Dan Goldman, a Democratic congressman from New York, has said it is “sad” that a Brooklyn coffee shop banned him over his views on Israel – a move that has put the cafe under investigation by the Trump administration’s justice department.
Goldman represents New York’s 10th congressional district and holds pro-Israel views. He made the “sad” remark to CNN after Brooklyn’s Poetica Coffee banned him in a viral, since-deleted social media post after a visit from him on Sunday.
