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.

leftist re-education camps will do that to you ...
I just dont get people like this. What weird things to tweet. I bet he thought he was clever. Lol
If he is actually sorry (which is very doubtful) then he should change his name to Tom Traitor-Wright-Piersanti, so he won’t forget what he did.
Standards?
I agree and cannot understand why.
Because the GOP doesn’t take advantage of it.
That’s why they’re the “Stupid Party”.
According to SJW rules of engagement, apologies are admissions of guilt and are to be used as such.
Remember that, everyone.
Never apologize. They’ll beat you to death with it.
This guy, though, is an SJW. So, he’ll get a pass.
NY Times management is so full of s**t that it is coming out their ears. We should all pray that the Times ends up just where it belongs, and that is in bankruptcy.
Too bad for this guy hes not a person of color. He could have said this was just brought up because of bigotry against Blacks. On the other hand, maybe hes gay. That should be a big point in his favor at the NYTimes (maybe the reason he got the job in the first place).
This guy is someone’s kid. It’s how New York works. Privileged kids from wealthy families get jobs they aren’t qualified for, eventually they realize they are not allowed to advance up the latter because they’re not Jewish and they get pissed off and spout off about it. I spent 25 years in the music industry. Seen it 1000 times.
Why hasn’t he been fired?
