POLS’ GrIEvANCE TO STATE COUrT

HISPANIC politicians gave a Bronx cheer Thursday to the xenophobic lawyer caught on camera berating customers and workers about speaking Spanish in a Midtown restaurant. U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat (DBronx) and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. filed a formal grievance with a New York State court disciplinary committee against Aaron Schlossberg . “What was witnessed in the vile video from Mr. Schlossberg, which has since gone viral, is a humiliating and insulting attack on the more than 50 years of progress that this nation has made since the Civil Rights movement,” the officials wrote to the state court’s First Department disciplinary committee. A customer recorded Schlossberg in Fresh Kitchen complaining about employees speaking Spanish to other customers and colleagues. “The audacity to profile and verbally assault innocent bystanders and customers in a public commercial location is a violation of our civil society,” the pols wrote. “We watched Aaron’s video and we were disgusted.”
