Washington, D.C., Council member Trayon White first gained notoriety for a Facebook video in which he repeated the anti-Semitic claim that Jews control the weather, via the Rothschilds. Then it came to light that White sent $500 of constituent services funds to Louis Farrakhan's 2018 Nation of Islam Savior's Day event. Now a tweeted photo shows White's involvement with the Nation of Islam and Farrakhan is more than a passing interest.

The March 2017 tweet features a photo of White and a group of men and boys, four of whom are holding copies of The Final Call, Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam publication.





(White is second from the left in the front row. The photo was taken in front of the Little Fountain Bibleway Church at the corner of 16th and Galen Streets SE in Washington, D.C. in the 8th ward that White represents.)

( Editor's note: White has since deleted his tweet, the above is a screenshot from the Way Back Machine.)

The Final Call is the same publication Rep. Keith Ellison was seen handing out in a photo from the 1990s, a photo that has caused him some grief over the years as he has sought to distance himself from Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.

The Final Call issues shown in the photo are from February 14 and March 7, 2017. The February 14 issue features an article headlined "Building 7 Implosion: The Smoking Gun of 9/11" that explains the conspiracy theory that the events of 9/11 were not a terror attack by Islamist terrorists, but rather a U.S. government plot to justify a "war on Islam."

The March 7, 2017, issue titled "The Future is Ours" contains excerpts from Louis Farrakhan's speech the previous month in which the Nation of Islam leader excoriated then newly inaugurated President Donald Trump and said that Trump was elected "with appeals to the basic nature of White people." Farrakhan espoused his belief that blacks are the true chosen people of God and that integration of whites and blacks is foolishness:



Black America [are] s people destined to rule. Black people fit the biblical prophecy of Abraham’s children who would serve a strange people in a strange land for four centuries but after that time God Himself would come to deliver those who had suffered and judge those who had heaped evil and death upon them.



“God has not come to integrate you into your 400-year-old enemy; this is the time that the enemy must pay for his evil done. That’s God judgement, but God is so patient with a foolish people. You trying to make God a liar,” he said.



Farrakhan also had harsh words for Rep. Keith Ellison, who had recently denounced Farrakhan when running for leadership of the Democratic National Committee despite a continuing relationship on some level:



Though Congressman Keith Ellison used to be one of my followers under the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, now he wants to be the leader of the Democratic National Committee. So to members of the Jewish community he has to bow now and deny his brother to get a cheap position with the enemy! (As) most of you Negroes.

I’m not insulting you, I’m just saying you’re dead: That’s what “negro” and “n***a” means.





Council member White's office did not return three requests for comment, including on whether or not White believes the material in The Final Call, and whether he has continued to hand out The Final Call, as he said in the tweet, "Block to block every Saturday."
