Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan on Sunday praised Donald Trump as the only presidential candidate who hasn’t taken money from the “Jewish community,” according to the Anti-Defamation League.

Farrakhan said during his annual Saviors’ Day sermon delivered in Detroit that he wasn’t endorsing Trump, but that he liked “what I’m look­ing at.”

He said Trump “is the only mem­ber who has stood in front of Jew­ish com­mu­nity, and said, ‘I don’t want your money,'” as quoted by the Anti-Defamation League, which monitors anti-Semitism and bigotry. “Any time a man can say to those who con­trol the pol­i­tics of Amer­ica, ‘I don’t want your money,’ that means you can’t con­trol me.”

Farrakhan also reportedly called Jewish people the “Syn­a­gogue of Satan” and blamed them for 9/11 and the Iraq War.
