"Someone needs to inform the bigoted mayor that he may think that his statement avoided the question, but it didn’t. His avoidance of criticism of the treatment Goldman received spoke volumes about his views on antisemitism."
"New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has made his hatred of everything Israel well known. That tone has filtered down through the citizens and has emboldened antisemites to display their own bigotry and hatred.
"Because of their tendency to unify over issues even when they know they are blatantly wrong, I have no love for any Democrat. That said, what Poetica coffee did to Rep. Dan Goldman is outrageous, and what they said when they doubled down on their hatred is even worse.
"Goldman, who is Jewish, stopped at one of the Poetica coffee shops and asked a barista if his seven-year-old daughter could use the bathroom. The barista obliged him, and out of respect, Goldman purchased a coffee.
"Then, in an Instagram post that has since been deleted, which included a surveillance image of the lawmaker standing by the register, the firm informed Goldman that he was not welcome at any of their shops ever again.
- “Hey @repdangoldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee. Do you see how it doesn’t taste like genocide guide? See, here at Poetica, we don’t serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers, or anyone in between. Too bad we didn’t recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away. We issued you a refund; we don’t need your money (it’s probably coming from AIPAC anyway). Enjoy your loss on Tuesday. Don’t ever come back to Poetica.” . . . More...
