A new photo has emerged that shows former President Barack Obama posing with Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the black nationalist hate group Nation of Islam.
The photo shows then Democratic Illinois Sen. Barack Obama smiling with Farrakhan at a Congressional Black Caucus meeting in 2005. Farrakhan is known for embracing radically anti-Semitic and anti-white views, as even the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center has acknowledged.
Journalist Askia Muhammed said he took the photo but decided to suppress its publication in order to protect Obama’s presidential ambitions. Now that Obama’s political career is over, Muhammad is going public with the picture and publishing it in a new book called “The Autobiography of Charles 67X.”
The photo was first published last week by the Trice Edney News Wire, a “provocative, empowering, unapologetically Black” wire news service that interviewed Muhammad. The veteran journalist told the news service that he “gave the picture up at the time and basically swore secrecy” to protect Obama.
“But after the nomination was secured and all the way up until the inauguration; then for eight years after he was President, it was kept under cover,” he said, referencing keeping the photo under wraps to protect Obama’s career. “It absolutely would have made a difference.”
Muhammad is a veteran journalist who has won awards from the National Association of Black Journalists.
Obama’s ties to Farrakhan became an issue during the 2008 campaign, after Hillary Clinton slammed Obama for being slow to disavow the hate group leader’s endorsement.
“I obviously can’t censor him, but it is not support that I sought,” Obama said at the time, according to CNN. “And we’re not doing anything, I assure you, formally or informally with Minister Farrakhan.” Obama added: “I can’t say to somebody that he can’t say that he thinks I’m a good guy.”
Pushed by Clinton, Obama finally denounced Farrakhan, saying that “if the word ‘reject’ Senator Clinton feels is stronger than the word ‘denounce,’ then I’m happy to concede the point, and I would reject and denounce.”
The new photo shows Obama was closer to Farrakhan than he let on.
No shock whatsoever. Unfortunately, at this moment, Trump appears to be merely one more sell-out. He wants people who hate him AND America to like him, and he is willing to sell America, while begging for their adulation.
Gee...Black MUSLIM Blacks HATING AMERICANS together...how UNIQUE!! NOT!
Almost makes you wonder if there's some kind of bias going on ...
It is hardly a “bombshell” now is it? The damage is already done.
We must see a connection to Zer0's paster, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan. Note that Jeremiah Wright's magazine Trumpeteer honored Louis Farrakhan the Lifetime Achievement Trumpeteer award. The Award was presented at the 2007Trumpet Gala held on November 2, at the Hyatt Regency Chicago.
Not only is Trumpet owned and produced by Wright’s church out of the church’s offices, Wright’s daughters serve as publisher and executive editor of the magazine. The pastor obviously saw something he liked in the “controversial” leader. Wright's speech, praising Farrakhan at the gala, also stole one of his famous anti-American lines from another famous Nation of Islam leader– Malcolm X.
There is one photo that was published some years ago:
a photo of Michele with Farrakhan’s wife. I often wondered if there were photos of the their husbands together.
Wouldn’t it be awful if he could run again?
What are you talking about?
The poisonous Trump DACA proposal...haven’t you heard?
My browser says “image is no longer available.”
Hmmmmmm...
No it wouldn’t have. White guilt and cow-towed liberals and a lot of whipped neo-con Repubs were perfectly prepared to sacrifice the nation on the altar of political correctness. Heck, they overlooked his decade attendance at a black nationalist socialist church whose pastor was best friends with Farakan.
About the same time he publicly admits what most everyone already knows:
That he is also a racist, homosexual, illegal alien with an intense hate for America and American culture.
The Kenyanesian Usurper is the biggest fraud ever.
He couldn’t run the first time.
He is not a natural born citizen.
Y’all know what to do.
You know what they say about birds of a feather...
He was transparent to all of us here. He was just a fraud to the brain dead and brain washed...mostly stupid, white liberals who need to visit Oz for an implant.
Just like Je$$se Jack$on...etc...
FWIW-
Attack of the Spelling Police:
You misspelled “Chicago”. The real spelling is “Shitcago.”
BTW I was born there, but now, by the grace of God, live in the Knoxville, TN area.
