AG on California claim: ‘Anywhere in the country, if you do this, we’re coming after you’
By Bob Unruh
Amid a Trump administration war on anti-Semitism, which has moved from a number of universities with such policies to the broader scope of American society, a lawsuit has been filed by the Department of Justice over the alleged actions at a California coffee shop.
And the action was accompanied by a warning from Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“You can’t do that. And so we’ve sued them, and we’re going to stop this from happening. And anywhere in the country, if you do this, we’re coming after you,” she said.
Newsweek reports a lawyer, Glenn Katon, for the “Jerusalem Coffee House,” denied all the accusations it refused to serve Jews.
“Neither the owner nor staff are anti-Semitic, and they would not tolerate anti-Semitism in their cafe,” Katon said.
The action alleges the coffee shop denied service to two customers wearing the Star of David, which the owner denied.
