Barack Obama with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
On Friday, Obama’s BFF, Louis Farrakhan lost his ‘bluecheck’ verification badge on Twitter after he posted a tweet with the caption, “Thoroughly and completely unmasking the Satanic Jew and the Synagogue of Satan.”
Louis Farrakhan has privately met with many Democrat lawmakers, including Barack Obama and DNC Deputy Chair, Keith Ellison.
The Nation of Islam leader boasts over 480,000 Twitter followers.
Farrakhan attached a YouTube video of himself from May 27th, 2018 addressing attendees at the Nation of Islam’s international headquarters, Mosque Maryam in Chicago, Illinois.
Twitter users erupted after Louis Farrakhan fired off the tweet and the social media platform subsequently removed his blue check mark.
