Farrakhan has long been criticized by many Americans as a racist and anti-Semite, but has had close ties with several prominent Democrats and was photographed with President Barack Obama in the past. Farrakhan’s previous extreme comments included praise for Adolf Hitler as a “very great man,” blaming Jews for the 9/11 attacks, and saying white people “deserve to die.”

Several House Democrats have met with Farrakhan — including Democratic National Committee Deputy Chair Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, who attended a dinner with Farrakhan in 2013 hosted by Iran President Hassan Rouhani. Two other members of the Congressional Black Caucus — Reps. Andre Carson, D-Ind., and Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., also attended the dinner.

In recent memory Farrakhan has said it’s “blasphemy” for disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein to label himself a “Jew,” blasted the FBI because, according to him, it is controlled by “Jews,” and tweeted, “to hell with you and your political correctness. Be a man! Be a woman! Speak the truth and then die on that truth if it comes to that.”

“Israel has no permanent home in our Holy Land. The Holy Land does not belong to a White Arab or a White Jew. You are settlers on our land,” he tweeted in 2017.
