurs, according to the Floridian Press.
One participant asked: 'What happened to her?'
Another replied: 'William called her a nr so she left.'
Carvajal then posted: 'Why didn't mi*ess leave?'
In a separate conversation, two members discussed 'Total negro death.' One of them proceeded to post more than two dozen ideas on how to 'kill nrs.'
Later, the chat was renamed to 'Gooning in Agartha,' referencing a slang term for masturbation and a mythical concept that Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler believed was a heaven of sorts.
FIU charged Carvajal with student conduct and honor code violations, alleging he had 'created and managed a group chat where individuals posted statements threatening to harm others'
Carvajal said that he created the group chat after Charlie Kirk's heinous murder and participation in FIU's Turning Point USA group had been limited by administrators
In his resignation letter, Carvajal wrote that the 'language used in that context was inappropriate.'
'Regardless of the intentions behind the language used, it was wrong,' he said, per the Orlando Sentinel. 'I understand why it is offensive, and I take that seriously. Intent does not excuse impact.'
Carvajal added that his 'continued service to our Party as the Secretary is a small price to pay to ensure that the leaks and press focus on our party can end.'
He had previously told the Miami Herald that he usually ignored the thousands of messages sent in the group chat.
'I guess to an extent, I bear some responsibility, [be]cause I created a chat,' Carvajal said.
Carvajal deleted at least 42 of his own messages and 14 messages sent by others in the chat, according to the outlet.
He claimed that he was 'decluttering the chat' and deleting stickers.
'My biggest regret is that in doing that, I facilitated this kind of deranged stuff being out there,' Carvajal said. 'I'm at a loss of words.'
He said he created the group chat after Charlie Kirk's murder when FIU's Turning Point USA chat was limited to administrators only.
Carvajal's lawyer, Anthony Sabatini, told the Daily Mail that 'FIU's actions are absurd, totalitarian, and blatantly illegal'
Miami-Dade GOP leaders had called for Carvajal's resignation after the group chat's messages came to light.
'As this ugly episode ends, we reaffirm ourselves to the mission ahead: to elect Republicans to office up and down the ballot,' said Kevin Cooper, the county's Republican Party chairman.
Carvajal also filed a federal First Amendment lawsuit on Monday in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida against FIU president Jeanette Nuñez.
The suit alleged that 'FIU's actions constitute a content and viewpoint-based punishment of protected speech in violation of the First Amendment and should be immediately enjoined.'
Carvajal told the Daily Mail: 'I do not want my ongoing litigation to distract from the Party's mission.'
FIU charged Carvajal with student conduct and honor code violations on March 11, according to his lawsuit.
The university said it had received allegations that Carvajal 'created and managed a group chat where individuals posted statements threatening to harm others.'
In the suit, Carvajal accused FIU of 'viewpoint discrimination and punishment of speech' against him 'for off-campus, private speech.'
'A list of the controversial remarks posted in the group chat, include racial slurs, gender-based slurs, antisemitic rhetoric, and anti-LGBTQ language,' the complaint read.
Carvajal has also sued FIU president, Jeanette Nuñez, in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida
'However, the group chat contained no illegal speech or categories of unprotected speech, such as true threats, incitement, or fighting words.'
The lawsuit said that Carvajal's speech had been 'chilled entirely by the disciplinary proceeding.'
He is seeking a preliminary injunction, declaratory relief and damages.
Carvajal's attorney, Anthony Sabatini, toldthe Daily Mail that 'FIU's actions are absurd, totalitarian, and blatantly illegal.'
The Daily Mail has reached out to the Republican Party of Miami Dade County and Florida International University for further comment.
