“The least they can do is speak English”.

Another video shows a man who appears to be Schlossberg chanting “Milo (Yiannopoulos)” at a protest previous year, and railing against “fake Jews“. During the rant, he accuses the Spanish speakers of being undocumented immigrants. Someone posted video showing the attorney yelling at restaurant employees for speaking Spanish to two regular customers.
Isaac Saul, an editor and columnist at the website A Plus, wrote Wednesday that he recognised the man as someone he had encountered last May at a far-right rally protesting political activist Linda Sarsour’s commencement speech at City University of NY.
A mariachi band will play at the office of a lawyer who insulted two restaurant workers for speaking Spanish on Wednesday. I paid for their welfare, I paid for their ability to be here.
New York City lawyer Aaron Schlossberg recently came under fire for his racist rant inside a Mexican restaurant but it wasn’t his first time sparking up controversy.
In the video, Schlossberg approaches Morris and immediately begins berating him, demanding to know what country he’s from and saying, “I’m a citizen, you’re not”. You don’t just run into people. Video from 2016 has also surfaced of the man apparently involved in another confrontation on a Manhattan street, where he calls another man an “ugly (expletive) foreigner”.
For a guy who had a lot to say in the presence of kale and employees in Kelly green shirts, Schlossberg was relatively tight-lipped when the New York Post sent a reporter to confront him about his comments.
– A man identified as a NY lawyer went on a racist tirade Tuesday at lunchtime at Fresh Kitchen on Madison Avenue at 39th Street in Manhattan. In hours following the tweet revealing Schlossberg’s identity, his law firm got pummeled with one-star Yelp reviews. “Defaming me. I can’t even move, because they’re blocking me”. The company says its policy for news making businesses is to remove posts “that appear to be motivated more by the news coverage itself than the reviewer’s personal consumer experience with the business”.
Meanwhile, in a letter Thursday to the state court disciplinary system, Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.) and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.
Building security for Schlossberg’s law office told the Daily News they’d bar him from entering the Madison Avenue building, but Schlossberg denied the claim.

In addition to the state grievance, New York City’s Commission on Human Rights said that it was aware of the episode but that it could not comment further. Check out the wild video of him running away from reporters below!
