The Purveyor of Hate and the President

Aretha Franklin's funeral was held today.  It was a tribute to this great singer.  There was, however, one thing seriously wrong with it.  Sitting on the dais in the front of the mourners was Louis Farrakhan, a man who lives by pushing hatred of whites and virulent anti-Semitism.  I don't know why the people who organized the funeral had Farrakhan there.  That is their business, though.  Two seats away on the dais, however, was Bill Clinton.  Why would the former president of the USA sit on a dais with a purveyor of hatred and race war like Farrakhan?  It's unthinkable.

Imagine for a moment what the reaction would be if President Trump sat on a dais with some guy who had a connection to the KKK.  It would be Armageddon.  Indeed, if Trump sat on a dais with Farrakhan, there would be hell to pay.  Bill Clinton should be no different.  He should not be sharing a small stage with someone like this.  He didn't miss Farrakhan's presence.  The guy was two seats away and there were only 7 seats on the entire stage.

This is a total outrage.

Did The Nation pay Bill directly or to the Clinton Foundation?
