Louis Farrakhan Joins List Of Extremists Praising Donald Trump

Nation of Islam (NOI) leader Louis Farrakhan’s 2016 Sav­iours’ Day ser­mon on Feb­ru­ary 28 at the NOI’s Mosque Maryam in Chicago, Far­rakhan made anti-Semitic accu­sa­tions of Jew­ish gov­ern­men­tal con­trol while prais­ing pres­i­den­tial can­di­date Don­ald Trump.

While Part 1 of Far­rakhan’s 2016 Sav­iours’ Day ser­mon last week at Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena largely avoided the topic of Jews, in Part 2 of his ser­mon yes­ter­day, Far­rakhan stated that Trump “is the only mem­ber who has stood in front of Jew­ish com­mu­nity, and said I don’t want your money. Any time a man can say to those who con­trol the pol­i­tics of Amer­ica, ‘I don’t want your money,’ that means you can’t con­trol me. And they can­not afford to give up con­trol of the pres­i­dents of the United States.” How­ever, Far­rakhan also dis­tanced him­self from a full endorse­ment of Trump stat­ing, “Not that I’m for Mr. Trump, but I like what I’m look­ing at.”

Not surprised he'd overlook Trump's racism against African Americans to promote his own dog whistles.

And people think this asshole is a leader in the black community. We don't want him and we sure as hell don't like what were looking at!

Wow. Farrakhan seems to have just admitted that anti-semitism is more important to him than Islam.

If there's anyone left in 'Nation of Islam' with independent thought, I think they'll be planning to remove him from power, using this as evidence.
