Racist lawyer defended Trump’s Mexican ‘rapists’ comments

Newly released video shows the Midtown lawyer who was caught spewing racist comments at Spanish-speaking restaurant workers defending President Trump’s infamous statement that Mexico is sending “rapists” to the US.

“He didn’t call Mexicans rapists. He said the people coming over here are rapists. But it’s true, you idiot!” attorney Aaron Schlossberg is shown screaming at a man while counter-protesting at a rally.

“Some of them are! Some of them are!”

Schlossberg, wearing a shirt emblazoned with “American” and flanked by men wearing “Make America Great Again” hats, also calls his verbal sparring partner “a loser.”

“You’re fat and ugly. That’s losing, that’s losing. Do I like I’m losing to you? I’m winning at life, you’re losing. I’m smart,” he says.

Schlossberg then performs a bizarre dance in the direction of another protester that looks like a mash-up of a boxing stance and a hand jive.

During a 2015 rally, Trump famously declared, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best.”

“They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people,” the future commander-in-chief said.

During a visit to Fresh Kitchen on Tuesday, Schlossberg was caught on camera threatening to call immigration officers on Spanish-speaking workers to have them “kicked out of my country.”

“My guess is they’re not documented, so my next call is to ICE to have each one of them kicked out of my country,” he yelled.

“If they have the balls to come here and live off of my money — I pay for their welfare, I pay for their ability to be here — the least they can do is speak English.”
