He claimed that they were sent to the Caucasus, where “the sun then started to deteriorate them, so then they’re acting out of fear, they’re acting out of low self-esteem, they’re acting out of a deficiency.”During the episode, Griffin and Cannon praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who also had expressed anti-Semitic views.
