Google PlayA man dressed in a Nazi uniform was met with well-deserved vitriol when he walked into Fanelli’s, a bar in New York City, over the weekend.
Footage of the incident shows the unidentified man getting questioned by a patron for his choice of attire as he approaches the bar. The situation seemed to only get worse from there. According to the New York Post, the bartender refused to serve the guy, leading to his departure, but not before their encounter grew increasingly hostile.
“Fuck you mate,” the man in the Nazi uniform said, to someone who responded, “You want to get fucked up? [Leave] for your own safety.” Another person walked over to ensure that the unwanted individual not only left the establishment, but didn’t even think about returning.
The newspaper spoke with a hostess during their brunch shift the following day about the man in the Nazi uniform, and they said no one had ever seen that person before.
The incident comes at a time where it seems as though anti-Semitism among notable figures is on the rise, most notably by the artist formerly known as Kanye West, who claims to have “lost two billion dollars in one day” after Adidas, Balenciaga, and other companies cut ties with him over a slew of anti-Semitic remarks.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving went back-and-forth with a reporter during a post-game press conference Saturday night after he shared a link to a documentary that makes a number of anti-Semitic claims.
