White man who threatened to call ICE on Spanish-speaking workers busted as Trump-loving NYC attorney

An attorney whose anti-immigrant rant went viral was also shown screaming about “fake Jews” at a pro-Trump rally.

Aaron Schlossberg was identified as the customer who loudly complained that employees at Fresh Kitchen were speaking Spanish to customers — and he threatens to call ICE on everyone after he’s laughed out of the coffee shop.

Schlossberg, whose law office is next door to the midtown Manhattan coffee shop, boasts in his online biography that he’s fluent in Spanish and conversational in French, with a basic knowledge of Mandarin Chinese and Hebrew.

He turned up in another viral video in May 2017 after taking part in a rally in support of right-wing provocateurs Milo Yiannapoulos and Pamela Geller. He’s shown arguing with protesters who gathered in support of Linda Sarsour, a Muslim activist and co-chair of the 2017 Women’s March.

The sciences, medicine, literature, music, philosophy. So many Jews are the very best in fields that enrich humanity. I've no doubt I've left many endeavors out but the Jewish people have shone in numbers vastly higher than their small population as a whole.

And then they're these assholes.

I was shopping in our local Target this morning and a third of the conversations I overheard were Spanish and another third were drifting fluidly between English and Spanish.

My wife is bilingual at work, and our kids are bilingual enough for work.

I keen enough Spanish to know what people are talking about but the concrete pathways of my brain set around English a long time ago.

People like Schlossberg seem to be most afraid that people speaking in other languages around them are talking about THEM.

It's a symptom of racist narcissism.

I'll bet Trump freaks out whenever he overhears two people in housekeeping speaking Spanish.

Good or bad, it's always about him.
