YouTube creator Ms. Rachel apologized after accidentally liking an antisemitic comment while trying to delete it.

YouTube personality Ms. Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, apologized after accidentally liking an antisemitic comment on her Instagram post, which read “Free America from the Jews.” She said the action was unintentional, occurring while she tried to delete the comment, and emphasized she does not support antisemitism, has Jewish family and friends, and deletes such content. The post had included a list of “Free Palestine, Free Sudan, Free Congo, Free Iran,” drawing scrutiny over her political messaging. Accurso, known for her children’s content, has been vocal about Gaza children’s welfare and was recently named to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s inaugural committee. Critics argue her past posts and associations suggest a pattern of amplifying controversial and misleading narratives, raising concerns about accountability despite her apology.
