“You are why people don’t like Jews. You are exactly where the term ‘Jew you out of something’ came from.”
Via Free Beacon:
A Democratic operative who was at the center of the 2013 “Progress Kentucky” scandal went on an anti-Jewish tirade against a political client he claimed owed him money, according to an audiotape published on Monday.
Jacob Conway, the former Jefferson County Democratic Party official who made national news after he outed two Progress Kentucky activists for secretly recording a Mitch McConnell campaign meeting in 2013, was caught on tape lashing out at one of his clients, Daniel Grossberg, a Democratic candidate for state treasurer.
The tape was first reported by Insider Louisville on Monday, and audio was published by PageOne Kentucky.
In the April 23 conversation, recorded by Grossberg, Conway claimed the candidate owed him $5,500 for consulting work and threatened to sabotage his campaign if he did not pay up.
“You are why people don’t like Jews,” said Conway to Grossberg, who is Jewish. “You are exactly where the term ‘Jew you out of something’ came from. You’re exactly why my grandfather and everybody else I know has had a hard time doing business in this city, because you’re trying to stiff me out of fucking money that you contractually owe me.”
Conway went on to slam Grossberg as a “cheap bastard son-of-a-bitch” who “couldn’t get a job as a fucking staffer on a goddamn [Louisville] Metro Council campaign.”
The Democratic consultant complained that he needed the money from Grossberg to go to the Kentucky Derby.
“I can’t go to Derby this year,” fumed Conway. “The one thing—I don’t believe in Jesus, I don’t believe in God, I don’t like Christmas, I don’t like Thanksgiving, I don’t like anything. The only holiday that I like is Derby. And because of you owing me money, I can’t go. And your refusal to pay. You have now ruined my Derby.”
