Rep. Danny Davis (D., Ill.) released a statement Thursday evening denouncing anti-Semitic Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan after J Street, a liberal Jewish group, said it was reevaluating its endorsement of him after a weak statement Monday.
A month early, The Forward reports, Davis called Farrakhan an "outstanding human being."
The congressman had also downplayed the importance of Farrakhan's anti-Semitism by saying "The world is so much bigger than Farrakhan and the Jewish question and his position on that and so forth."
After criticism from the Jewish community, Davis' statement Monday did not address his own words about "the Jewish question" and instead blamed media asking him about the controversy, although it was titled "Statement of Danny K. Davis on Anti-Semitism."
"Recently the ultra-right propaganda site The Daily Caller attempted to impugn my character," his statement began.
"History is replete with the horrific consequences of racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, Islamophobia, male chauvinism and other forms of hatred and bigotry and discrimination," Davis wrote, saying that those who promote those views are "pursuing an agenda which I will never accept."
That didn't go far enough, which his new statement,"Statement of Danny K. Davis on Anti-Semitism (Follow Up)" attempted to fix, although it still cast blame on "attempts to question my commitment to these principles because I did not specifically single out the views and remarks of Minister Louis Farrakhan in that statement."
He then specifically condemned Farrakhan, saying "So let me be clear: I reject, condemn and oppose Minister Farrakhan’s views and remarks regarding the Jewish people and the Jewish religion," and then cast more blame on people who had issues with his support for Farrakhan.
"Those who have attempted to defame me either do not know me or my lifetime record or are deceitfully and deceptively attempting to use this as an opportunity to foment division and hatred between the African American and Jewish communities," he said, adding that "for my part" he will continue to seek unity.
LIAR!! I think he’s got a very rich Jewish constituency. Calypso Louis was ALWAYS VILE AND EVIL!
I just viewed his district map....we lived in it and it is one of the RICHEST ZIP CODES in the country!!!!! (we rented)
Thats one dirty looking q tip
To be sure.
The democrat party is a branch of The Media Party and takes it's direction from them.
They are owned by the media, and are being played hard by them.
Sycophants to the media to the nth degree
“The world is so much bigger than Farrakhan and the Jewish question...”
The only people who think there is a “Jewish question” are people who hate Jews.
To pass muster with Soros’ J Street
you have to be for BDS and the destruction of Israel.
They named a restaurant chain after this guy: “Pander Express”

Journalistic malpractice, or a straight-up lie. He's denouncing The Daily Caller. He never mentions Farrakhan.
