NEW: Top Mamdani Aide’s Shocking Messages About Taxing White People ‘To The Meat’ Cause Major Uproar
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly appointed chief equity officer scrubbed a social media account filled with incendiary posts disparaging liberal white women just days before taking the powerful City Hall role, records reviewed by The Post show.
The official, Afua Atta-Mensah, repeatedly used the term “comrade” online and amplified radical rhetoric, including retweeting claims that “there’s NO moderate way to black liberation.” Her X account was deleted shortly before Mamdani tapped her to oversee the city’s racial equity agenda.
“There is no one I trust more to advance racial equity across our work in City Hall,” Mamdani said in announcing her appointment.
The posts were uncovered by the New York Young Republicans Club, which said Atta-Mensah’s account went dark within a week of her Thursday appointment. The deletion came as another Mamdani aide, tenant advocate Cea Weaver, was facing backlash over resurfaced posts calling to “seize private property” and labeling homeownership “a weapon of white supremacy.”
Among Atta-Mensah’s now-deleted activity were replies and reposts criticizing liberal white women. In one exchange responding to a post that read, “we don’t talk about white liberal racism enough,” Atta-Mensah replied, “Facts! It would need to be a series of long conversations.”
Her account also showed support for aggressive tax rhetoric. In a 2021 exchange about the TV series “Succession,” she replied to a comment calling to “tax these people to the white meat” with, “Tax Them To The White Meat!!!” accompanied by clapping emojis.
We have the receipts and we are here to win. 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. https://t.co/3oRduci2ix pic.twitter.com/yH7cgMKt9z

Posts reviewed by The Post dated back to at least 2020. Mamdani’s office said it did not instruct appointees to delete social media accounts.
Before her appointment, Atta-Mensah worked on Zohran Mamdani’s campaign and previously held roles with social justice organizations. Mamdani praised her background, saying, “Afua Atta-Mensah has dedicated her career to serving the New Yorkers who are so often forgotten in the halls of power.”
Mamdani has also defended Weaver after her own resurfaced posts drew criticism shortly after the administration took office. Weaver’s prior statements included, “The Police Are Just People The State Sanctions To Murder With Immunity,” and “Private property including any kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy.” She also called for voters to “elect more communists.”
City Hall did not respond to questions about Atta-Mensah’s deleted posts.
Critics said the timing of the deletion raised red flags.
“Zohran’s team tried to be more careful after the Cea Weaver disaster, but we caught Atta-Mensah before she could scrub her digital footprint,” said New York Young Republicans Club President Stefano Forte.
“Anti-white racism is a feature, not a fringe problem, of Mamdani’s inner circle,” Forte added. “The mayor said there is no one he trusts more than Atta-Mensah to push ‘racial equity,’ and make no mistake: tweets about taxing ‘white meat’ reflect the approach of the entire Mamdani administration to reshape New York.”
