A Washington, D.C., official scored two more visits to the White House after a spokesman for President Joe Biden reportedly asserted that she would not be allowed to return following her praise of antisemite Louis Farrakhan.
Cora Masters Barry, an official serving under Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, said at a mid-2022 event that Farrakhan was a “friend” and “member of the family,” prompting spokesman Andrew Bates for the White House, which Masters Barry had visited repeatedly since July 2021, to say Biden “denounces any praise of Louis Farrakhan or his repugnant, antisemitic values, including in this case.” Bates had told Fox News that the White House would ban Masters Barry from future visits, though government visitor logs show she returned to the White House twice — in June 2023 and December 2023.
The Washington Examiner reached out to the White House and Masters Barry for comment. The Republican Jewish Coalition said the White House needs to own up to why it would invite Masters Barry back, including after the Oct. 7 Hamas-led terrorist attack on Israel.
