The video - taken in 2004 at a Newark church - shows Baraka introducing Farrakhan to the congregation by calling him a major personal inspiration and "the leader of every Black person."

"I don't think that there's any man today, present today, that has the kind of moral authority or spiritual strength," Baraka said. "Not president, not community leader, not political international activist, nowhere that has the moral authority, the historical and political framework, that the Minister Farrakhan has, that. Who can stand where he stands and truly say that he is the leader of black people anywhere and everywhere."

Baraka applauds again after Farrakhan demonizes White people as "the enemy."   

"Now the enemy comes in. You, the Crips, and the Bloods, they'll send people in to give you rumors about your brother over there. These demons will even kill a policeman and then blame it on you. You dealing with a devil, man. You're not dealing with righteous people. This cracker is the real devil. And you better wake up and realize that," said Farrakhan.

This was not the last time Baraka hosted Farrakhan and gave him a platform to speak.

"I will not be cowed into denouncing my lifelong work for peace, equality, and equity," Baraka said. "These latest accusations and insinuations aren't just false-they're a reflection of the fear my candidacy is provoking in the political establishment."

"The Nation of Islam holds deep respect in many parts of the Black community because of the work they've done to reduce violence and support self-determination in neighborhoods that have been ignored and abandoned for generations," he added.

Farrakhan is infamous for his hateful comments against White people and Jews, which have been closely monitored by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for several years. The ADL, which has called Farrakhan "one of the most prominent antisemites," lists dozens of his quotes on its website, including several from past Saviours' Day speeches. SPLC has classified Nation of Islam as a hate group.

Baraka's campaign website calls for voters to "reimagine New Jersey," as a state "where we come together, regardless of zip code, or race, or gender or nationality."

Baraka did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment by the time of publication.
