A D.C. lawmaker is facing criticism after he posted a video blaming snowfall in Washington on the Rothschild family, echoing a long standing anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.
The Washington Post first reported the video, posted to Council member Trayon White Sr.’s official Facebook page, which shows the Democrat driving through a snowfall in the capital.
“Man, it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man. Y’all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation,” White says in the video. “And D.C. keep talking about, ‘We a resilient city.’ And that’s a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful.”
