One cappuccino, hold the antisemitism, please
A man’s daughter has to use the bathroom in New York City. The man ducks into a coffee shop, asks the barista if his daughter can use the restroom, and when she says yes, he orders coffee as a thank you and leaves her a big tip.
TL;DR
- Rep. Dan Goldman was denied service at a coffee shop after his daughter used their restroom.
- The coffee shop posted on Instagram accusing Goldman of supporting "genocide" and stating they do not serve such individuals.
- Goldman, who is Jewish, has opposed certain aid to Israel, which angered some progressive Democrats.
- The Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Harmeet Dhillon, announced an investigation into the coffee chain for potential discrimination.
- Glenn Greenwald criticized Dhillon, comparing the situation to the Masterpiece Cakeshop case, but the article distinguishes the two based on refusal of service versus refusal to create a message.
- The article suggests that for Jewish individuals, the Democratic Party may no longer be a safe space.
