Louis Farrakhan (Wikipedia) Rep. Matt Gaetz on Monday called for defunding a station within the National Public Radio network, citing its support
Rep. Matt Gaetz on Monday called for defunding a station within the National Public Radio network, citing its support for the anti-white, anti-Semitic leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan.
As first reported by the Daily Caller News Foundation, WEAA 88.9, an NPR affiliate at Morgan State University, an historically black university in Baltimore, airs a weekly show called Final Call Radio. The show is named for a newspaper Farrakhan started out of his south Chicago home in 1979.
The show bills itself as the “Official Voice of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan,” according to the Daily Caller, and it airs his speeches wherein he makes anti-Semitic comments.

According to the most recent data available, WEAA received more than $250,000 in funding in 2021 from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which is completely funded by the federal government.
“[President] Joe Biden says white supremacy is the nation’s greatest threat, but his administration is busy subsidizing the broadcast of Nation of Islam propaganda,” Gaetz told the Daily Caller.
“Taxpayers should not be supporting Louis Farrakhan’s hateful rhetoric. I’m calling to halt any and all taxpayer funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting until WEAA stops airing Final Call Radio.”
Farrakhan has called Judaism the “Synagogue of Satan,” and has blamed Jews for the slave trade abd promoted the conspiracy theory that they control the global financial system, Hollywood and the federal government.
The Anti-Defamation League, a left-wing group, notes on its website, “For more than 30 years, Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam (NOI), has been a notable extremist figure, railing against Jews, white people and the LGBT community.”
Another left-wing group, the Southern Poverty Law Center, has compiled Farrakhan’s quotes. In March 2016, for example, he said, “Osama Bin Laden didn’t destroy the Twin Towers. That was a false flag operation to take the world’s attention away from the great disunity in America after George W. Bush stole the election.”

In October 2018, Farrakhan wrote, “I’m not an anti-Semite. I’m anti-Termite.”
In 2017, he called America “the most rotten nation on Earth” and said it was “on God’s list to be destroyed.”
Farrakhan also has expressed his views that UFOs are real, but tends to keep his conspiracy theories grounded in this realm.
As the SPLC noted, Farrakhan has said “that the black population is being targeted with chemically altered marijuana in order to assault the black man’s brain. He claims that the food and water the black population consumes has been tampered with in an effort to lower the sperm count in black men, and that government scientists have unleashed homosexuality on the black population as a form of castration.”
