Happy whatever day it is, dear friends. The commies in the Democrat Party never cease to amaze with their tolerance for the most vile bigotry, as long as it's aimed at the right people, of course.
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's brand-new director of appointments, Catherine Almonte Da Costa, who was just tapped on Wednesday and had previously been an executive assistant to the ever-popular Bill de Blasio, bolted from her gig Thursday afternoon after some rather colorful anti-Semitic posts from her past came to light.
"Catherine expressed her deep remorse over her past statements and tendered her resignation, and [Mamdani, aka Smiley] accepted," Dora Pekec, the mayor-elect's transition team spokesperson, said in a statement to Jewish Insider.
The offending gems, dating back to 2011 and 2012, were dug up by the Judge Street Journal.
Naturally, once the story hit, the account vanished faster than a Democrat's principles when power's on the line. Screenshots preserved the classics, though: "Money hungry Jews smh," Da Costa posted on X in January 2011, according to screenshots."Woo! Promoted to the upstairs office today! Working alongside these rich Jewish peeps," this anti-Semitic slut posted in June 2011.
In June 2012, Da Costa wrote that the "Far Rockaway train is the Jew train," a reference to the neighborhood's sizable Jewish population.
Da Costa's resignation statement tried to clean up the mess: she "spoke with the Mayor-elect this afternoon, apologized, and expressed my deep regret for my past statements. These statements are not indicative of who I am. As the mother of Jewish children, I feel a profound sense of sadness and remorse at the harm these words have caused. As this has become a distraction from the work at hand, I have offered my resignation."
The Anti-Defamation League of New York and New Jersey wasn't in a forgiving mood, and why should they be? They blasted the posts on X before the resignation: they "echo classic anti-Semitic tropes and otherwise demean Jewish people."

"We appreciate Da Costa has relationships with members of the Jewish community, but her posts require immediate explanation, not just from Ms. Da Costa, but also from the Mayor-Elect," the ADL said in a statement.
This little scandal drops right as Jewish leaders are already side-eyeing several of Mamdani's transition picks, wondering if the incoming mayor, who hits City Hall on Jan. 1st, is serious about combating the skyrocketing anti-Semitism that's become the Left's favorite pastime.
One of the bigger eye-rollers is Tamika Mallory, ex-Women's March boss who got booted amid her own anti-Semitism drama, now slotted for a shiny new community safety committee.
Shocking, I know.
In Democratville, old tweets about "money hungry Jews" are just a speed bump on the road to power, until they're not. But hey, at least she has Jewish kids now, so that's all fixed, right?
The modern Left's moral compass continues to spin like a weather vane in a hurricane.
If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me a Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you. Imagine, you could be the first on your block to do that and your friends will thank you . . . for some reason.
