An employee was behind the posting of articles calling for the assassination of a member of Congress and claiming that the governor of Texas wanted illegal immigrants slaughtered, the New York Post said on Oct. 27.
“The New York Post’s investigation indicates that the unauthorized conduct was committed by an employee, and we are taking appropriate action,” a spokesperson for the paper told media outlets in a statement. “This morning, we immediately removed the vile and reprehensible content from our website and social media accounts.”
