Austin Franco, the Cornell University student who refused to attend a job interview because he’s “not interested in working for a Jew,” was kicked out of his home Saturday by his parents. In a post on X, he asked for help: “Any support you can provide would be greatly appreciated, as would any advice. I have reiterated that my parents do not share my views, and it seems they no longer wish to provide me with a home to live in. I know the road ahead will be difficult, but this is the path I chose.”
My parents are kicking me out.

He added that while he could have chosen to live a “more conventional life,” he chose “a different path than most.” The student, who recently clashed on air with British host Piers Morgan, stood by his antisemitic statements: “I don’t regret anything I’ve done. If I died today, at least I would know I died believing in myself.”
I have created a GiveSendGo for those who want to support.
I will try to find something in the meantime and work things out. I’ll keep you guys posted.
The job I had sort of fell through, but I’ll try to find something else. Feel free to comment with… https://t.co/MLcw5itp6F

Morgan confronted Franco after he refused to attend a job interview, saying he was “not interested in working for a Jew.” At the start of the interview, the host demanded he explain exactly what he meant—while Franco claimed: “I’ve had bad experiences with Jews. They were harassing me and making things up to get me in trouble.” The student then compared Jews to other populations: “Say you’re around ten midgets, and all of them are really mean to you, they step on your feet. You’re going to say: ‘Okay, I don’t want to be around them anymore.'”
The “Not interested in working for a jew” kid went on Piers Morgan and blabbered about midgets.

Morgan fired back: “What you just said is more ridiculous, isn’t it? What on Earth has this got to do with, as you put it, midgets? I find it incredibly depressing that a young man given the privilege that you’ve had, to go at a top university can be this thick. Or worse, not care about what you’re saying and the consequences to a huge number of people around the world, who see a young, arrogant kid who wants to brazenly espouse antisemitism.”

This kid applied to our job on handshake, we accepted him, and then he responded this.
He probably knows nothing about Jews accept for what they tell him in college and on social media. Sad world. pic.twitter.com/6dFhpT7iST— Gabe Einhorn (@EinhornGabe) June 8, 2026
