Just a few words in Spanish were enough to unleash the fury of a New York lawyer at a Manhattan restaurant.
The video of attorney Aaron Schlossberg insulting employees of the Kitchen Fresh restaurant in Midtown, Maanhattan, went viral for the use of his words that included a threat to call immigration officials of restaurant workers because they did not speak in English in your presence.
"I think they are undocumented," Schlossberg announced aloud about the staff. So my next call is to ICE to expel everyone from my country. If you have the guts to come here and live on my money, I pay for your well-being, I pay for your ability to be here; The least they can do is speak English."
The viral video captured the attention of Internet users for invoking the threat of deportation.
A client Deena Suazo, 34, a local medical receptionist and American citizen of Puerto Rican descent, said she had just ordered her lunch in Spanish when Schlossberg exploded.
As reported by the New York Daily News, Schlossberg, 42, is a Republican donor to President Trump's campaign. His company's biography claims that he is fluent in Spanish and speaks French.
The intimidating lawyer's identity was exposed and his reputation was destroyed less than 24 hours after his nationalist actions.
The individual went missing on Wednesday without commenting on the disaster, although fury at internet trolls was unleashed on Schlossberg.
Ex-Speaker of the New York City Council, Melissa Mark-Viverito, tweeted in Spanish that the viral video "demonstrates how ignorant you are and makes it clear that you support Trump's policy to destroy our families. We reject you and everything you stand for."
A Change.org petition demanding his disqualification had 2,100 signatures on Wednesday night, while another online petition requesting disciplinary action from the state bar association collected some 1,600 signatures.
