Sen. Cory Booker Reverses on Meeting with ‘Bigot’ Farrakhan [VIDEO]

YouTube video

*Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.) denounced Louis Farrakhan on Sunday and made clear that he would not meet with the Nation of Islam leader after indicating otherwise last month.

“I will not sit down with Louis Farrakhan, period. And I reject anybody who preaches that kind of bigotry and hate toward other Americans,” Booker told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”

However, as noted by The Washington Free Beason, Booker mentioned at a fundraiser in June that he was “very familiar” with Farrakhan’s “beliefs and values” and that he wouldn’t rule out sitting down with the controversial speaker.

“I have met–I live in Newark so we have famous Mosque 25, we have Nation of Islam there,” Booker said at a South Carolina prayer breakfast. “As mayor I met with lots of folks talking to him. I have heard Minister Farrakhan’s speeches for a lot of my life, so I don’t feel like I need to do that, but I’m not one of these people that says I wouldn’t sit down with anybody to hear what they have to say. But, I live on a neighborhood where I’m getting guys on the streets offering and selling his works. I am very familiar with Minister Louis Farrakhan and his beliefs and his values.”

Farrakhan has allegedly pissed off Jewish people for calling them “termites” and “Satanic” and for claiming Israel has a stranglehold on America’s government.

As EUR previously reported, Farrakhan along with conservative bloggers Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, Laura Loomer, Paul Joseph Watson and others were banned by Facebook and Instagram who deemed them as “dangerous individuals and organizations.”
