The Washington Post labeled Louis Farrakhan as a “far-right leader.”

The Washington Post first lumped Louis Farrakhan in with right-wing figures Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, Paul Joseph Watson, Paul Nehlen and Laura Loomer in stories describing Facebook’s latest attempt to regulate free speech on their site.

Trending: Another Fake Photo of ‘Trump Putting Kids In Cages’ Goes Viral

On Thursday, The Washington Post, in its fervent desire to target the political Right, released an article regarding Facebook banning certain public figures whom the Post described as “far-right,” and the very first person the Post named as “far-right” was that noted “far-right” figure who was chummy with Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, and at least one of the leftist leaders of the Women’s March: anti-Semitic and racist preacher Louis Farrakhan.

There should be a fake news awards ceremony and this story could be in the running. The Fake News Award (FNA) show could run opposite the White House Corresponds Dinner.

This is nothing more than the Washington Post’s thrill at lying and seeing if they can get away with it.

They’re positioning it so that anything evil is on the right.

Are you effing kidding me?

Facebook bans “Far-right extremist Louis Farrakhan”

Here’s some iron-clad evidence of where Farrakhan is on the political spectrum, idiots.

Here is a video of “far-right” extremist Louis Farrakhan hugging and kissing the leader of the Trump Resistance – @RepMaxineWaters.

REMINDER: Before this hug:

– Farrakhan called Jews “Satan”

– Farrakhan called Jews parasites

– Farrakhan said Hitler was a “great man” pic.twitter.com/Hc1Ua5Flrv

So Louis Farrakhan is now part of the, um, far right?

This @washingtonpost headline reveals a deep intellectual blindspot:

1) An inability to recognize left-wing authoritarianism.

2) Once its authoritarian element becomes impossible to ignore: the denial that it is left-wing. pic.twitter.com/y5S2TaVliM

Why is @washingtonpost calling Louis Farrakhan a “far-right leader?” He’s a pal of @IlhanMN & @RashidaTlaib. Are they “far-right?” https://t.co/05MLt9oNRh

They labelled Farrakhan “far right” to hide the fact that these bans were purely a partisan political purge. https://t.co/1spGNSMDmN
