Stuart Seldowitz, former advisor to Barack Obama, has been revealed to have launched a string of racist tirades against a food vendor in New York City. Seldowitz has been seen in three videos (so far) harassing the vendor for seemingly no reason, boasting about killing Palestinian children (‘it wasn’t enough!’), talking about using the Quran as a toilet, asking if he rapes his daughter ‘like Mohammed did,’ and threatening to have the man deported. Seldowitz apologized after the videos emerged, citing regret for his actions, and claims that the comments were said ‘in the heat of the moment.’ And that he repeatedly went back for more ‘in the heat of the moment’ arguments for some reason. However, the damage to his reputation has been done. Lobbying firm Gotham Government Relations, who listed him as Chair of Foreign Affairs, immediately announced that he didn’t work for them and that they were cutting all ties with him (yes, in the same statement). New York Attorney General Letitia James also condemned the incident, emphasizing a zero tolerance policy on Islamophobia.
