Blackstone's Schwarzman: 'I Was Accused by People of Being a Nazi'

Content originally published at iBankCoin.com

At CNBC's Delivering Alpha conference, Blackstone's CEO, Stephen Schwarzman told Michelle Caruso-Cabrera that after the Charlottesville mayhem, he received hundreds of defamatory emails, many calling him a 'nazi', borrowing the narrative of the far left group ANTIFA. This is especially absurd, since he's jewish.

But don't let logic get in the way of all that pent up anger and hatred.

Schwarzman on being called a nazi by idiots and why he decided to disband the business council with the President, saying the public discourse applied too much pressure on the CEOs in the group -- making it untenable.

Bonus: The NY Times published fake news on his reaction to Trump's comments following Charlottesville.
