Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s whiz-kid spin doctor \u2013 under fire for allegedly threatening a whistleblowing ex-staffer to US Senate hopeful Graham Platner \u2013 brazenly admitted to blasting out nude photos of himself in a resurfaced blog post.<\/p>\n

Morris Katz, the 27-year-old campaign guru who helped catapult Mamdani to Gracie Mansion, made the bizarre confession while defending disgraced former California lefty Rep. Katie Hill in a November 2019 blog post after she quit Congress.<\/p>\n

The openly bisexual ex-lawmaker resigned that month amid a storm of affair allegations involving multiple staffers \u2013 and right after a trove of leaked nude photos were published online.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve sent nudes and I\u2019ve received nudes,\u201d Katz blithely admitted in the Medium post titled \u201cKatie Hill Resigned for Our Sins.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to reach a cultural understanding where sexual photos that were consensually exchanged get deleted once their relationship ends or either side no longer consents,\u201d he wrote. <\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody I know knows someone whose nudes have been circulated,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s become an accepted part of teenage (and evidently adult) male culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Washington Free Beacon was the first to report on the blog post Tuesday as Katz faced renewed scrutiny over his alleged involvement in the snowballing saga involving Platner, the Democrat running to unseat Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins in Maine.<\/p>\n

A Bangor Daily News report Sunday alleged he attempted to browbeat former Platner campaign staffer Genevieve McDonald into denying claims that the married oyster farmer sexted with multiple women after marrying his wife in 2023.<\/p>\n

The report alleges he pressured McDonald, the Platner campaign\u2019s former political director, in an effort to block a Wall Street Journal report on the candidate\u2019s alleged lewd messages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the story goes in its current iteration, we\u2019ll communicate directly on the record, and by name, that Genevieve violated the personal trust of Amy and Graham and shared explicit falsehoods to sabotage the campaign,\u201d Katz told McDonald through an intermediary, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

After his alleged dirty political antics were exposed, Katz whined online that it was \u201cno one\u2019s f\u2014king business\u201d what happened between Platner and his wife, Amy, before he started his run for office.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The political hotshot also fumed about \u201cincompetent, opportunistic operatives\u201d who \u201cprioritize vengeance over decency.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sordid scandal and Katz\u2019s brazen explicit snap confession are the latest controversies to hit Platner\u2019s high-stakes bid to unseat Collins.<\/p>\n

Katz and his firm, Flight Agency, are also advising Mamdani-backed former City Comptroller Brad Lander, state Assemblyman Micah Lasher and other lefty campaigns this election cycle, The Post reported Monday. <\/p>\n

His business partner at Fight Agency, Rebecca Katz, previously said in a statement: \u201cMorris handled this situation like a political professional. It was all above board. He continues to be one of the best in the biz. The hysteria around him is manufactured by operatives whose best days are behind them.\u201d<\/p>\n
