Andrea Mitchell is a rabid partisan Democrat, despite being married to Alan Greenspan. With that said, she is also Jewish, and you would think she would use better judgement than to praise anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan getting a front row seat at Aretha Franlin’s funeral. But that’s not the case. Mitchell praised Farrakhan’s attendance, even claiming it provided “evidence” of the ‘inclusive group’ at Franklin’s funeral.
Louis Farrakhan has been called a lot of things over his disgusting life, but inclusive has never been one of them. Is Andrea Mitchell getting dementia or something?

She then got to Farrakhan and noted that he is “very controversial,” but then, rather than doing the obvious thing and commenting on how astonishing or hypocritical it is to see him invited to such a high-profile public event and to have a former President appear with him, she merely called his presence evidence of inclusion.
Mitchell: “Bill Clinton there, of course, and is going to give one of the eulogies. And also the Reverend Farrakhan — a very controversial leader from the Nation of Islam who is also there. So it’s an inclusive group.”
She then pivoted to commenting on the aesthetics of the funeral procession: “We can see also on screen some of that parade of pink Cadillacs. I mean, the drama of this funeral and what Aretha Franklin means to the nation.”
So having a notorious racist and anti-Semite from the left prominently featured at an event alongside several high-profile liberals was treated as if it were just another normal day when no such behavior would be tolerated if it were done by any prominent conservatives — nor would conservatives tolerate such a presence amongst them. But for liberals, it’s just an accepted part of political life.
