Former President Bill Clinton was seated in the front row of singer Aretha Franklin’s funeral Friday with controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
Farrakhan, who has headed the Nation of Islam religious group since 1975, has been a controversial leader because of anti-Semitic and anti-white comments. He made controversial remarks this year during a Saviours’ Day 2018 address, in which he claimed “the powerful Jews are my enemy†and “white folks are going down.â€
Over the summer, Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., was criticized for meeting a few times with Farrakhan, after Ellison said he has no relationship with him.
