From an article in this morning's news:
Nation of Islam leader and
prominent antisemite Louis Farrakhan chanted “Death to America” and
claimed that “America has never been a democracy” on Sunday during a solidarity
trip to Iran, ahead of the re-implementation of US sanctions this week.
According to Iran’s semi-official
state news agency Mehr,
Farrakhan said at a meeting with the Secretary of Iran’s Expediency Council
Mohsen Rezaei that America is conspiring against Iran.
“I understand how the enemies have
plotted against the Iranian people and I would like to stay alongside you to
stop their plots,” he said.
He also blasted American support
for Saudi Arabia, Iran’s arch-rival in the region, and added, “Satan seeks to
divide Muslims and wants them to kill each other, while God tells us in the
Quran to be united.”
Farrakhan has referred to Jews as
the “synagogue of Satan.”
When Clinton and Obama each stood with Farrakhan at events, the media yawned. Now imagine the reaction if it had been Trump instead.
