A Facebook post that has since been removed showed Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan posing with Terence Muhammad, an activist affiliated with a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit called the Hip Hop Caucus. Muhammad frequently visits the Biden White House and has publicly supported Farrakhan on social media. In a now-deleted 2013 post by Hip Hop Caucus President Lennox Yearwood, who also appeared in the photo with Regan, Muhammad was referred to as one of Farrakhan&#8217;s &#8220;top soldiers,&#8221; according to Fox News. Farrakhan has made numerous antisemitic remarks over his lifetime, including comparing Jews to termites and accusing them of spreading &#8220;poison and deceit.&#8221; Recently, he claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had prior knowledge of Hamas&#8217;s terrorist attack on Israel last October.<\/p>\n<p>In his deleted Facebook post featuring Regan and Yearwood, Muhammad expressed enjoyment at seeing his &#8220;Environmental Justice Squad&#8221; alongside his &#8220;Political\/Social Justice Squad&#8221; during an event in Chicago. He noted that Regan is part of President Biden\u2019s Cabinet and is associated with North Carolina A&amp;T State University (referred to as AGGIE). <\/p>\n<p>Yearwood had previously described Muhammad as a \u201ctop soldier\u201d for Farrakhan in a 2013 social media message expressing gratitude for being able to work alongside him during an event commemorating Martin Luther King Jr.&#8217;s March on Washington anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these connections, the Hip Hop Caucus distanced itself from any affiliation with the Nation of Islam. A spokesperson stated that they do not have any relationship with it and condemned Farrakhan&#8217;s antisemitic comments. They emphasized their commitment to advocating for racial justice while fostering genuine partnerships within various communities.<\/p>\n<p>The EPA acknowledged its appreciation for the efforts made by both Hip Hop Caucus and Reverend Yearwood towards environmental justice across America while reiterating its condemnation of hate or prejudice against any group based on religion or race<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":381,"featured_media":2331662,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Michael-Regan-Farrakhan-DNC-1.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[3620,7705,39408,37943,5894],"class_list":["post-2331661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-biden","tag-dnc","tag-louis-farrakhan","tag-photo-op","tag-politics"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Michael-Regan-Farrakhan-DNC-1.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331661","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\/381"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2331661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2331662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2331661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2331661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2331661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
