‘Tax them to the white meat!’ Mamdani’s new ‘equity officer’ posted now-deleted X posts against white women.
The administration of the newly inaugurated New York City mayor was rocked by yet another controversy over bigoted posts on social media that were later deleted.
Afua Atta-Mensah ridiculed liberal white women in the posts on the X platform before being named the chief equity officer of the city by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
‘The anti-white racism of Mamdani’s inner circle will be on full display for all New York to see.’
“There is no one I trust more to advance racial equity across our work in City Hall,” Mamdani said about Atta-Mensah when he appointed her to the office.
The social media posts were unearthed by the New York Young Republican Club, according to the New York Post.
In one post, she wrote emphatically, “Tax them to the white meat!” in reference to a show about wealthy people.
In another post from 2020, she reposted a message reading, “There’s NO moderate way to Black liberation,” and added a comment in approval.
She also criticized white liberals and white women in some posts, including one that responded positively to the statement, “we don’t talk about white liberal racism enough.” She replied, “Facts! It would need to be a series of loooooonnnnnnnggggg conversations.”
In another, in response to the question, “Who’s not police but FEELS like police to you?” she wrote, “White women at nonprofit organizations.”
Mamdani named Atta-Mensah to the equity office on Thursday before the NYYR released screenshots of the posts that were apparently deleted soon after her elevation.
“We have the receipts and we are here to win,” reads a statement from the NYYRC. “These tweets by Afua Atta-Mensah are just the tip of the iceberg and New York is not going down without a fight. The anti-white racism of Mamdani’s inner circle will be on full display for all New York to see.”
Although Mamdani has only been in office for less than three weeks, a number of members of his team have been found to have issued extremist statements.

Mamdani’s housing czar had issued many statements advocating for the state to take control of housing while calling homeownership a tool of “white supremacy.”
Another aide had advocated for the abolition of police, while yet another said that real terrorism comes from capitalism and their pawns.
The Post said City Hall did not respond to requests for comment about its equity director.

‘Outraged’ Mamdani demands release of Venezuelan working for NY City Council — but DHS says he’s a ‘criminal illegal alien’
Socialist Democrat Mayor Zohran Mamdani called for the immediate release of an illegal alien who was detained by federal immigration officials while he was trying to complete a routine immigration appointment.
Fifty-three-year-old Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez is originally from Venezuela but was working as a data analyst at New York City Hall before he was detained.
‘This is an assault on our democracy, on our city, and our values. I am calling for his immediate release and will continue to monitor the situation.’
“I am outraged to hear a New York City Council employee was detained in Nassau County by federal immigration officials at a routine immigration appointment,” the mayor wrote on social media Tuesday.
“This is an assault on our democracy, on our city, and our values,” he added. “I am calling for his immediate release and will continue to monitor the situation.”
Bohorquez is being held at a detention center in Manhattan.
In a statement at a media briefing, New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin said Bohorquez had been detained despite “doing everything right.”
“DHS confirmed that this employee had gone in for a routine court appointment and was nevertheless detained. They provided no other basis for his detainment,” Menin said. “On the contrary, he was a City Council employee who is doing everything right. He went to the court when he was asked.”
She went on to say the man was a victim of “egregious government overreach.”
Authorities claim that Bohorquez had a previous arrest for assault, according to WABC-TV, and Department of Homeland Security said he did not have work authorization to stay in the U.S.
New York City Council contradicted the claims from DHS.
“Contrary to claims by DHS, the City Council employee provided documentation showing he was authorized to remain and work in the country,” they said to Newsweek. “He fully cleared all background checks. Any suggestion to the contrary is false.”

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said that he had entered “on a B2 tourist visa in 2017 that required him to depart the U.S. by October 22, 2017” and called him a “criminal illegal alien.”
“He had no legal right to be in the United States,” she added.
