Networks Crop Farrakhan From Clinton/Jackson/Sharpton Image at Aretha Franklin Funeral

9

The very anti-semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan was at Aretha Franklin’s funeral, alongside Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Bill Clinton — all of whom stood center stage.

But according to mainstream media, Farrakhan wasn’t even there.

The MSM went out of its way to crop him from images of the funeral — and that must have been tough to do, given his very prominent presence at the key spot on the stage.

Talk about revising history.

From the Washington Times:

It was an image that caused quite a stir Friday afternoon. There on the stage presiding over Aretha Franklin’s epic funeral extravaganza was former President Bill Clinton alongside former presidential candidates Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. And immediately next to those three, in the same honored position as the ex-president and the civil rights leaders was anti-semite, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

The controversial, fringe leader who has been accused of anti-semitism, anti-white racism, anti-gay slurs, and sexism was prominently featured in the marathon television coverage but somehow didn’t show up in the social media coverage from some of America’s major networks.

It was clearly a deliberate choice to keep Farrakhan from the image thus protecting Democratic Party elder statesmen Clinton, Jackson, and Sharpton from being directly associated with the controversial hate-monger.

Given how every elected Republican is forced over and over again to “disavow” the likes of David Duke and Richard Spencer and other race-baiting figures who inject themselves, uninvited, into the conservative movement, you’d think at some point Democrats would be challenged to disavow the Nation of Islam icon.

However, Farrakhan and his movement continue to be popular, it appears, with the African-American community in major urban centers and he is celebrated by the likes of Rep. Kieth Ellison, Rep. Maxine Waters, and Rep. Andre Carson. So, apparently, mainstream Democrats like Clinton find it less palatable to alienate those voters than it is to stand up against racist, gay-bashing, anti-semites like Farrakhan.

Duly noted. And the networks who delivered protection from an uncomfortable photo-op is also so noted.

Farrakhan is thrilled to have kuffar girl perform like a slave girl . but she does it for cash. Dumb left/liberal will not get clue anytime soon.

They are aided by the dumb , ignorant Left/Liberal loons coming out of colleges/schools run by pro-jihadi left/liberal loons

And by the time they realise their stupidity they get assaulted , gang raped or murdered like this couple its too late for them https://tinyurl.com/yahupccy

Problem is they enable evil while not able to see evil thanks to pro-jihadi left/liberal indoctrination in schools/colleges where real history of islam and America is no longer taught.

Black funeral etiquette is iron-clad. DRESS BELOW THE KNEE. Someone should have told this clueless pole dancer.

The enemedia likes Islam because it resembles it so much. There is straight lying or taqqiyah and lying by omission or kitmsn. That doesn’t mean the Muslim like the enemedia or any other lib/commie who is not Muslim, but the lib/commmies think the Muslims like them. The enemeid will be surprised, ust as Foley and Sotoloff were suprised by Isis. Kayla Mueller got a suprise from them, too.

Like the way that picture of the illegal immigrant mom and her crying kid was edited to deceive the public.

“We are a world at war. The enemy is radicalized Islamic jihadists. The terrorists certainly take advantage of the politically correct madness that consumes the West. They revel, that many in the western world are frightened to speak freely. I’ve never been accused of being politically correct. I call things the way I see them. The meaning of candid speech is frequently mischaracterized or misunderstood. This is about prioritizing national security and protecting American lives. Every measure must be taken to eliminate radical Islamic terrorism and the threat it poses to the free world. My only concern is protecting the people that live in my district, my state, and my country. We must stand strong against radical Islamic terror. The fate of the free world will be determined by the courageous, not by the intimidated.” U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La

Farrakhan is Christophobic
