Two Congressmen say the New York Times should fire a political editor who made a series of online posts about Jews, including one that said: “one of my resolutions is to be less anti-Semitic.”

Tom Wright-Piersanti made a slew of posts on his Twitter page that share antisemitic and racist sentiments.
