this thread is obscene. an offensive post (and im fine debating the merits of that accusation) has yielded vile attempts to *blame Jews for not speaking up in sufficient numbers against Trump* when there is NO religious group more loudly against the regime, when Jews have been the VICTIMS of Trump supporters' violence, when you would NEVER demand Black Americans more loudly condemn Trump because of all the high profile African American supporters he has.
what Slam Frank posted was distasteful and borderline bigoted, but reactions in this thread are just straight up bigotry, textbook. and as usual, when antisemitism comes from the left, its often via people too clueless to even register how hateful they are.

This managed to do it. Absolute despicable to use the visuals they did in a marketing stunt, let alone the text they added to it."
WHO is responsible for writing that post? Katie the PR person or Andrew Fox and Joel Sinensky? I want them to NEVER work again, ever. I want some accountability here.

This thread has gotten wildly off the rails and in the process is obscuring the original issue which was the post that Andrew Fox put up that featured imagery of shooting victims

Andrew Fox says he is solely responsible.

His apology is pathetic. He "realized immediately" and deleted it. And then defended it with dismissal of those offended on his personal page. It wasn't until the next day and a ton of backlash to his PR team that he wrote this apology.

The PR girl in the comments of the Instagram post "thanking people" for standing up for her... BABE, that is NOT how you do that job!!! Just apologize and move on!
The creator's joke of an "apology", blaming people for catching the post, then gassing up their supporters in the comments instead of putting forward any actual change...
Then all good will this show had has been lost with my. Andrew (creator) and Katie (PR)... I hope you're both reading this! Because NYC isn't going to forget this! I'm in no way Jewish and this joke of an apology is actually making me more angry for this situation.

The PR person is hearting people calling those who criticized her a "nutjob". Really something.
