Cornell student who said he's 'not interested in working for a Jew' is given $11k from supporters

 UK Daily Mail   

"Young Mr. Franco sounds like he experienced FAFO. His parents should have taught him some manners. A simple “I’m not interested” would have prevented all of this." Reader comment...

"A Cornell student caught in a whirlwind of controversy after declaring that he was 'not interested in working for a Jew,' has received more than $11,000 from supporters who blamed Jewish people for trying to 'ruin' his reputation. 

"Austin Franco, 19, sparked a fierce debate on social media after he turned down an interview at a tech start-up over the founder's Jewish faith. 

"Gabe Einhorn, the 24-year-old chief executive of VryfID, an anti-fraud platform, jumped on X to share the message he received from Franco on the college career platform Handshake. 

"He included a screenshot of Franco's comments, which read: 'Not interested in working for a Jew. Thanks.' 

"Yet, after receiving mountains of backlash over his comments, supporters began appearing and rallying behind the Ivy League student. 

"A GiveSendGo was even made for Franco, which garnered over $11,400 as of Monday afternoon. 

"An account on X, which operates under the username Lord Miles, said he created the fundraiser and wrote: 'I’ve created a givesendgo with 100% of proceeds going to him. jews are doxxing this man and trying to ruin his career. I cannot let that happen.'

"The user, who is known for controversial content, verified an X account previously believed to be connected to Franco, which has a bio that reads, 'Standing by my principles: honor, integrity, and loyalty.'" . . .  More...

Greta Thunberg might find him to her liking if he doesn't mind her keffiyeh.
