Racially profiled because I am not black. I know my rights as a Trump voter [View all]

“I came out of a gay club and your driver is racist against gay people,” Ortiz said during one of the calls. “I called the police to protect myself because I know my legal rights as an American citizen that voted for Trump.”

Ortiz also vowed to make Lettman’s night “a living hell,” and, on a video call with a friend, can be heard saying, “Yo, Boo, tell me why I’m in a Lyft and the nigga fucking pulled over.”

“The nigga’s recording me without my consent, because I asked for music,” he said.

(Fun fact: New York is a one-party consent state, which means that it’s not only legal to phone record someone anytime, you can also video record people without their consent unless they have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Given that this was Lettman’s car and a share ride, we’re going to say Ortiz didn’t have that. #TheMoreYouKnow)
