Epstein's Ex-Lawyer Slams Vendor Refusing Him Service—"I Just Want to Shop"
MARTHA'S VINEYARD, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 31 – Alan Dershowitz claims discrimination after a vendor refused to sell him pierogi due to his political views, prompting a lawsuit amid debate over Massachusetts refusal-of-service laws.
- On Wednesday, Alan Dershowitz announced on The Dershow podcast that he plans to sue a West Tisbury Farmers Market vendor for allegedly refusing service over his politics.
- Dershowitz says the vendor refused service over his 'Proud Zionist' T-shirt supporting Israel in Gaza, allegedly citing political reasons.
- In one clip, a police officer explained the vendor allegedly refused service, saying `I won't sell them to you because I don't approve of your politics`.
- Chris Holbert, local resident, said police threatened to trespass Dershowitz for confronting vendors and later received free pierogi, Holbert reported.
- Amid legal scrutiny, Tracey Gallagher said success is unlikely under current precedent, citing Massachusetts law as a significant hurdle for discrimination complaints.
