The New York Times has said it is “reviewing next steps” after one of its senior editors was discovered to have made a series of offensive tweets a decade ago, including antisemitic statements.
Tom Wright Piersanti, a senior staff editor who has worked for the newspaper for the last five years, was found to have tweeted a number of offensive comments over a period from 2009 to 2010.
Us news outlets reported he tweeted in January 2010: “I was going to say ‘Crappy Jew Year’ but one of my resolutions is to be less antisemitic. So … HAPPY Jew Year. You Jews.”
In another tweet, he posted a photo of a menorah on a car, along with the words, “Who called the Jew police?”
