“Hey Congressman Dan Goldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee. Do you see how it doesn’t taste like genocide juice?” Poetica Coffee wrote in its Instagram post.
A New York City coffee shop has banned a congressman over his support for Israel, and now the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has launched an investigation into the incident.
Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman stopped into Poetica Coffee on Sunday so that his daughter could use the bathroom. To thank the establishment for allowing her to do so, he bought a cup of coffee.
Hours after the visit, the coffee shop posted a message on Instagram, saying that they’d refunded his money over his support of Israel, the New York Times wrote.
“Hey Congressman Dan Goldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee. Do you see how it doesn’t taste like genocide juice? Or are you still having a hard time telling the difference?” the post stated, which included a photo of the congressman at the counter.
“See, here at Poetica, we don’t serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers, or anyone in between,” the now-deleted post continued. “Too bad we didn’t recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away. We issued you a refund—we don’t need your money (it’s probably coming from AIPAC anyways). Enjoy your loss on Tuesday. Don’t ever come to Poetica.”
That’s ok, he doesn’t need their coffee anyway. poetica can go to Hell !!
