Lawyer suspended after sending antisemitic letter to her client — then claiming the backlash against her was 'racist and sexist'

Maryland’s Court of Appeals has suspended a lawyer after she sent a client an antisemitic letter, The Daily Record reports.

The lawyer, Amber L. Maiden, says the decision to suspend her is racist and sexist.

The court's opinion says that Maiden used “language that is antisemitic, personally insulting, profane, and otherwise inappropriate” in the letter to her client, who asked her to represent him in his appeal to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in order to win more substantial damages.

“I can tell you right now, money does not move me, the way it moves you. I would say you are obsessed with it, and that’s very unhealthy. At the risk of offending you, I am going to say, it’s probably because you’re Jewish (I think) and that seems to be a part of your culture, (with the men anyway, the women are different.)," Maiden wrote, adding that the anti-discrimination law she was basing the case on was written for her, not for the client’s “white a**.”

“I know why you’re like this. If you are in fact Jewish, this is a part of your culture, yall Jew boys and that money…you think it’s antisemitic for people to call you out … NO. It is not," Maiden wrote.

Of course, she's the real victim of bigotry here.

She got suspended for anti-Semitism?! Honestly, I am surprised by that happening, probably as much as she was.

All kinds of bigotry spewed from her poison pen. Just goes to show, anyone can be a fucking bigoted asshole!
