Martha's Vineyard rocked as famous MAGA lawyer MISGENDERS food stall owner who refused to serve him
Dershowitz showed up to Good Pierogi again on Wednesday to ask that they sell to him after the vendor previously refused to because of 'his politics.'
As he asked for pierogis, the lawyer repeatedly referred to stand owner and chef Krem Miskevich as 'he,' enraging them.
'My pronouns are they/them, and you know about this, and you continue to misgender me,' Miskevich told Dershowitz.
The lawyer then corrected himself and said his issue was not Miskevich's gender identity.
'You are they, you are them. I'm happy to use whatever pronouns you want,' he replied, 'This is not about that.'
Last week, Dershowitz claimed Miskevich did not want to sell to him because they are anti-Zionist and protesting against Israel. The lawyer launched a campaign against the vendor, sharing his intent to sue over the incident.
However, Miskevich said the issue was that Dershowitz once defended pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Dershowitz helped Epstein secure what many have called a lenient plea deal from the Miami US Attorney's Office in 2008 that led to him only serving 13 months jail.
'I personally know too many sexual abuse survivors. Mr. Dershowitz consciously decided to befriend and defend men who have been accused of abusing and harming women,' they said.
'In our minds and hearts, selling to Alan Dershowitz was the equivalent to supporting his decisions and statements.'
After the spat went viral, Dershowitz went back to the pierogi stand, saying he was doing so 'in an effort to try to restore community and to ask you to sell me pierogi in the interest of keeping the island together so we don't have to have two pierogi stands: one for anti-Zionists and one for people who will sell to anybody.'
Dershowitz also tried handing Miskevich a signed copy of his book, which the chef declined.
'I am very surprised that you're here because of the things that you've been saying about us and the business online,' Miskevich said. 'I really do not appreciate what you've been sharing in the last week.'
After the crowd starting changing, 'Time to go!,' Dershowitz proceeded to leave the market without pierogis, defeated.
Dershowitz told Daily Mail last week that Miskevich said they wouldn't sell to him because they didn't approve of his politics.
In a post on X, Dershowitz declared that he would be 'suing' and called the Good Pierogi a 'bigoted vendor.'
'The clear implication was that he opposed me because I defended Donald Trump on the floor of the Senate,' Dershowitz said.
Dershowitz was one of the lawyers who defended Trump in his first impeachment trial in 2020.
He was also part of the 'Dream Team' that convinced a jury to acquit O.J. Simpson in his 1995 murder trial.
This is not the first highly public spat that Dershowitz has had with someone on Martha's Vineyard.
Back in 2021, he and Larry David - whom he was friends with for 25 years - got into a screaming match at a general store, according to Dershowitz.
The comedian was reportedly furious that Dershowitz patted Trump's former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on the back, which was first reported by PageSix.

DOGE tore through National Weather Service like a tornado with mass firings. Many are being rehired
After Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency tore through the National Weather Service in a blur with firings, the government has rehired many of its employees, NBC News reported. The rehires come after a summer where extreme weather incidents put the cuts to the National Weather Service under increased scrutiny. Specifically, one government official told NBC that staff at the service believe floods in Texas and the aftermath sparked the rehiring spree. Reps. Mike Flood (R-Neb.) and Eric Sorensen (D-Ill.) said that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration received permission to fill 450 positions at the National Weather Service including meteorologists, hydrologists and radar technicians. 'For months, Congressman Flood and I have been fighting to get NOAA and NWS employees the support they need in the face of cuts to staff and funding,' Sorensen said. 'Hundreds of unfilled positions have caused NWS offices across the country to cancel weather balloon launches, forgo overnight staffing, and force remaining meteorologists to overwork themselves. While I welcome this overdue news to hire more meteorologists, we need to pass our bipartisan bill to ensure these new hires are permanent and protected from any future cuts.' Flood, a Republican, also hailed the move. 'For decades the National Weather Service has helped keep our communities safe with accurate and timely forecasts,' he said in a statement. 'This announcement from the administration sends a message that they're focused on strengthening the NWS for years to come. I applaud the decision and will continue to work to support the agency's critical work.' But the relief will likely not come soon. A NOAA official also told NBC News that it will likely take months to fill the vacant positions. the website for jobs within the federal government, lists nine positions across NOAA, the parent agency of the NWS. DOGE made steep cuts to the agency earlier this year, much the chagrin of many. It was part of DOGE's efforts to shrink the federal workforce early in the Trump administration. In May, CNN reported that the . The NWS even offered to pay expenses for moving for reassignment opportunities. The cuts to the NWS came under further scrutiny after deadly flooding in the Hill Country of Texas led to 135 deaths, including youth campers and counselors. The Commerce Department and NOAA fired more than 600 probationary workers, including hurricane hunters, meteorologists and storm modelers. Five former directors of the NWS said that staff shortages led to a needless loss of life. The National Weather Service also suspended weather balloon observations – which measure data on temperature, wind speed, humidity and other benchmarks used to predict severe storms – after the staff cuts to NOAA cuts.

