From Fox News: Progressive Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, one of the top Democratic candidates for New Jersey governor, was caught on video applauding and embracing radical Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan as he calls White people “demons” and calls for violence as retribution.
Farrakhan, 91, is a longtime radical antisemite preacher known for making inflammatory statements against Jews, White people and LGBTQ individuals. He has also praised Adolf Hitler as a “great man” and has become one of the most controversial religious figures in the United States due to his derogatory comments about Israel.
The video – taken in 2004 at a Newark church – shows Baraka introducing Farrakhan to the congregation by calling him a major personal inspiration and “the leader of every Black person.”
The full speech is viewable on the Nation of Islam website.
“I don’t think that there’s any man today, present today, that has the kind of moral authority or spiritual strength,” Baraka gushed while introducing Farrakhan.
During Farrakhan’s speech, Baraka stood and applauded when Farrakhan said, “The cracker hit you on your jaw, you break his neck. That’s the way we think.”
Baraka applauded again when Farrakhan called White people “the enemy.”
“Now the enemy comes in. You, the Crips, and the Bloods, they’ll send people in to give you rumors about your brother over there. These demons will even kill a policeman and then blame it on you. You dealing with a devil, man. You’re not dealing with righteous people. This cracker is the real devil. And you better wake up and realize that,” Farrakhan said as Baraka applauded.
During the speech, Farrakhan also spoke against Black people joining the military, saying, “I better not catch you in no d— Army uniform fighting for the enemy.”
