Overview
- During a Tuesday appearance on The View, Mayor Zohran Mamdani declined to address specific posts and instead highlighted his housing agenda, citing $30 million in repairs secured by his tenant office.
- Archived screenshots show Chief Equity Officer Afua Atta-Mensah’s now-deactivated X account included remarks disparaging liberal white women and a 2021 reply reading, “Tax Them To The White Meat!!!”.
- Atta-Mensah’s personal X account was deactivated within about a week of her Jan. 15 appointment, with the New York Young Republicans Club publicizing the posts.
- City Hall says it did not instruct appointees to delete social media accounts, and it has previously defended tenant-office director Cea Weaver after criticism of her past posts.
- No resignations or personnel changes have been announced in response to the controversy, as critics continue to demand explanations from the administration.
