Saying God picked Trump, Louis Farrakhan portrays him as both truth-talking hero and racist villain
Washington Post ^ | November 16 2017 | Michelle Boorstein

Controversial firebrand Minister Louis Farrakhan Thursday invited journalists to a televised, 135-minute sermon to Donald Trump to clean up America’s injustices, seeming to side with Trump as a fellow tell-it-straight ally who calls out everyone from Pope Francis to the media.

“God has him here!” the Nation of Islam leader said, referring to Trump during the morning event at the Watergate Hotel ballroom, which was filled to capacity with more than 500 people..

no public questions were taken after the address. And it was called a message to Trump. It was laid out as a detailed history of American wrongs, from slavery to war to hypocrisy, delivered to an unexpected and unlikely president whom Farrakhan painted as perhaps best able to address such problems.

“America needs to reflect on her sins! And who is bold enough, strong enough to say to America: ‘You have been wrong for a long, long time and it is time now for you to actually see yourself as God sees you!’ This is a final warning to the government and the people of the United States of America. It’s written in the Bible, and I say this to our president: It is written that every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess.”

The fiery talk focused on injustices against African Americans and Muslims and seemed to single out a longtime favorite target of the religious leader: Jews. Running through his story of America, he said Jews were the ones who stopped African Americans’ initial progress. About 40 minutes into the talk, an assistant brought out a large poster of a Jewish star and an advertisement for a decades-old Nation of Islam-published book subtitled “How Jews Gained Control of the Black American Economy.” The poster stood beside Farrakhan for the rest of the talk...

Trump, whatever you’re doing, stop it. This is not the guy you want praising you.

Minister Louis Farrakhan is a dingbat, a race baiter like Al Sharpton ; an Islamofascist.

Thank goodness he and his organization are considered apostate ( ridda) by all Shiite and Sunni lineages.Otherwise Farrakhan would be rolling in even more wealth and would be a horrid force for evil jihad in America.He is said to be responsible for the assassination of Malcolm X.

I wouldn’t put much weight on the speech of a tyrant

Huh? Seriously, WHAT? Louis Farrakhan is piece of bleep, but you think President Trump should abide/change anything based on what Farrakhan says?

He's not a dingbat at all. He's a full-blown enemy of this country; if he had his way we'd all be dead or subservient at best.

No argument with you on that. I still think he is a dingbat.
A psychopomp, a thoroughly insane black power nationalist socialist of the first water.

Yes, a loathed enemy of America.

If Loony Fairycon is supporting you.. your doing it wrong. Jk.. actually this one puzzles me. So I will just assume he is, as usual, putting the con out for cash. Maybe later, I will try to watch the sermon.. could his Iran ties be pulling his puppet strings and filling his coffers?
He was upset at the lack of response in the Iranian spring. I’m just not ready to trust any Islamic leader after seeing their people suffer so much.

Wow that’s like something right out of 1936 Germany.

I guess losers always need someone other than themselves to blame, and, being losers incapable of new thought simply repeat the old lies.

I’ll give him this much...surprised the Wapo let it through...

“When Trump talks about fake news, he knows what he’s talking about! You say you’re the Fourth Estate, I’d say you’re in a hell of a state. You can’t say what you know is true, unless it passes the muster of your bosses.”

ISIS is against gay marriage as well. *shrug*

Doesn’t this dude think White people are demons who were created by a mad scientist? A pity he never collaborated with L Ron Hubbard.
