Los Angeles City Council Aide Resigns After Making Antisemitic Comments About Amy Schumer

Josh Androsky, senior advisor to Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez, resigns following controversial comments on social media involving Amy Schumer and Holocaust puns, amidst denouncements from civic leaders including L.A. Mayor Karen Bass.

Josh Androsky, a senior advisor for Los Angeles City Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez, has resigned following antisemitic and misogynistic comments about comedian and actress Amy Schumer.
Androsky took part in an online thread mocking Schumer's sensitivity to Jewish deaths due to her family's Holocaust experience and made derogatory puns revolving around Nazi concentration camps and Schumer's weight.
Both Soto-Martinez and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass condemned these remarks, with the latter stating that City Hall must be a beacon of hope and not hate, and she was glad Androsky had resigned.
Androsky had engaged with a controversial street post on the social media platform known as X, started by the 'TrueAnon' podcast, which targeted Schumer for her posts criticizing pro-Palestinian protests against Israel.
Androsky, who is of Jewish heritage and has been active in city politics, deleted the offensive posts and his account, but not before screenshots of his comments began circulating, leading to his resignation.
