But he apologized and deleted all of his old tweets today after it started getting reported.

“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 his defense, he was probably provoked into saying those things about Jews and native Americans by Trump’s rhetoric back before he was running for President. We should be thankful we have folks like him in charge of editing at the Times to shine a light on Trumps racism.
 
This is the new left.


In b4 “it’s only the fringe”


Take a read through the comments and replies on all these stories. The left celebrates it.
 
Guarantee he's spent years virtue signaling on dumb comments Trump has made.

Speaking of digging up old tweets, whatever happened with Joy Reid lying and telling the FBI her account was hacked? Double standard everywhere.
 
I read all of the comments that Breitbart pulled, and a few were unacceptable for a senior staff editor. I'd suspend him and straighten his shit out, and review content he was responsible for. All but the "Happy Jew Year" seemed like dumb, awkward jokes that aren't that bad.
 
These ones were funny:

Wright-Piersanti also had insensitive things to say about red-headed Americans. On Dec. 22, 2009, at 7:21 p.m., he tweeted in a since-deleted tweet: “Oh my god… ginger is an anagram of the N word. No wonder it hurts so much to be called one…”

A moment later, he added in another tweet that is still publicly available: “That’s it! From here on out, none of you can call me ginger except other gingers. And don’t pull that ‘I was saying ‘gingA’’ crap.”

That's it! From here on out, none of you can call me ginger except other gingers. And don't pull that "I was saying 'gingA'" crap.

He also attacked farmers with sexual innuendo in another tweet on Dec. 26, 2009. “Horticulture sounds like Whore-tit-culture, those sick fuck farmers are probably whacking off onto their crops right now,” Wright-Piersanti wrote in that tweet.

The rest? Not so much. Some are inappropriate attempts at humor (the Jew Year one, the Mohawk Indian one) and some are just comments that happen to contain ethnic terms (Indian girls grinding on each other at such and such bar), but none are especially virulent. Particularly since they were made 10 years ago, 5 years before his NYT employment.

Also, Sebastian Gorka and Breitbart generally using shitty jokes to insist that the other guys are the racist ones and getting in "bigots like The Squad" jabs is pretty shameless. But, hey, it's Breitbart.
Anyways, he has to go. You cannot be allowed to stay on a major newspaper with that poor of judgment.

Except for the standard for everyone else the NYT among other MSM progressive totalitarians use for anyone who ever said anything that could be construed as remotely racist or sexist.
 
The NYT that hired and defended Sarah Jeong? I'm just shocked.
 
Weird.

I kinda found the Happy Jew Year joke funny
 
come on guys; he deleted his tweets, so obviously he is sorry and we should pretend like none of this ever happened
 
Leftists being hypocrites again?

Is normal.
 
Seems like there is a lot of antisemitism on the Left as of late.
 
thing is, as a Jew I think you can be "antisemitic" if it's funny. His jokes just weren't funny.
 
The only thing about this that I really care about is the inevitable double standard. You know if he was on the right he would end up not working for a decade and the left would hold it against him forever. This guy will get a pass or be forced to serve some minor penalty (if anything) and then all will be forgiven and it will be forgotten like it never happened.

Lmao@NYT being on the "left"

The same rag that fired war correspondent/socialist Chris Hedges for being against the Iraq War.

The same rag that is at war with Bernie Sanders.

The NYT is a mouthpiece for the 1%. Nothing more, nothing less.
 
So far the two people on the left who have given a considerate response feel that he should be suspended and fired, respectively (and we're two of your scary boogeymen). I don't think you're going to find a lot of progressive or Democratic support for those tweets coming from a senior editor of the NYT.
