Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) stopped at Poetica Coffee in Brooklyn with his young daughter to use the restroom. Hours later, the café owner posted Goldman's photo online and called him a 'genocide-enabler,' saying staff would have turned him away if they had recognized him. The incident was reported by reports.
New York Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY) was the target of a public confrontation at a Brooklyn coffee shop Sunday. According to a report by reports, Goldman stopped at Poetica Coffee with his young daughter to use the restroom. Hours later, the café owner posted Goldman's photograph online, branding him a 'genocide-enabler' and stating that staff would have refused service had they recognized him at the time.
The incident follows a similar pattern of hostility toward Jewish elected officials in the US. As The Zioneer reported on June 22, another New York City coffee shop previously barred a Jewish congressman, telling him 'We don't serve genocide enablers.' That earlier incident drew widespread condemnation and was covered by multiple outlets including The Times of Israel.
Goldman's office has not yet commented on the latest confrontation. The café owner's online post remains up, and the shop has not issued a public statement. Details about the exact timing and whether any official complaint has been filed are not yet available.
