Anti-Semitic Comments from Trayon White

Why is he still employed in this job?

I hope someone is able to pull him aside and explain the problem, as well as the history of Jews and African-Americans working together towards a common goal of equitable justice.

He’s a grown man. Someone pull him aside is what you do for precocious children who step in it.

Ignorant.

Is it ignorance or someone losing his grip on reality?
Are there actually normal people out there walking around believing stuff like this?
A secret weather machine???

His popularity will probably rise with his base.

If you think he's going to resign, you must be new to DC. You basically have to have a date to report to federal prison in order to resign from the council. (And after serving prison time, there can be an electoral future on the council.)

Brianne Nadeau’s statement after talking to White.

White also met with Jews United for Justice (JUFJ) and they apparently educated him about anti-Semitism. Thinking that Jews control the weather is anti-Semitic and I guess that can be explained to him. But, thinking that anyone — regardless of religion — is controlling the weather and making it snow in DC is incredibly stupid. I’m not sure what you do about that.

So moronic it is just breath-taking.

WP hiding this behind paywall. Not good.

Hey what if he's right? Maybe he knows something we don't?!

You are joking, right?

Please tell us this was just your poor attempt at humor?

WTOP has also picked up the story here (with the YouTube video):

What is the process for impeaching a councilperson?

Even though he backtracked these idiotic comments, it also proves he is breath takingly stupid- and not fit for public office- even in Ward 8.

Agreed. I think it's amazing that he thinks apologizing for the antisemitism magically makes this better. Anyone that thinks that anyone (Jewish or not) controls the weather is not qualified to hold elected office.

The they're doing a damn poor job controlling the weather. It's been ridiculous this year. I'm going to file a complaint.
