Remember Trayon White Sr., the D.C. lawmaker who claimed that wealthy Jews control the weather (among other things)?
Well, I don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade, but he is now running for mayor.
A D.C. Council member who made national headlines in 2018 after suggesting that Jewish financiers control the weather is now running for mayor in the district.
Ward 8 Council member Trayon White Sr., a Democrat, is throwing his hat in the ring to possibly unseat Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has not yet announced whether she intends to seek another term.
“He has a tremendous amount of support coming his way because he is willing to speak out for and advocate for those who need the leadership the most,” an adviser for White told local media Wednesday.

Trayon White sparked a firestorm in March of 2018 after he filmed himself driving through downtown Washington as snowflakes fell on his windshield and ranted about “climate manipulation.”
“And D.C. keep talking about, ‘We’re a resilient city.’ And that’s a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man,” he said in the now-deleted video. “Be careful.”

In addition to his comments about the Rothschilds, White also tweeted at prominent anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in 2013 and said he was “honored” to share a birthday with Farrakhan, adding, “I must respect his intelligence, will, & boldness.”

White would later come under fire in 2018 after it was reported that he donated $500 to a Nation of Islam convention in Chicago where Farrakhan attacked “powerful Jews” as his enemy and made other disparaging comments.
If he wins, it will cap off a meteorological meteoric rise from Farrakhan groupie to D.C mayor.
