California Rep. Maxine Waters attended a Nation of Islam convention in 2005 where Farrakhan railed against Jews and defended Palestinian suicide bombers. Farrakhan acknowledged Waters’ attendance during his speech and praised her as “our great congresswoman from this area.” The audience applauded her name.
Recently re-emerged footage from 2006 shows Waters and other Congressional Black Caucus members greeting Farrakhan with hugs and handshakes, before standing and talking with him for several minutes.
