Says black supremacist, William Barber II.

Via The Hill:

The president of North Carolina’s NAACP ripped President Trump’s nominee for a federal court in the Tar Heel State, referring to him as “a product of the modern white supremacist machine.”

“Among President Trump’s worrisome nominees to the judiciary, perhaps none is as alarming as Thomas Alvin Farr, a protégé of Jesse Helms, the former North Carolina senator, and a product of the modern white supremacist machine that Mr. Helms pioneered,” William Barber II wrote in an op-ed published Tuesday in The New York Times.

In the op-ed, Barber wrote that African-Americans who are seeking to have their rights protected under federal law “have much to fear” if Farr takes the bench.

The NAACP official called for senators from both sides of the aisle to “condemn the experience Mr. Farr brings with him.”

“Having practiced white supremacy for decades, Mr. Farr is not likely to withdraw,” Barber wrote.

“Every senator who condemned the racism on display in Charlottesville must vote to prevent it from having power in the federal judiciary,” he added, referring to a white nationalist rally in the Virginia city in August that turned violent.
