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.

Precisely.
Mamdani agrees with her. It’s shocking that she resigned.
Resigns? Mamdani should have promoted!
The Zero Qualification Mayor is really piling up the trash ,LOL
these folks make 60’s radicals look like pacifists.
Vetting? Do you really think Mamdani didn’t know this woman was a vehement anti-Semite? Most of those he’s close to are.
NYC “citizens” elect nothing but arse-clowns. Except every few years, or a decade, someone like Guiliani is put in and cleans that trash heap of a city up for a few years.
Its a sick cycle carousel
