CAN LA RAZA BE FAR BEHIND:
Louis Farrakhan's Praise for Trump Shows That the Donald Appeals to Bigots of All Colors (Eric Levitz, 3/0/16, NY Mag)
Sublime.Days after a former KKK grand wizard said that white voters who oppose Trump are betraying their heritage, Nation of Islam founder Louis Farrakhan praised the Donald's efforts to get Jewish money out of politics.Donald Trump "is the only member who has stood in front of Jewish community, and said I don't want your money," Farrakhan said in a Sunday sermon, the Anti-Defamation League reports. "Any time a man can say to those who conĀtrol 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."Farrakhan seemed to be referring to Trump's appearance before the Republican Jewish Coalition last December, when the mogul told the gathered Jewry, "I don't want money, so, therefore, you're not going to support me because, stupidly, you want to give money ... You want to control your own politician."
