There’s nothing like a Democratic Rep. talking about his relationship with Louis Farrakhan and “the Jewish question.”
Meet Rep. Danny Davis, who serves the 7th Congressional District of the state of Illinois.
Spoke on the phone with @RepDannyDavis today — Davis confirmed he's buddies with Farrakhan, said he wants people to get over the whole anti-Semitism thing: "The world is so much bigger than Farrakhan and the Jewish question and his position on that and so forth" — Story to come

Here’s the actual pullquote from the Daily Caller story. Context doesn’t help Mr. Davis at all.
“That’s just one segment of what goes on in our world. The world is so much bigger than Farrakhan and the Jewish question and his position on that and so forth. For those heavy into it, that’s their thing, but it ain’t my thing,” he said
Wow. Can you get more disgusting than that?

We’ll wait to see how the double-standard Left handles this one.
"The Jewish question" evokes some pretty damn stark connotations. https://t.co/jMtdhLym66

It is a terrible quote and a terrible look for Democrats.
