  • Farrakhan Endorsement

    Two days prior to the debate, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan announced his endorsement of Barack Obama, an endorsement that Obama had not solicited due to Farrakhan's anti-Semitic views. During the debate Clinton challenged Obama to reject Farrakhan's endorsement, claiming that a general denunciation of the minister was not sufficient. Obama replied by saying that he would "reject and denounce" Farrakhan's support.Sun Times: Why Obama 'denounced' Farrakhan (March 2, 2008)
