Even liberal bastions like uber-blue New York City aren’t immune to the surge of racism unearthed by Donald Trump’s presidency.

Early this morning, Twitter political activist Shaun King posted a video of a nameless white man losing his mind over two women conversing in Spanish with one another in midtown Manhattan.
Who this this bigot in Midtown Manhattan? What's his name?
Please share this.
Here he is harassing & insulting two women for speaking Spanish…TO EACH OTHER in the middle of Manhattan.
Trump has empowered ugly white people like this to say whatever they feel like saying. pic.twitter.com/WbHlet6H7c

“Who [is] this bigot in Midtown Manhattan? What’s his name?” King asked before offering a brief recap of the incident.
The internet never seems to disappoint, and once again the digital Nazi identification squad found identified the miserable man:
Please let Attorney Aaron M. Schlossberg of Midtown Manhattan know I’m trying to get in touch with him. I have a few questions.
If you reach him, ask how often he eats at the Fresh Kitchen next door to his office and if he has a problem with people speaking Spanish there. pic.twitter.com/8pgQ6wZNzi

Dear Midtown Manhattan Attorney Aaron M Schlossberg,
7 of your college classmates from @JohnsHopkins & @GWtweets contacted me and said this is you & they aren't surprised.
I am asking the New York Bar Association (@nysba) to also look into your bigoted hate here & across NYC. https://t.co/8pF1nzQtDu

“Please let Attorney Aaron M. Schlossberg of Midtown Manhattan know I’m trying to get in touch with him,” King taunts in an updated tweet featuring a screenshot of his law office’s information on Google Maps (including the address) and a few photos confirming his identity.

He says he speaks FLUENT Spanish in his company bio. Isn't that something else? America: Where an affluent white man can capitalize on his ability to speak Spanish yet threaten to have Latinos deported for it–their native language!!– at the same damn time. It's too much. pic.twitter.com/WXfjdmEtiE

As is often the case with racists like Schlossberg, this is not his first offense. Another Twitter activities Jordan Uhl dug up an old video by another Twitter user, Issac Saul. Saul caught Schlossberg on camera last year repurposing Trump’s second-favorite slogan, “fake news!” and applied it to people of his own background whom he found to be “fake” themselves:
The asshole lawyer caught on video mad about people speaking Spanish in NYC that @ShaunKing is calling out?@Ike_Saul caught him on video yelling "You are not a Jew" to Jewish people last year.pic.twitter.com/rSl2rpnmZw
