Yes, You Read It Right: The Right Welcomed Louis Farrakhan's Support of Donald Trump
The right used Louis Farrakhan, who once called Hitler a “great man,” to browbeat the left for years. But now that he’s all-but-endorsing Trump? Hey, no problem!

Donald Trump really is a big-tent Republican, at least in term of bigots and racists. If you hate a minority group, you are very welcome inside Trump’s tent.
There are the white supremacists in Charlottesville whom he defended as “very fine people.” And people like former KKK grand wizard David Duke who have openly praised Trump many times, including last November with this tweet after Trump retweeted anti-Muslim videos: “Thank God for Trump! That's why we love him!”
Speaking of anti-Muslim activists, they are all in for Trump. After all, their allies John Bolton and Mike Pompeo are part of the Trump administration. Plus we can’t forget the right-wing, white evangelical leaders like Robert Jeffress who love Trump while spewing anti-LGBT and anti-Mormon hate. It’s like Trump is bringing together an “Avengers” of hate-filled bigots who all fight on his side.
And now we can expand that tent of hate to include Louis Farrakhan. Yep, the despicably anti-Semitic spewing leader of the Nation of Islam is now praising Trump. And the reason he’s touting Trump should be concerning for anyone actually who actually supports law enforcement, a robust media and, frankly, democracy.
In an interview published Friday, Farrakhan exalted Trump for destroying their common enemies. As Farrakhan explained, “The nature of this administration is good for us,” adding as a compliment, “There’s never been a president quite like Mr. Trump.”
