Appearing Thursday on the Fox News Channel’s America’s Newsroom, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) said New York Times politics editor Tom Wright-Piersanti should be fired for his past racist and antisemitic tweets. Zeldin made the plea as part of his comments on how the far-left “The Squad” remain unchecked by the House Democrat leadership for their repeated antisemitism and anti-Israel positions.
“An editor from the New York Times is scrubbing his [Twitter] account, this guy Tom Wright-Piersanti, because he was self-describing himself as an antisemite and he was going after Jews and others,” remarked Zeldin, who is Jewish, before adding that the journalist “should be fired.”
The New York Republican’s comments come after a review of Wright-Piersant’s past Twitter activity by Breitbart News show the Times editor of five years wrote various bigoted and anti-Jewish tweets. In one tweet, the reporter said in the early morning of New Years Day in 2010: “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
Is he keeping his maiden name?
I read this as “Led Zepplin calls for ...” What? Slow down now.
Everyone is racist. Everyone is anti-semetic. Everyone is homophobic, xenophobic. Blah, blah, blah.
I find it all very tiresome.
Dittos.
He’s a ‘rat. All that’s required to make it right is an apology for our being offended by his remarks.
That’s what I was wondering. One of our vendors where I worked had a sales rep that took his wife’s last name . WIERD dude.
