To the voters of New York: here is the latest indication on who/what you’ve put in charge of your city for the next for years.
From Craig McCarthy and Matt Troutman’s article for the New York Post:
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.
This Jew-hater was going to be in charge of appointments? Lovely. How many Jews do you figure she’d be appointing?
So tell me: how many other Jew haters has mamdani appointed that we don’t know about yet?
I mean, do you have any doubt that Jew haters/Israel haters are going to be in a mamdani administration? If so, please signify by either saying “I don’t know a thing about zohran mamdani” or “I have an IQ in single digits”.
Get ready, New York. You voted for this. And you’re going to get exactly what you voted for. I hope you enjoy every minute of it.
And, I am truly sad to say, I have no doubt a good many of you will.
