A writer on the hit FX show The Bear has claimed that he was arrested on a train after an “old white lady” complained about how he was sitting. Alex O’Keefe, also a speechwriter for prominent Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, has claimed that police were targeting the “one Black” man on board.
