On stage with Farrakhan during his speech were some local religious and political leaders, including Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones, and state Sen. Bert Johnson, D-Highland Park.
I'm not done yet...
and more..
Quote:
California Reps. Maxine Waters and Barbara Lee, Illinois Rep. Danny Davis, Indiana Rep. Andre Carson, Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, New York Rep. Gregory Meeks and Texas Rep. Al Green have all attended meetings with Farrakhan while in Congress, according to photos, videos and witness accounts of the meetings reviewed by the news outlet.
The report prompted the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) to call on all seven House Democrats to resign.
--
Rep. Danny Davis, a Democrat from Illinois, said in an interview with The Daily Caller on Sunday that Farrakhan is an “outstanding human being,” and that he sees the minister on a regular basis.
it's telling how desperate some posters are to make a duke/farrakhan thread into yet another one about trump

Here is an interesting timeline of all the statements Mr. Trump has made over the years about Mr. Duke:
Not that interesting. WaPo, leaves out the most important quote of all from Trump about Duke. That is he doesn't support what Duke used to stand for. Of course you and they would leave that out.
WaPo for it's part during the election tried to make Trump out as a Racist when, in the very time frame you cite, Trump had the only country club in South Florida that would admit non-Whites, AND the fact that Hillary & Bill had belonged to a Whites only club in Arkansas.
I think you need to find a better source than WaPo.
Note that in 1991, Mr. Trump knew whom David Duke was. By 2016, Mr. Trump claimed to not know anything about Mr. Duke.
I gave you plenty.
No - I don't know that Trump follows Duke. I know that according to your article - propoganda media bring up Duke to try and make it seem like there is a connection.
Do I need to bring out the video again of Jesse Jackson praising Trump for his help?
I certainly see one Democrat (Obama). The others? I do not know who they are. I assume one is Louis Farrakhan.
It is Louis Farrakhan's son in law Leonard Muhammad in front. One of his son's Mustafa who runs his security in the back then Senator Obama and Minister Farrakhan along with another Farrakhan son Joshua in back. The photo has been cropped down so the Rev. Willie F. Wilson, pastor of D.C.'s Union Temple Baptist Church is almost not seen.
Both individuals are leading lights in their respective extremist groups.
That is where the comparisons end. As Duke with his small band of White Supremacists is practically hounded on social media. While Farrakhan with his extreme anti Semitic speech is given practically free reign to say and publish what he wants without the same restrictions.
The qst becomes does Duke need to be more anti Semitic to please the gatekeepers in social media. So to avoid such censorship.
Have no doubt about it, both of these individuals are preaching hate and division. Is Farrakhan's type of hate just more palatable to easy led minds on the Left?
Must be.
As the right it has to be said has little to no time whatsoever for that guy David Duke.
How in the world is that interesting? There isn’t a single conclusion that can be drawn from that other than they have an unequal amount of Twitter followers.
I really don’t know what type of syllogistic fallacy you’re coming up with here, but you’re furtively implying that we’re supposed to draw a negative conclusion.
We've known that racism has been on the decline for years. There was the idiotic claim that Obama's Presidency increased it despite evidence to the contrary and the same lie was used with Trump's presidency supposedly increasing it.
David Duke is a fringe character. The other guy has a constituency.
Also, don't discount that followers can be bought and faked.
I have a very informational twitter acct. in a booming industry. I don't send out a lot of tweets - yet I only have 400 followers.
I wouldn't judge much by twitter numbers.
WHAAAAAT??!! You mean to tell me that in spite of your demonstrated omniscience and breathtaking wisdom, you only have 400 followers?! MY GOD!, how did that happen?
