The Best Jokes About Jews Controlling the Weather

Last Friday morning, a D.C. councilman named Trayon White Sr. posted a video on Facebook where he accused “the Rothschilds” of controlling the weather. He said, as JTA reported, “Man, it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man. Y’all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation. And D.C. keep talking about, ‘We a resilient city.’ And that’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.”

He later apologized, saying “I did not intend to be anti-Semitic, and I see I should not have said that after learning from my colleagues.”

However, Jewish twitter ran with this anti-Semitic conspiracy theory and turned it into many wonderful jokes. We’ve rounded up some of our favorites.
