Tom Wright-Piersanti, a senior editor at the New York Times, said Thursday that he is “deeply” sorry for some past tweets and that they have been deleted.
“I have deleted tweets from a decade ago that are offensive. I am deeply sorry,” he wrote.
Tweets cited by Breitbart no longer appear on Wright-Piersanti’s page and include a January 2010 message saying, “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.”
Another seemingly deleted tweet reported by Breitbart references the “Jew-police.”
Two that have not been deleted make jokes about individuals of Indian descent and Mohawk Indians.
