DC councilman promotes anti-Semitic conspiracy theory in Facebook video
As a few snowflakes fell in D.C. Friday morning, one D.C. Council member took to Facebook to vent about the weather, embracing an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that a wealthy Jewish family is controlling the weather.
“It just started snowing out of nowhere this morning. Y’all better pay attention to this climate control,” said Trayon White Sr. (D-Ward 8) in the March 16 Facebook video shown above, courtesy The Washington Post.
“It’s climate manipulation and D.C. keep talking about ‘we are 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.”
The Rothschild family is a wealthy family of bankers from Europe who have been the subject of many conspiracy theories stemming from anti-Semitic prejudice that allege they are manipulating world events to their advantage.
The Washington Post said they reached out to White for clarification, to which he wrote, “The video says what it says.”
