City Council member who claimed Jewish bankers control the weather is running for mayor, according to a Wednesday announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Trayon White Sr. (D.) is the second city councilman this week&nbsp;to throw his hat into the mayoral race. He <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtoncitypaper.com\/article\/535515\/ward-8-councilmember-trayon-white-is-running-for-mayor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> his candidacy on Instagram, in response to a post about Councilman Robert White (D.) launching his mayoral bid on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>White&#8217;s candidacy is likely to cause a stir due to his history of espousing anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. In 2018, he <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/dc-city-council-member-blames-snowfall-jews\/\">claimed<\/a> that the Rothschilds\u2014a historically wealthy Jewish family that is often the center of anti-Semitic assertions\u2014manipulate the weather and control the levers of federal power.<\/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. &#8220;And DC 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;&nbsp;During a city council breakfast meeting, White also <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/d-c-city-council-member-fire-anti-semitic-comments-claimed-jews-run-federal-government\/\">argued<\/a> that &#8220;the Rothschilds\u2014control the World Bank, as we all know\u2014infusing dollars into major cities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They really pretty much control the federal government, and now they have this concept called resilient cities in which they are using their money and influence into local cities,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>White&#8217;s comments drew condemnations from Jewish groups and anti-Semitism watchdogs at the time. He later agreed to visit the Holocaust museum with the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington in an attempt to make amends but left <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/trayon-white-srs-trip-holocaust-museum-went-badly-you-might-expect-894750\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">without explanation<\/a> halfway through the 90-minute tour.<\/p>\n<p>An adviser to Trayon White on Wednesday&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/maustermuhle\/status\/1448361667138621444\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">confirmed<\/a> the run in a statement to D.C. radio station WAMU, saying the councilman &#8220;has a tremendous amount of support coming his way because he is willing to speak out for and advocate for those who need the leadership the most.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Incumbent mayor Muriel Bowser (D.) has yet to say if she will run for reelection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A D.C.
