**West Tisbury, MA** – A dispute erupted at the West Tisbury Farmers Market on Martha’s Vineyard this week when famed attorney Alan Dershowitz was allegedly refused service at a pierogi stand due to his political views. Dershowitz, a longtime summer resident of the island, claims the vendor at Good Pierogi declined to sell him the Polish dumplings, citing disapproval of his politics and past representation of former President Donald Trump.
According to Dershowitz, the vendor stated he wouldn’t sell to him because he disapproved of his politics and who he had represented. Dershowitz believes the vendor specifically objected to his defense of Trump during impeachment proceedings and his support for Israel, noting he was wearing a “Proud American Zionist” t-shirt during a prior visit.
Following the alleged refusal, Dershowitz reportedly attempted to dissuade other market-goers from purchasing from the vendor, arguing it was discriminatory. Police were called to the scene, and Dershowitz claims he was threatened with arrest for trespassing if he didn’t leave.
Dershowitz initially announced his intention to sue the market, demanding that vendors be required to serve all customers regardless of their political beliefs. However, he has since indicated that legal action may not be necessary if the market amends its rules to ensure equal service for everyone.
This incident is the latest in a series of politically charged encounters for Dershowitz on Martha’s Vineyard. In 2021, he had a heated exchange with comedian Larry David over his association with Trump.
As of Friday, neither the farmer’s market nor Good Pierogi had responded to requests for comment. The market is reportedly considering amending its rules.
