(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

D.C. campaign finance officials have asked council member Trayon White Sr. for more information about a $500 donation he made to a Nation of Islam event in Chicago where leader Louis Farrakhan declared “powerful Jews are my enemy.”

White (D-Ward 8) made the Jan. 29 donation, disclosed in filings this month, from his constituent services account — private money raised by lawmakers for community causes. The funds must benefit D.C. residents, according to campaign finance law. They are often used for things such as helping a constituent in a bind pay a utility bill or to send flowers to someone in mourning.

He said he did not know about the $500 donation.

But the fund’s treasurer said the lawmaker personally ordered the payment.

After his comments were publicized in March, White said he did not realize he had offended Jews and committed himself to a better understanding of anti-Semitism. He embarked on an atonement tour that included a Passover Seder, a bagels-and-lox breakfast with Jewish leaders at the D.C. government building and a visit with a rabbi to the U.S. Holocaust Museum on Thursday — a visit he left abruptly.

This man is an anti-Semite.

1. A-hole

2. maybe he is learning

He obviously is not very well educated, given that he thinks that people can control the weather.

The exposure to the Holocaust may have completely "blown up" his world, perhaps he is having an existential moment about humanity.

Note: I'm trying to believe the best in people.

5. I couldn't watch the whole thing

But I was mildly encouraged to find he's probably more just from the left side of the IQ scale than actually a bigot.

6. According to Wikipedia he graduated magna cum laude.

4. I was hoping he was overwhelmed

But I think he was bored . . . . or sad the Nazis didn't finish the job.

The comments to the effect of "oh the Nazis were guarding her" (marching a ethnic German woman who was married to a Jewish man in a walk of shame worthy of Game of Thrones) shows he and his minions come from a very strange and twisted place.
