Former Obama official filmed racially abusing Muslim vendor in NYC

A New York City food truck worker who was racially abused and threatened by a former Obama administration official says he is “terrified” of reprisals.

Mohamed Hussein, 24, told The Independent how former National Security Council adviser Stuart Seldowitz ridiculed his religion, taunted him about his immigration status and threatened his family in Egypt during three separate encounters at the Adam Halal Food Cart on New York’s Upper East Side.

Mr Hussein recorded Mr Seldowitz as he unleashed a torrent of abuse, and the videos have since gone viral after they were posted to social media.
