A Cornell University student who applied for a summer internship with a Jewish-owned NYC startup rejected the opportunity with a hateful message: ‘Not interested in working for a Jew,” the shocked CEO posted on X.
Austin Franco put his antisemitism on full display when he passed up an interview with VryfID because its co-founders Gabe and Aiden Einhorn are proudly Jewish.

By the way, I expected a guy named Mohammed. Not this time.
Hat tip to the NY Post for not ignoring this story.
Pretty stupid guy. If he felt that way, they why did he apply for a job with them in the first place. Ignorance knows no bounds when it comes to the Left.
Sounds fair to me. It’s his loss. Let’s hope the CEO who posted it has proof before it’s deleted.
This past week I was listening to part of the Shawn Ryan Show podcast, I generally enjoy listening to podcast, this time they discussed how the USA was an occupied country, occupied by the Jews and something needed to be done about it.
It was actually shocking listen to Shawn Ryan and his guest openly discussing how to deal with the problems created by Jews.
It seemed they had been transported back in time to the early 1930s in Nazi Germany discussing how to solve the Jewish problem.
The kid REALLY wouldn’t want to serve a Jewish King!
Then why did he apply in the first place?
Just so he could turn it down and show people (hint: future employers!) how stupid he is?..................
What a wet-behind-the-ears looking kid.
Hopefully he’ll be embarrassed as hell at his juvenile antics in ten years.
(I wonder what his prospects are, now that many possible employers know his name and face...)
Is Austin Franco a leftist?
Even though I think he should not have said this he says he has had problems in the past ““My experiences with Jews have not been pleasant, both in person and online. This is not to say I haven’t had positive experiences, but on the aggregate that is not the case,” Franco wrote” so he doesn’t want them in the future.
I can understand that but now by making a big deal out of this they are attempting to ruin his career, his life with encouraging anger and hostile behavior towards him. That pretty much makes what he was saying in the first place valid. Once again he’s having unpleasant, to say the leat, experiences with Jews.
SNAFU
> Then why did he apply in the first place? <
My guess: The kid is either very stupid or he sent out a lot of applications automatically.
It could be both.
> That pretty much makes what he was saying in the first place valid. <
Huh? It’s the company’s fault that this story is being reported?
Many CEOs would not let an overtly racist (and personal) comment like that slide. Decline to work for, say, a Mexican company because you don’t like Mexicans and that story just might make the news.
The kid pushed, and the company pushed back. He ruined his own career.
Nonsense. If this is an accurate story and his career winds up ‘ruined’, he did it to himself.
Antisemitism is growing in ways that my generation can scarcely believe; and I don’t blame Jewish people for alerting others to such attitudes.
Why apply if he feels that way. Pretty stupid and they aren’t making it bad, he is by doing so as far as I am concerned.
And they call us fascists!
Not only Jewish owned companies would reject him; but MOST companies have some Jewish employees at times. Why would any company owner want a trouble maker like this?
I’m not sure this really happened. It was a post by the CEO on X.
The best job I ever had in my long life was working for a Jewish family-owned firm. The bosses even visited me when I was in the hospital. I still miss them after 55 years.
The kid’s got a ‘Give-Send-Go drive posted; and the story has appeared in the Cornell student paper and the College Fix:

> I’m not sure this really happened. <
You are quite correct to be leery of anything posted on X. Anyone there can post pretty much anything.
But this story comes from the NY Post. MSN reported on it as well. So I’m thinking they probably did some due diligence first.
And the sign said
"Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why
He said, "You look like a fine, upstanding young man
I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that
Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh
