"Deven Anderson, who recently joined Pete Buttigieg's (D.) presidential campaign as a regional organizing director in Columbia, S.C., has a history of praising anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and attended a sermon where Farrakhan said "You can walk with a Jew, but you can't walk with me."

Between April 2010 and August 2013, Anderson tweeted more than 20 times about Farrakhan, praising his sermons and tweeting out quotes. Two days before Farrakhan spoke at Union Temple Baptist on April 25, 2010, in southeast Washington, D.C., Anderson tweeted about planning to attend the sermon." . . .

In another tweet on April 23, he responded to a now-deleted tweet saying he has "never seen the Honorable Minister Farrakhan in person," adding that choosing between Cornel West and Farrakhan will be a "real tough decision."

"When Wall Street saw they were going to regulate, Wall Street paid back all the money. The banks still not loaning you nothing. Do you know why?" Farrakhan asked. "They print money right over there next to the Holocaust Museum. That is not an accident either."
He said Jews have been "scattered throughout the Earth as a result of their rebellion to the laws and statutes and commandments of God." Farrakhan continued, "God would never have had to give commandments to the children of Israel, thou shalt not steal, if they weren't crooked."
"You can walk with a Jew, but you can't walk with me. I believe in Jesus, but they don't. Why you reject me?" Farrakhan asked, beating his fist on the pulpit. "Why can you sit down with Weinberg and Steinberg and Huffman? Is it because they have money? They have influence? They have power? Then tell me you're not a worshipper of God. You worship the power of this world."  . . .
