An aide to an L.A. councilman traded Holocaust jokes about Amy Schumer. Now he’s out
LA TimesLos Angeles City Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez, pictured earlier this year, said an aide who exchanged Holocaust jokes about comedian Amy Schumer has resigned. A high-level aide to Los Angeles City Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez resigned from his post Friday after facing criticism for making Holocaust jokes about the comedian Amy Schumer on social media. “These antisemitic and misogynistic posts sickened me, and I have accepted his resignation effective immediately.” The Androsky incident appeared to have begun Friday morning, when the social media account for TrueAnon, a podcast, took aim at Schumer, who had posted a political cartoon derided as offensive to Palestinians living in Gaza and to protesters seeking to end the bloodshed there. Naomi Goldman, a onetime spokesperson for former Councilmember Mike Bonin, said Friday on her own social media account that Androsky’s career should be placed “on the no-fly list.” “I would have vastly preferred to see Josh Androsky swiftly fired by with a strong leadership stance vs letting him decide his own outcome,” she wrote.
