A few words of Spanish unleashed a torrent of hate speech from a racist, ranting Manhattan lawyer.
The Madison Ave. meltdown by attorney Aaron Schlossberg included a threat to sic federal immigration officials on workers at a Midtown restaurant — because they failed to speak English in his presence.
"He heard us speak Spanish and started yelling, 'You motherf---ers!'" recounted Oscar Villanueva, a Honduran immigrant and employee of the Fresh Kitchen.
"He said we have to speak English," continued Villanueva. "He started saying a lot of ugly words ... We felt really bad, humiliated."
A viral video of the Tuesday lunchtime explosion captured the xenophobic Schlossberg announcing the employees were in "my country" before invoking the threat of deportation.
"My guess is they're not documented," Schlossberg announced loudly about the staff. "So my next call is to ICE to have each one of them kicked out of my country. If they have the balls to come here and live off my money?
"I pay for their welfare, I pay for their ability to be here. The least they can do is speak English."
Schlossberg, 42, is a registered Republican and 2016 donor to President Trump's campaign. His company bio claims he is fluent in Spanish and conversational in French.
The babbling barrister's identity was exposed and his reputation trashed less than 24 hours after his nationalistic natterings. He disappeared Wednesday without comment on the mess.
Internet trolls unloaded on Schlossberg as his offensive opinions zipped through cyberspace, with hundreds giving his law firm one-star reviews or posting insulting photos.
Customer Deena Suazo, 34, a local medical receptionist, said she had just ordered her lunch in Spanish when Schlossberg exploded.
She watched in disbelief as he screamed at a counter worker to "give me my f---ing sandwich!" Suazo, an American native with Puerto Rican roots, was shaken by the hate-fueled outburst.
"It's disgusting to me, in this day and age, that people think it's OK to walk around the be disrespectful and racist," she said. "That's what the United States is made of, all cultures and ethnicities."
The videotaped portion of Schlossberg's volcanic monologue began with the lawyer lecturing the store manager about bi-lingual workers speaking in Spanish.
"Your staff is speaking Spanish to customers when they should be speaking English," he barks. "Every person I listened to — he spoke it, he spoke it, she's speaking it.
"This is America. Your staff should be speaking English, OK?"
The fuming man then informed the manager that he planned to follow up by contacting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for a possible raid on the restaurant.
The manager said he was infuriated by the lawyer's remarks but refused to respond in a similar fashion.
"He's a customer, so I had to stay professional and ask him to leave," the manager said. "That's what I did."
The front desk at Schlossberg's Madison Ave. office building was turning away all visitors at his request, and the phones in the office were turned off.
A person answering the phone at his Manhattan residence hung up without a word Wednesday.
