An attorney who works for the Illinois State Comptroller’s office was fired for anti-Semitic rants on social media.
The attorney, Sarah Chowdhury sent private messages to an Instagram account named “Big Law Boiz.” This account was run by a Jewish lawyer who posts memes. She had written some very cruel statements including: “Hitler should have eradicated all of you.” Another statement: ” “Hopefully someone sends you anthrax or poison and you die a slow terrible death.”
Comptroller Susana Mendoza was informed of the incident on Thursday and contacted Chowdbury the same day. After she admitted to writing those statements, she was fired from her position. The South Asian Law Association also terminated her position which she was the president of the group.
