Farrakhan has a well-documented history of saying racist statements against whites, calling them “white devils,” “potential humans” who “haven’t evolved yet” and “sinful by nature .”
“White people deserve to die, and they know, so they think it’s us coming to do it,” he said in 2015.
Farrakhan also stated that Hitler was a fan of German Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
“The Jews don’t like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that’s a good name. Hitler was a very great man,” he previously said.
Twitter de-verified Farrakhan, who has close ties to several Democrats, in early June after he want on a long rant about the Jews being evil, The Daily Caller News Foundation reported.
