Packers' Preston Smith latest NFL player to share Farrakhan's views against Jews

Green Bay Packers linebacker Preston Smith is the latest NFL player to post a message from anti-Semitic preacher Louis Farrakhan on his social media.

Smith, 27, on Friday shared a Farrakhan video on his Instagram Stories from another account. In the video, Farrakhan warns his “brothers and sisters in Africa” against getting a vaccine. Farrakhan accuses Bill and Melinda Gates of wanting to depopulate the Earth, a conspiracy theory that has been propagated on social media and online forums since the coronavirus pandemic took hold in the U.S. in March.

It’s unclear whether Smith, who attended Mississippi State and is entering his sixth season in the NFL, actually watched the video.
