Rosenberg said he spoke privately with his wife, his daughter and other close friends before recording the message and said he “didn’t sleep last night.”
A City Hall spokesperson said Rosenberg did not contact the mayor directly. “Time will tell how sincere of an apology it is,” Mamdani said on Wednesday.
Yeah, though I have a guess what time will reveal.
Rosenberg has a history of incendiary remarks. He referred to tennis legend Venus Williams as an “animal” and once referred to the U.S. Women’s Olympic soccer team as “juiced-up dykes.” He also mocked singer Kylie Minogue’s breast cancer diagnosis.
Time didn’t stop him from making this new remark. And, hey, when reading that archived article linked in the original post:
He has also called female soccer players “juiced-up dykes,” claimed “faggots play tennis,” and said Palestinians were “stinking animals.”
Hm! Yeah, going to need a lot of time to believe that he means it.
MAGAJew right here.
“removeds play tennis?”
He said “removeds play tennis.” Not sure if that’s a worse slur than dykes or not, but both are shitty things to say.
EDIT: Apparently Lemmy or this instance has a slur filter. It’s the F-word against gay men.
Thanks. Censorship is dumb.
I can see the slur, so maybe it’s lemmy.world
If you are new yorker isn’t calling someone a cockroach the same as calling them family.
Sounds like he’s angling for some free publicity.
