LA councilman’s aide resigns after Holocaust jokes about Amy Schumer
A senior aide to a Los Angeles councilman has resigned after being slammed for making Holocaust jokes about Amy Schumer.
“Amy Schumer is particularly sensitive to Jewish deaths due to her experience in the Holocaust. The Nazis named a concentration camp after her. It was called Da Cow,”Androsky, a former comedian who is Jewish, replied by stating that “it’s f–ked up that you would say this about her when you know it was actually Cowschwitz,” an apparent reference to Auschwitz, where more than 1.1 million people are believed to have perished.
The aide, who initially deleted his posts and then his entire account, did not respond to multiple inquiries from the LA Times for comment.“With antisemitism on the rise in recent years and especially in recent weeks, cracking jokes about the holocaust isn’t just disgusting, it’s dangerous,” the pol, who chairs the council’s civil-rights committee,“These antisemitic and misogynistic posts sickened me, and I have accepted his resignation effective immediately,” he added.
The incident apparently began early Friday, when the TrueAnon account targeted Schumer after she posted a political cartoon derided as offensive to Gazans and to protesters seeking to end the Hamas-Israel war.Jake Flynn, a spokesman for Councilman Bob Blumenfield, said his boss was “appalled.”
