Another NYT Editor Is Being Reprimanded For ‘Offensive’ Tweets

Tom Wright-Piersanti, a New York Times politics editor, on Thursday deleted and apologized for past “offensive” tweets he posted about Jewish people about a decade ago, and the newspaper is “reviewing next steps.”

Obviously this means Hillary needs put in jail and Obama needs stripped of his post-Presidential benefits and Secret Service protection.

O/T but more of this Damn deer get more protection then children
Vermont limits the number of rounds in semiautomatic weapons during hunting season “to give the deer a chance,” Senator Patrick Leahy says while discussing gun reform legislation. “I’d like to give children who are in a school a chance; people who are going to a concert, give them a chance.”

“The idea that this last mass shooting, he fired 41 rounds in 30 seconds, that’s the kind of weapon you have on a battlefield. There’s no place for that in the United States.” https://cnn.it/2HyMCQf

There is a lot of great talent out there, many good people needing jobs. Something is terribly wrong with the NYT that they have so many awful people.

So on one hand we have the leader of the Republican Party and sitting president making racist tweets.

On the other hand a newspaper editor’s ten year old tweets, even though he is not part of any one party but instead because he works at a newspaper, this is evidence that… the Democrats are racist?

Disgusting. But we shouldn’t expect any better from the New York Times. This is who they are.

Ted Cruz

As the far Left and MSM lionizes antiSemites, vilifies israel, and stokes racial tension, will there be any accountability at the NYT?

When Progressives find racism or bigotry in their ranks, they deal with it appropriately, not excusing or condoning it. Tell me, what consequences has Trump or any other Republican faced for similar or much worse behavior?

So Trump toadies who maintain he’s “King of the Jews”…

That there are “very fine people” among (literally) murderous torch-wielding Nazis…

And that strawman reporter “Bernie Bernstein” stole the Alabama election from their child-rapist…

Have seized upon some decade-old tweets from one, obscure guy as “proof of rampant anti-Semitism within the New York Times” and “how liberal media continues (sic) to condone, promote, and celebrate racism.”

This is my shocked face.

Actually it was the Democrats that were working with the Russians to help get Trump elected. It’ll all come out when Barr issues the indictments. You’ll see.

Trent Lott was forced to resign as Senate Minority Leader after his remarks praising Strom Thurmond.

And Joe Biden’s racist words, legislations, and associations are constantly being excused as gaffes and humor.

“Happy Jew Year” - this is
A) an adult?
B) a writer good enough to be hired by the Times?

Reprimand - Good - because he’s a nasty bigot, and I doubt he’s changed in the interrum.
I mean, honestly - this is high school insult level.

Trolly troll never misses an opportunity to threadjack any TPM topic into an attack on Democrats.

Way to push GOP talking points!

On a related note, I understand Fox is hiring…
