Councilman Charles Barron Barron got up to the podium at the Tuesday event and accused Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other officials of disrespecting him.
City University of New York trustee Jeffrey Wiesenfeld stood up from his seat in the front row and accused Barron of being disruptive. The two men shouted at each other for several minutes.
Barron claimed afterward that he was originally seated in the audience instead of the event podium and that students he brought with him were not allowed into the event.
The groundbreaking was for the $259 million Fiterman Hall at the Borough of Manhattan Community College. The school had been condemned since the Sept. 11 attacks.
i spent this past shabbos with jeff and his family jeff always puts his dedication to yiden first despite political backlash jeff keep fighting antisemitisim at
c.u n.y city college kol hakavod
Its about time someone put this clown in his place, and no better person then Jeff Wiesenfeld to do it. Yasher Ko’ach to Mr. Wiesenfeld for this and all you do for the Tzarchei Tzibbur.
whats with these people and their need for “respect?” if you dont “respect” them, its a whole racial thing?! It must just be that I am a honky.
Barron deserves to be shouted at
Jeff,
Keep doing what you do. It’s about time someone stood up to this anti-Semitic race-card blowhard!
Weisenheim was totally out of line and should appologize to the Councilman. He had no business interrupting and should be excluded from participation in CUNY events until he commits not to repeat this disgraceful behavior which is borderline racist.
230 million dollars for a community college for deadbeats? CUNY should be shut down all together. All they do is waste billions of dollars on all their campuses producing students who can’t get careers with their dusty diplomas.
whatever happened to “chillul Hashem”? Where are all the “dina demalchusah” lunatics?
Oh… I forgot “Jeff” isn’t a chussid.
Wow, This guy Baron gets a paycheck from NYC to speak such hatred. 51 members of a city council that is a total waste of City Money. Is there any value in having them? Charles Baron, Anti-Jewish and a blot on NYC.
how crazy has america become that anyone who disagrees with a black person becomes a racist????this is complete madness that they abuse the term.
This guy was elected??
He played the race card no fewer then six times. How many decks does he have? He must have gotten some from Obama who was smart and didn’t use it on the campaign trail
