"Louis Farrakhan is a notorious antisemite and racist who has long invoked hateful and conspiratorial rhetoric against the Jewish people," Meredith R. Weisel, the ADL’s D.C. regional director, told Fox News Digital.
"It is deeply troubling that D.C. Councilmember Trayon White would seek to honor someone who is an out-and-out bigot," Weisel continued. "As someone who has himself invoked antisemitic tropes in the past, we hope that White will reconsider his support for Farrakhan."