Idaho murders crime scene photos seen after Kohberger sentencing
Chilling photos taken inside the Idaho home where Bryan Kohberger slaughtered four students have been released for the first time, revealing a bloody and violent crime scene. Creepy handprints are seen pressed against the windows in one of the rooms while blood spatters are visible on the white painted doors. Other distressing images show the student bedrooms and beds where some of the victims were murdered in their sleep. Best friends Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves, both 21, were stabbed to death in Mogen's bed in her room on the third floor of the home. The sliding door to the kitchen on the second floor of the home is seen ajar in another photo - the way Kohberger left it after he both entered and exited the house through the back entrance. More than 200 distressing images, obtained by KTVB7 from Moscow Police, were released weeks after the 30-year-old mass killer was sentenced to a lifetime behind bars. The criminology PhD student broke into 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho, in the early hours of November 13, 2022, and stabbed the four students to death. Kernodle, who was still awake having just received a DoorDash order - suffered more than 50 stab wounds, including two to the heart and multiple defensive wounds. Chapin died from a stab wound to the jugular and his legs had also been slashed. Goncalves was stabbed more than 20 times and her face was 'unrecognizable' after Kohberger beat her with a second unidentified weapon. Mogen had stab wounds to her forearm, hands, liver and lung as well as a huge gash from her right eye to her nose. Two other roommates - Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke - were also inside the home at the time but survived. The net closed in on Kohberger after he left a brown leather Ka-Bar knife sheath behind at the scene. DNA on the sheath came back a match to the criminology student, who was living just over the state border in Pullman, Washington, at the time. Kohberger fought the charges for more than two years before he finally confessed to the murders and changed his plea to guilty last month, as part of a plea deal to spare him from the death penalty. On July 2, he pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. On July 23, he was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole and also waived his right to appeal. Since the sentencing, a sweeping gag order in the case has been lifted and police have begun releasing records and documents from the investigation. As well as the crime scene photos, surveillance footage has also been released showing Kohberger's white Hyundai Elantra circling the victims' home multiple times on the night of the murders. The video, first reported by the Idaho Statesman, shows Kohberger staking out the scene and making three loops around the student neighborhood from around 3.30am onwards. At around 4am, Kohberger then parked his car and broke into 1122 King Road. Police said Kohberger took just 13 minutes to carry out his murderous rampage. At around 4.17am, the video - captured by a neighboring home's security camera close to Kernodle's bedroom wall - picks up what sounds like a cry and a loud thud. A dog - believed to be Goncalves' pet Murphy - is then heard barking. At 4.20am, Kohberger's car is seen a final time in the footage speeding away from the area. The footage also captured a DoorDash delivery driver dropping off a food order for Kernodle minutes before the killer struck. Despite Kohberger's change of plea and a growing body of evidence coming to light, many questions still remain in the case. When given the opportunity to speak at his sentencing in Ada County Courthouse in Boise, Idaho, Kohberger refused to reveal any details about the murders - leaving the victims' families in the dark. His motive remains a mystery and no connection has ever been found between him and the victims. Police have said Kohberger targeted 1122 King Road that night but it is unclear which of the victims was his specific target. Cell phone data found Kohberger was surveilling the student area in the lead-up to the murders. From July 2022 through to November 13, 2022, his phone placed him in the vicinity of the King Road home at least 23 times, mostly at night. The victims had also noticed a string of bizarre incidents at the home in the weeks before the murders . Around one month earlier, Goncalves had told multiple people she had seen a man watching her in the trees around the home when she took Murphy outside. Friends also recalled multiple occasions when, during parties at the home, Goncalves's dog would run barking into the tree line and wouldn't return when he was called. This was out of character for the dog, they said. On November 4, 2022 - just nine days before the murders - the roommates then came home to find the door to their three-story house open. It is unclear if Kohberger had broken into the home prior to November 13, but Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson said he believes it is possible.
