No big deal, just Louis Farrakhan saying Jews control the FBI. And it’s not some old clip that was just discovered … it’s from yesterday and from his own, verified account:
The FBI has been the worst enemy of Black advancement. The Jews have control over those agencies of government. #Farrakhan pic.twitter.com/DXKCRr1zpo

Notice how the audience loved it?

And it looks like Farrakhan taunting everyone by posting this explosive clip on Wednesday will finally get Dems off their collective butts and denounce this guy once and for all. Here’s Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI):
This is unacceptable in a progressive coalition or any political coalition. Antisemitism has no place in American society. We must reject this, left right and center. https://t.co/ujcRKbBkP9

With full agreement from Chelsea Clinton:
Co-sign, Senator. Thank you for speaking up on this. There is no possible compromise with anti-Semitism. We must condemn it.

Hey, at least we’ve finally found something they agree with Donald Trump Jr. on:
Strange how little coverage this is getting and how few (if any) are disavowing. It’s almost as though they condone and perhaps even agree with it. The silence is deafening. Truly sick. https://t.co/yMhT84u7Lt

And this really is a tipping point. Nick Confessore, NYT, writes that “Conservatives are right to wonder why Democrats don’t get more heat for associating with him.”

That’s a great question. Maybe Chelsea can respond?
Would either of you care to comment on the longstanding associations of a good number of Democratic members of Congress with Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam?

Or perhaps even former President Obama might weigh in? “This is not the virulent anti-Semite I thought I knew”:

Over to you, Dems. Hopefully the floodgates will open:
There is no excuse for this kind of anti-semitism. There is no explanation for this kind of hate. And there is no justification as to why so-called leaders would soft-pedal such slander or choose to remain silent. https://t.co/Ec6QtZ4bId

This guy is the equivalent of David Duke on the left. Why aren’t all Democrats who support him, including Obama and the entire Congressional Black Caucus, being called out as Nazis? https://t.co/fUl3hHy0lU

And we have questions for Twitter regarding the coveted blue check:

Wonder if @TwitterSupport will remove his verification for this kind of hate speech https://t.co/Of4Ezr3KLn
