A Democratic DC councilman raised some eyebrows when he recorded his own anti-Semitic rant blaming Jews for the weather.
Yes, I’m serious.
Wow… just. Wow. It comes as no surprise that this dipsh*t is a HYUUGE Farrakhan fan. He even donates money to events where Louis denounces Jews.
Anyway. He decided to pay a visit to the Holocaust museum as a sort of “apology.”
Guess how that went.
JUST GUESS.
According to the Washington Post:
White, who drew widespread criticism last month when he asserted that wealthy Jews control the weather, on Wednesday made a visit to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. With him was Rabbi Batya Glazer of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington, a group that has been heavily involved in the first-term Democratic lawmaker’s public rehabilitation.
“There’s nothing more powerful than visiting the Holocaust museum for understanding the culture of the Jewish community, and our concerns about anti-Semitism,” Glazer told an uninvited reporter who shadowed the tour.
Those concerns surged after The Washington Post reported on White’s comments on his public Facebook page espousing a conspiracy theory linking the Rothschild family — a Jewish banking dynasty and frequent target of anti-Semitic propaganda — with a murky plot of climate manipulation.
White later apologized and said he did not realize Jews might consider his comments offensive. He attended a Passover Seder and a bagels-and-lox breakfast with local Jewish leaders at city hall. He did not publicize his visit to the museum off the Mall in Southwest Washington.
Things took a turn for the “WTF is wrong with this dude?” when he asserted that Nazis are “PROTECTING” a girl in an emotional picture…
The photo, taken in 1935, depicts a woman in a dark dress shuffling down a street in Norden, Germany. A large sign hangs from her neck: “I am a German girl and allowed myself to be defiled by a Jew.” She is surrounded by Nazi stormtroopers.
D.C. Council member Trayon White Sr. (D-Ward 8) studied the image. “Are they protecting her?”
Lynn Williams, an expert on educational programs at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and White’s tour guide for the day, stared at the photo.
“No,” she said. “They’re marching her through.”
“Marching through is protecting,” White said.
“I think they’re humiliating her,” Williams replied.
I’m sorry… is a freaking COUNCILMAN really this ignorant?
(Rhetorical question.)
Also with White was his staff, which had closed the office early to join the guided tour. The overwhelmingly African American neighborhoods their office represents in Ward 8 are among the city’s poorest and most isolated.
The museum allows photos for personal use, and the council member and his aides took many. As Williams explained the workings of the Nazis’ pseudoscientific race propaganda, White held up his cellphone before a poster with images of black, Native American and Australian men, titled “Rassen der Erde” — “Races of the Earth.” An aide took a shot of a pile of Torahs desecrated on Kristallnacht.
The group paused before grainy photos of German troops executing Catholic clergy in Poland by firing squad. “Were they actually manufacturing these weapons?” White asked.
Um…what?
And then POOF. Trayon was OUTTA THERE.
Moments later, White was nowhere to be seen.
Glazer, the rabbi, texted him to ask his whereabouts. He wrote back that he hoped to see her outside the museum but he had to leave soon for an event in Ward 8.
So either this guy SUCKS at time management… or is a freaking LIAR that wasn’t enjoying his Holocaust Museum tour.
You know… BECAUSE HE OPENLY HATES JEWS.
The tour, scheduled to last 90 minutes, was halfway done. Seven of White’s staff members stayed with the guide, who soon was showing them an exhibit on the Warsaw Ghetto. As she explained the walling in of Polish Jews, one aide asked whether it was similar to “a gated community.”
OMG OMG OMG OMG.
WHAT?!
You know… since those weather controlling Jews are all rich and all.
Yup. The Warsaw Ghetto was LUXURIOUS AF.
WTF?!?!?!?!
Glazer spoke up.
“Yeah, I wouldn’t call it a gated community,” she said. “More like a prison.”
The Rabbi was incredibly confused about why Trayon left.
The tour over, the rabbi praised White for being “very sincere in wanting to come here.” But she was perplexed by his abrupt exit.
“I do not know what happened, and I find it confusing,” she said.
White, it turned out, was standing alone on the sidewalk outside the museum.
I’m sorry… I thought he had to leave for an event?
He made it to the event and back in time to be there at the end of the tour?
HMM.
“I’ll be coming back to see more of the museum. I didn’t get a chance to see the whole thing,” he said. “But I think it’s a lot of education here, a lot of synergy here between what happened to the Jewish community and the African community.”
Asked why he left the tour halfway and where he went, he said nothing and held his cellphone to his ear.
He literally just stood there with his cell phone pressed up against his face. Saying nothing.
What a chump.
