A high-profile Zohran Mamdani appointee resigned Thursday after newly unearthed posts revealed a series of antisemitic comments online — including rants about “money hungry Jews” and defunding NYPD “piggies.”
The short-lived appointment fell apart once the Anti-Defamation League of New York and New Jersey demanded answers Thursday from Mayor-elect Mamdani’s team about whether its members knew about Catherine Almonte Da Costa’s past antisemitic posts on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Da Costa, whom Mamdani tapped on Wednesday as the city’s next director of appointments, had several vile stereotype-laden posts from 2011 and 2012, the ADL revealed in a post on X.
“Money hungry Jews smh,” she tweeted in January 2011.
“Woo! Promoted to the upstairs office today! Working alongside these rich Jewish peeps,” she tweeted in June that year.
In June 2012, Da Costa posted: “Far Rockaway train is the Jew train.”
The posts remained up until Thursday afternoon, when Da Costa apparently deleted the account.

She was vetted. The things that brought her down were the very things Mamdani loved about her.
The only thing that saves us from tyranny from these imbeciles is they are imbeciles and lazy.
The ADL had a problem with a Jew hating democrat? Especially a Jew hating commie democrat working for a Jew hating Muslim democrat. Color me shocked.
It's obvious in the way the conduct themselves and in their total lack of respect for constituents.
Americans deserve something better than a 'sovereignty of the unqualified'.
The gigabit bucket #13 sees all, catches all, deletes nothing!
Folks forgot that they were cataloged, pigeon hole, from their first keystroke on an electronic machine, their first digital image, their first work of self expression -both naughty and nice, the gigabit bucket holds them...
(Hmmm....I. wonder about those moments of ‘fun’ in 1984..yup, T., even ‘that’!)
Yep. The dumbing down of America and the Marxist hidebound-ness of the Left have turned politics into a popularity contest as opposed to a quasi-meritocracy.
Ahh, NYC, you’re in for a real fun few years…
Brilliant job, electing this assclown… really, spot-on brilliance.
Morons.
Agreed...and therein is where he is vulnerable. If he is stupid enough to try and implement half of what he's promised, either he will be recalled or NYC will die a painful death.
My feelings exactly. Well said.
You can delete your posts but your soul stays the same.
Mamdani is on record saying worse. Maybe he should resign too.
If I understand it correctly, no voter recall exists in New York City. The governor holds the rare but absolute power to remove the mayor for misconduct in office—formal charges of malfeasance, corruption, or serious breaches of public trust—after notice and a hearing.
Poor judgment, incompetent decisions, or even grossly negligent acts that endanger public safety without evidence of deliberate intent or corrupt purpose would not qualify as willful, intentional misconduct. The threshold requires proof of purposeful ethical betrayal, not mere failure or carelessness.
Once schools and other societal organizations have begun to purposely overlook, and even to actually disregard 'merit', the result has shown increasingly in political leadership.
We have people in public office who speak and consequently think in the most sloppy and uninformed way! It's laughably obvious whenever they have to 'wing it' (and fail) on even the most basic issues.
Leadership? H*ll... i don't even want to be in the same room with people that stupid and crude, let alone have them as 'leaders'!!
Our colleges, universities, and K-12 have seen to that.
Well, there’s the last nail in the coffin...
Better yet that he had never been elected. I think sensible folks saw through him before he was even nominated. But you gotta have the votes.
Other successes globally are the same...(so long as they can endure over time, before they fail miserably). Poor, uneducated and otherwise intellectually compromised types love the idea of being cared for. They are positively preconditioned and habituated to the idea of subservience to leadership!
Social media and drugs/alcohol are a dangerous combination😂
