House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.) once claimed he had only a “vague recollection” of and hadn’t looked at the anti-Semitic speeches made by his uncle in the 1990s, but a 1992 editorial by the Democratic leader uncovered by CNN shows he defended his uncle, his comments, and notorious anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

Jeffries’s uncle, Leonard Jeffries, faced backlash in the 1990s for his comments accusing “rich Jews” of being responsible for the slave trade and alleging the existence of “a conspiracy, planned and plotted” by Jewish executives in Hollywood to portray black people poorly. Farrakhan is an infamous anti-Semite who has defended Adolf Hitler and assailed the “stranglehold that Jews have on this government.”

In the unearthed article, the Democratic leader defended his uncle’s ideologies after inviting him to speak on his campus at Binghamton University.
