A New York Times political editor has a years-long history of antisemitic and racist comments on his Twitter page, a Breitbart News investigation has found.

Tom Wright-Piersanti, who has been a Senior Staff Editor at the New York Times for more than five years according to his LinkedIn page and according to his Twitter page oversees the newspaper’s political coverage, has made a series of antisemitic and racist tweets over the years. Many of them are still public on his Twitter page as of the publication of this article, but some have since been deleted.

One tweet that is still public is from the early morning of New Years Day in 2010, when he admits he is antisemitic but announced that his New Years resolution was to be less antisemitic—even though the tweet’s content mocks Jewish people. “I was going to say ‘Crappy Jew Year,’ but one of my resolutions is to be less anti-Semitic,” Wright-Piersanti tweeted on Jan. 1, 2010, at 9:35 a.m. “So…. HAPPY Jew Year. You Jews.” I was going to say "Crappy Jew Year," but one of my resolutions is to be less anti-Semitic. So… HAPPY Jew Year. You Jews. — Tom Wright-Piersanti (@tomwp) January 1, 2010

Unbelievable!

The irony is that I’ve always been glad Israel is an ally as they are an asset and our eyes in the region but I was not particularly an Israel advocate or gave much thought to it otherwise.

After witnessing what is going on with the new congress members and the Times and other msm outlets, Israel has become that much more important to me.

I don’t know why. But that has been the result.

Hopefully that will happen to many.

People here get mad that Jews vote 70 percent dem, but to be fair, if they’ve been here for generations, how much is Israel gonna matter to them?

How much does where our ancestors came from determine our politics?

My father was born in Italy and though I AM SO HAPPY about Savlvini, and maybe care more than most others here, I can’t imagine anything happening THERE that would affect my vote here.

Correct, Israel is way down on Jewish libs’ list of concerns. And when it is on their radar they express their disdain for Bibi and the settlers, and advocate for a 2-state solution that would in effect cut Israel in half and give to strategic Golan to Syria.

Libs in general throughout the Western world are primarily concerned with destroying Western civ by advocating for open borders, mass 3rd world immigration (both legal and illegal), socialism, gun confiscation, LGBTQ+ activism, etc.

What do Bret Stephens, Tom Friedman, and Paul Krugman have to say about this news about their colleague?

Inquiring minds want to know,

Our favorite pundit (/sarc), Ann Coulter, just had an editorial titled "Why The NEW YORK TIMES Is Unreformable And Must Die".

It's simply not believable that a significant newspaper would have a clown like this on their staff. I think Annie's right on the money here.

I wish we could get Israel to take over Mexico....it would become highly productive in a generation.

It's the New York Times, the paper that went to some lengths to bury stories about the Holocaust. They're progressives. What else would you expect?

Paul Krugman (NYTimes columnist) recently had a column in which he attacked the real-estate developer Stephen Ross for supporting a Trump.

He wrote:
“Ross is Jewish - and anyone Jewish has to be completely ignorant of history not to know that when bigotry runs free, we’re next in line for persecution. In fact, the ingredients for an American pogrom are now in place.”

Waiting for Professor Krugman’s comments about this NYTimes news editor...
