Dec 23, 2016 · A man, subsequently identified as Brooklyn lawyer Dan Goldstein, who allegedly verbally harassed Ivanka Trump on a JetBlue on Thursday, was suddenly short on words when cameramen caught up with him at SFO airport.
Daniel J. Solomon is the former Assistant to the Editor/News Writer at the Forward. Originally from Queens, he attended Harvard as an undergraduate, where he wrote his senior thesis on French-Jewish intellectual history. He is excited to have returned to New York after his time in Massachusetts. Daniel’s passions include folk music, cycling, and pointed argument.
Dan Goldstein is an all-too-common name, as more than one New York law firm found out after one Daniel Jennings Goldstein, a lawyer, heckled Ivanka Trump aboard a JetBlue flight to Florida last week.
Matthew Lasner is a professor at Hunter College, as he made clear in the bio of his Twitter account, which he has since deleted.
Lasner’s tweets about the Ivanka Trump incident are a bit contradictory. The first one says that his husband chased Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner down to harass them. Lasner adds the hashtag #banalityofevil.
Lasner did not name his husband in any of the tweets above. But based on the acknowledgments of a journal article of Lasner’s written earlier this year, his husband can be identified as Daniel Goldstein.
