South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn shared a stage with Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan, a notorious racist and anti-Semite Clyburn's office declined repeated requests to denounce Farrakhan Democrats are currently split on whether or not to denounce Farrakhan.
The third-highest ranking House Democrat shared a stage with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, a notorious racist and anti-Semite, and has refused to condemn the hate group leader.
South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn attended a 2011 event with Farrakhan and shared the stage with him, even after Jewish groups voiced their opposition to Clyburn attending the event.
His office declined repeated inquiries regarding whether the congressman is willing to condemn Farrakhan, and whether he stood by his decision in 2011 to shrug off criticisms of Farrakhan.
California Rep. Barbara Lee and New York Rep. Gregory Meeks both condemned Farrakhan on Thursday, but other House Democrats known to have met with Farrakhan have yet to condemn him.
Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, also the deputy DNC chair, condemned Farrakhan while first running for Congress in 2006 and assured the public that he had left Farrakhan in his past.
Rep. Davis compared Ellison's relationship to Farrakhan to that of a fallen-away Christian's relationship with Jesus, in an interview with TheDCNF. "I don't know that Keith knows Farrakhan as well as I do - in fact, I know he doesn't," Davis said.
