Millionaire banker who allegedly punched woman at Brooklyn Pride event preached importance of ‘empathy’

The millionaire investment banker who allegedly slugged a woman in the face during a Pride event in Brooklyn over the weekend once touted the importance of having “empathy” and an “understanding” of others.

Jonathan Kaye, a managing director at Moelis & Co., was identified by social media users as the man caught on camera punching the woman and sending her crashing down onto a Park Slope street Saturday night.

In the wake of the brutal footage going viral, a podcast interview the Wall Street executive gave last year quickly resurfaced in which he preached about mentoring junior bankers and the keys to success.

“You should learn the hard skills as fast as you can, but in the end, it’s really the skills of grit and resilience, learning how to listen, understanding what is motivating other people, and empathy — those are the indispensable skills that separate you from a calculator,” he told the “LSE Focal Point Podcast.”

Elsewhere in the wide-ranging interview, Kaye spoke about his “rough” start in the industry and how “Wall Street could be a merciless place.”

“I learned some of the basic concepts that probably seem obvious, but when you’re in your 20s, you kind of have to learn them all from scratch,” he said.

“Those are things like doing what you say you’re going to do, being consistent, carefully managing your reputation, carefully managing difficult people, and staying away from toxic people.

Was it a woman? Saw a post on mrs. rktman’s FB page about “pride” month the other day. Said, “I hope homophobes have a very uncomfortable month!”. Thanks for being tolerant of others opinions right?

This appears to be a deceptively edited video. She was number two as it appears number one was picking himself up off the ground to her left.

The man in the suit jacket is just as likely to have been a victim who fought back.

What was thrown on him and why doesn’t the video show the before.

Here’s an idea. Put Hillary on the SCOTUS. Let her defend these people. We’re ahead now 6-3. If one of the leftist judges quits Trump agrees to play the game-his word is good. Hillary would only have to stay alive until 2029 hopefully.

What does Trump get? Fewer riots. A good bill or 2 passed during confirmation hearings. Puts her away-beats locking her up. Bill states home with the ‘hired’ help.

A real woman, or a man pretending to be one?

“They” are an indoctrinator, uh, I mean teacher. As expected right.

Way down in the article you didn’t read:

““She f–king threw s–t all over me,” the man, believed to be Kaye, can be heard saying.”

Awful reporting by the NYP.
