Former Obama Adviser Arrested on Hate Crime Charges After Harassing Halal Cart Employee
Complex via Yahoo ^ | November 23, 2023

Former Obama administration adviser Stuart Seldowitz has been arrested on hate crime charges after viral videos showed him repeatedly harassing a halal street food vendor in Manhattan.

As reported by ABC New York, Seldowitz was arrested after the NYPD opened up a hate crime investigation against the former State Department official. In one of several videos circulating on social media, he was seen threatening a man inside the food cart by suggesting he could call his "friends in immigration." He then makes a reference to the Egyptian intelligence agency, the Mukhabarat.

“The Mukhabarat in Egypt will get your parents. Does your father like his fingernails? They’ll take them out one by one,” Seldowitz said in one of the clips. The street cart employee asked him to leave, to which he responded, "Tell me why I should go? I’m standing here. I’m an American. It’s a free country. It’s not like Egypt."

He also asked the employee, "Did you rape your daughter like Muhammad did? ... Muhammad, your prophet... He was a rapist." The man said he didn't speak English, so Seldowitz asked if he spoke Arabic, which he called "the language of the Quaran."

We need Jews to exit the Dem party or kick out the Muslims.

Gays should be kicking them out as well.

Blacks hate Hispanics so why are they both in the Democrat party?

Working-class union people have EVERYTHING to lose from mass immigration. Why are they voting Democrat?

But if the Jews exit the Democrat party there goes the brains and the money and the MSM support. Be easier for them just to oust the Muslims.

Exactly. This guy is no anomaly for a leftist he just got out over the leftist's ski tips.

The issue, whether diversity, inclusiveness or equity, is never the agenda. The agenda is power and no one, not even yesterday's leftist darling, is ever good enough for those in power.

I heard the vendor displayed pro-Hamas sentiment which set him off but that seem to be left out of every story.

What the perp did qualifies as harassment in NYS.

This isn’t about free speech.

Though undoubtedly Deep State will try to make it so.
