NEW YORK (VINnews) — Gabe Einhorn says he never intended for the controversy surrounding Austin Franco, a job applicant who refused to work for a Jewish employer, to escalate to the point where Franco was reportedly asked to leave his parents’ home.

Is it insane to get kicked out of your own home for saying you don't want to work for Jews?

For sure.

But this situation has clearly escalated since the Piers Morgan appearance, and I can only assume that pushed his parents over the edge.

Franco first drew national attention during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, where he repeated his statement that he did not want to work for a Jewish employer. The controversy intensified Sunday when his story appeared on the front page of the New York Post.

Einhorn, a young Jewish entrepreneur, had previously shared messages in which Franco declined a job opportunity, saying he did not want to work for a Jew. The exchange quickly went viral, drawing widespread attention and condemnation.

“My goal was never to get this kid kicked out of his house,” Einhorn wrote in a post on X. “It was never to ruin his life.”

Piers Morgan speaks to the Ivy League student who went viral for saying ‘he’s not interested in working for Jews’.

'You've doubled down – you're proud of it! And for that reason, I don't give a TOSS what happens to you!'

Einhorn said he shared the exchange because he believed it highlighted the reality of antisemitism, not because he wanted to damage Franco’s personal life.

Addressing reports that Franco was later asked to leave his parents’ home, Einhorn said he was not in a position to judge their decision. At 24 years old and without children of his own, he said he could not pretend to know what it is like to raise a family or offer parenting advice.

Still, he said the episode should serve as a reminder for parents to pay close attention to the people and online content influencing their children. He warned that social media algorithms can expose young people to hateful ideologies and misinformation, sometimes leading them to embrace dangerous beliefs.

Einhorn said his own parents led by example rather than forcing their beliefs on him, an approach he said made a lasting impact. He ended his message by encouraging parents to tell their children they love them and to remain actively involved in their lives.
