Is this the ultimate in hypocrisy or what? The same members of the Congressional Black Caucus who do not let a day go by without calling President Trump a racist, happily embrace Screwy Louis Farrakhan.
This is the same Farrakhan that praises Hitler, calls Jews “Satanic’ and says all white people should die. The CBC met secretly with Farrakhan in 2005 because they were afraid of the fallout. Today there are 21 members of the CBC who were members of the CBC back in 2005.
All 21 refuse to condemn Farrakhan and his overt racism. He is so bad that even the ultra-leftwing Southern Poverty Center calls the Nation of Islam a hate group.
From The Daily Caller
The 21 CBC members, all Democrats, include high-profile Trump critics like Maxine Waters and Al Green, who have long demanded the president’s impeachment.
Both Waters and Green are on tape hugging Farrakhan in 2006, a year after the CBC’s secret meeting with the hate group leader. The videos of Waters and Green resurfaced in a Wall Street Journal column following the publication of a photo of former President Barack Obama smiling with Farrakhan at the 2005 meeting.

So, the next time you hear them say that Trump is a racist consider the man who they don’t think is racist.
