New York Times Faces Intense Backlash After Editor’s Anti-Semitism Exposed
26.2k views
The New York Times faced intense backlash on Thursday after one of its editor's anti-Semitism was exposed and the scandal trended to the top on Twitter — which led multiple high-profile figures and politicians to call for his firing.
The latest anti-Semitism scandal to break out at The New York Times came after writings from Senior Staff Editor Tom Wright-Piersanti, who oversees the infamously left-leaning newspaper's political coverage, were revealed on Thursday morning and showed years worth of anti-Semitic and racist views.
The revelation comes after The New York Times has repeatedly defended anti-Semitic Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) while trying to cast President Donald Trump — the most pro-Israel president in U.S. history — as being anti-Semitic.
In a tweet from 2010, Wright-Piersanti tweeted: "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."
In another tweet that included a picture of a car with a Menorah on the roof, Wright-Piersanti wrote: "Who called the Jew-police?"
Wright-Piersanti, who also wrote numerous racist things about Indians, began to aggressively delete his old tweets once they went viral on social media and eventually locked his Twitter account so that people could not see other things he tweeted.
Hey @NYTimesPR. I see that notorious Jew hater & racist @tomwp set his hate filled twitter account to private. Has he offered his resignation yet? Have you fired him yet? What the hell is going on over there?

Alabama Republican Senate candidate Bradley Byrne tweeted: "More anti-Semitism, NYT? Yesterday, they falsely labeled @realDonaldTrump an anti-Semite. Today, it's revealed that one of their editors has a long history of anti-Semitic tweets. Maybe this explains why they're always defending Omar & Tlaib? DISGUSTING."

The scandal comes after the Times hired notorious racist Sarah Jeong to be on its editorial board last year. The Times published an anti-Semitic cartoon this April, issued a non-apology, and then published another anti-Semitic cartoon the very next day.
The Times has a long history of downplaying anti-Semitism, including telling its readers that Hitler's anti-Semitism was not particularly problematic and burying the horrors of the Holocaust deep inside the newspaper.
