“I did not solicit his support,” Obama said, referring to Farrakhan’s praise for his candidacy. “I can’t say to somebody that he can’t say that he thinks I’m a good guy.”

Askia Muhammad, told the Trice Edney News Wire that he “gave the picture up at the time and basically swore secrecy…it was kept under cover.”

“Secrecy!”

“Cover up!!”

“A guy named Muhammad!!!”

(Breathless, apoplectic, derp-splaining by Nunes, Johnson, and Gohmert on Fox, after this brief intermission)

So Obama stood next to Farrakhan for a picture in 2005, and this deep, dark secret has been hidden away all these years? Calling the FBI! This calls for an investigation.

Muhammad also told TPM that around the time he took the photo, he asked Obama about a perceived resemblance between him and Farrakhan.

I wouldn’t know. All black people look alike to me.

This was a meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus and no one else had photographs?

Perhaps because some people find Louis Farrakhan a tad unsavory.

Obama, Farrakhan, and the CBC - and this is significant for what reason? Doesn’t sound like anyone was paid off to keep the picture out of sight. Barack Obama is now the former POTUS.The Reverend Wright stuff was far worse. He served two terms without scandal.

Weeks before the election, Stormy Daniels -porn star- was paid to stay quiet about her affair with Trump. I dunno which is worse? Oh and don’t forget Stormy is on a Make America Horny Again tour.

If that’s all it takes to spark outrage you could tar every Trump campaign photo with the same brush.

Remember the horror made about Obama’s minister, Jeremiah Wright? This would have been ten times worse. I’m glad it was kept away from all MSM.

To me, the most damaging person in the photo is actually the guy on the left because he looks like the Corrupt State Senator Clay Davis from The Wire.
