Video footage has surfaced of congressional Democrats embracing Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, including California Rep. Maxine Waters.
In 2006, “the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity held hearings in New Orleans and Gulfport, Miss., on the federal government’s response to Hurricane Katrina,” wrote Jeryl Bier for The Wall Street Journal. “After the New Orleans hearing, at least four CBC members headed to St. Augustine Church to meet Mr. Farrakhan, who had attended part of the hearing.”
Farrakhan is well known for his anti-Semitic and racist remarks.
“The powerful Jews are my enemy,” declared Farrakhan, who once openly praised Adolf Hitler. “Jews were responsible for all of this filth and degenerate behavior,” the black supremacist figure stated in a “Saviors’ Day” address in February, according to the Washington Examiner.
