Coca-Cola Consolidated, one of the main Coca-Cola bottlers in the United States, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Photos from the April 9 event show White posing with cleanup volunteers from Coca-Cola Consolidated with Coca-Cola flags and signs prominently displayed in the background.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesman for Giant told the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> that the event, and White\u2019s invitation, was Coca-Cola Consolidated\u2019s idea.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was an event run by Coca-Cola that we were happy to be a part of, because cleaning up our environment is very important to Giant Food. D.C. Councilman Trayon White Sr. was invited by Coca-Cola, so I cannot speak on that,&#8221; said the spokesman.<\/p>\n<p>Coca-Cola Consolidated praised the event as an &#8220;incredible way to usher in Earth Day&#8221; in a press release on Tuesday, which also included a statement from White.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m thankful to partners like Coke Consolidated and Giant Food for organizing this community clean up in Ward 8,&#8221; White said in the press release. &#8220;I know that when we clean up the community it makes people feel at home and it adds so much value to the community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the sponsors, the event drew 60 volunteers who removed &#8220;2,000 pounds of waste from the woods and waterways\u00a0around Oxon Run.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>White drew controversy in 2018 for his statements about the Rothschilds, a wealthy Jewish family that has been the subject of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories for more than 200 years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Man, it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man. Y&#8217;all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation,&#8221; White said in a video he posted on Facebook in 2018. &#8220;And D.C. keep talking about, \u2018We a resilient city,&#8217; and that&#8217;s a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While attending a city council breakfast, White also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/d-c-city-council-member-fire-anti-semitic-comments-claimed-jews-run-federal-government\/\">claimed<\/a>\u00a0that the Rothschilds &#8220;pretty much control the federal government&#8221; and &#8220;control the World Bank, as we all know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After public backlash, White apologized for the remarks and agreed to attend a tour of the Holocaust Museum. But many Jewish community leaders\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/trayon-white-srs-trip-holocaust-museum-went-badly-you-might-expect-894750\">questioned<\/a>\u00a0his sincerity after he walked out of the tour halfway through.<\/p>\n<p>White was also forced to repay a $500 donation from a D.C. community fund that he used to help fund a conference for Farrakhan. In a speech at the event, Farrakhan claimed that &#8220;Jews are responsible for all of this filth and degenerate behavior that Hollywood is putting out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>White has faced an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/washingtoncitypaper.com\/article\/554065\/trayon-white-could-fall-short-of-earning-public-funding-in-his-mayoral-campaign\/\">uphill battle<\/a>\u00a0in his mayoral primary. One of his Democratic rivals is challenging the validity of White\u2019s ballot application signatures, and the Ward 8 councilman could be disqualified for public campaign financing due to his low fundraising numbers.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats Giant Food joins event with anti-Semitic DC lawmaker Trayon White  Volunteers from Coca-Cola Consolidated pose with Washington, D.C., councilman Trayon White Sr.  Alana Goodman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":120,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1446853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1446853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/120"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1446853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1446853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1446853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1446853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1446853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
