Democrat Says He Was Banned From Coffee Shop. Business Takes Down Instagram Page.

A Brooklyn coffee shop told Democratic New York Rep. Dan Goldman not to come back to the business because it does not serve “racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers or anyone in between.”

Poetica Coffee claimed on social media that it would have turned Goldman away if they had recognized him. The shop’s Facebook post included a photo of Goldman standing at the register and a photo of an unsolicited $9.82 refund issued to him.

“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 reads. “See, here at Poetica, we don’t serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers, or anyone in between.”

The post, which remained live as of publication, included the song “Fuck You” by Lily Allen. The coffee shop deleted its Instagram account after the post went viral, according to CNN.

“I had such a nice interaction with the barista in the coffee shop. She was wearing a hijab, I didn’t know her, but she couldn’t have been nicer and allowed my daughter to go use the bathroom, and I honestly was so grateful for her kindness that I felt like I should buy a coffee, and so I did, and I gave her a large tip,” Goldman said in a statement to CNN. “It’s a reflection, I think, of a sad state of affairs that without knowing me, we could have had such a nice interaction.”

The pro-Israel Goldman will face left-wing former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander in the Tuesday Democratic primary for New York’s Tenth Congressional District. Both Goldman and Lander, who has the endorsement of New York City Mayor
