'Shock jock' Rosenberg says he apologized to Mayor Mamdani for calling him a 'cockroach'

A City Hall spokesperson said Rosenberg did not contact the mayor directly. “Time will tell how sincere of an apology it is,” Mamdani said on Wednesday.

Yeah, though I have a guess what time will reveal.

Rosenberg has a history of incendiary remarks. He referred to tennis legend Venus Williams as an “animal” and once referred to the U.S. Women’s Olympic soccer team as “juiced-up dykes.” He also mocked singer Kylie Minogue’s breast cancer diagnosis.

Time didn't stop him from making this new remark. And, hey, when reading that archived article linked in the original post:

He has also called female soccer players "juiced-up dykes," claimed "removeds play tennis," and said Palestinians were "stinking animals."

Hm! Yeah, going to need a lot of time to believe that he means it.

Sounds like he's angling for some free publicity.

If you are new yorker isn't calling someone a cockroach the same as calling them family.
