Mamdani Appointee Resigns Over Antisemitic Social Media Posts
NEW YORK, NY – A newly appointed member of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s administration has resigned after controversial social media posts containing antisemitic tropes surfaced. Mamdani’s office confirmed the resignation on Thursday, citing the posts, which were made over a decade ago, as the reason for the departure.
“We take these matters very seriously,” said a spokesperson for the Mayor-elect. “The views expressed in those past posts are unacceptable and do not align with the values of this administration.”
The nature of the specific posts and the identity of the appointee were not immediately disclosed by the Mayor-elect’s office. However, the resignation underscores the scrutiny facing incoming administrations as past social media activity comes under increased scrutiny.
The incident is likely to raise questions about the vetting process for mayoral appointees and further fuel the ongoing debate surrounding online expression and accountability. Mayor-elect Mamdani’s office is expected to release a more detailed statement regarding the matter in the coming days.
