D.C. lawmaker who said Rothschilds control the climate also said they control the federal government

As D.C. Council member Trayon White Sr. (D-Ward 8) tried Monday to apologize for a Facebook post in which he claimed that Jewish financiers control the climate, (1) new footage released by the city showed it wasnt the first time he had made such comments. ... White also contended that the Rothschilds -- a European business dynasty and frequent subject of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories -- control the World Bank and the federal government, making those remarks during a Feb. 27 gathering of top city officials, including Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) and other council members.
"There's this whole concept with the Rothschilds -- control the World Bank, as we all know -- infusing dollars into major cities," said White, according to video footage that the city routinely releases after official meetings. "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."

He asked how much money the Rothschilds had invested in the University of the District of Columbia, whose president had just finished a presentation. "How does this influence this? Because it's really about infrastructure and climate control," White said. "What does this have to do with UDC? Have they put money into UDC? What's the relationship between the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers?"
No one in the room challenged his remarks. Bowser wore a puzzled look; City Administrator Rashad M. Young explained that the "resilient cities" initiative from the Rockefeller Foundation was about helping communities prepare for disasters.

An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported that D.C. Council Member Charles Allen (D-Ward 6) refused to comment on Whites remarks. Allen condemned them in a post on his Facebook page.
