A senior editor at the New York Times apologized Thursday for "offensive" tweets from nearly a decade ago, as one Republican lawmaker called for his firing.
“I have deleted tweets from a decade ago that are offensive. I am deeply sorry,” New York politics desk editor Tom Wright-Piersanti said on Twitter after Breitbart News drew attention to the tweets.
The tweets, which were deleted late Wednesday, include one from Jan. 1, 2010, in which Wright-Piersanti referred to a "Crappy Jew Year."
“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," he wrote in one tweet.
Another, from December 2009, referred to the “Jew-police.”
“We are aware of these tweets, which are a clear violation of our standards. We are reviewing next steps," The New York Times said in a statement.
SNIP
Translation: 'We'll wait until this blows over and everyone forgets about it.'
They’ve been ‘deleted’ so we may never know. Did they use bleach bitch?
Had he been a conservative, they would be calling for his head!.......!!!!!!!!!
Rush was right!..................
What’s he got to apologize for?
Insult the Jews. They - like the blacks - will still vote liberal and support liberal politics.
“We are aware of these tweets, which are a clear violation of our standards...”
Standards? They don’t have no stinkin’ standards. Never did. How’s that 1930s “Soviet Union is really doing well...” stuff doing there, NYT dorks?
Hyphenated soyboy cuck.
No wonder they weren’t bothered by Sarah Jeong.
Say what? Who writes stuff like that? How did this nutjob get into a high position with the Slimes?
The Nazi Times got caught again.
Too bad! Resign or we’ll protest outside your apartment, isn’t that the way this works?
How long has Twitter been around? I feel old.
If I had a dollar for every time a lib apolgizes for some stupid comment or tweet, I’d be a wealthy man.
Almost 10 years. Obviously Twitter had no problem with those statements violating their terms.
The Nazi Times is what it is, and it shall be forever known as such.
Too bad that this gomer isn’t Samurai. In that case he would be honor bound to commit seppuku and make the world a much better place.
Rush was right but he got the scoop from Breitbart.
And gets a pass and no repercussions.
The New York Slimes have standards..who knew LOL..The Slimes have always been Jew haters, its what they are..always siding with Hamas so this guy is a perfect fit
I see the anti Semitic Hill is trying to soften the blow on this Jew hating bastard!!! ...considering how they have deliberately crucified trump with the racist witch hunt chit!!!
