Women's Rights & Issues

The three of them did more damage when they were outed than anything else.

MeToo was "everyone" regardless of political preference.
It was a slap & an insult to find out that Sarsour of all people was running a big mockery of a campaign.

I hope it can regroup & be a force for what all who joined in originally believed it to be.

Maybe needs some new organizers besides Our (deceptive)Revolution & Farrakhan figureheads.

They blew up an incredible united force, when the truth of their self serving purpose was made known.

Tamika Mallory's disqualifying embrace of Louis Farrakhan: She can't lead the Women's March and back a virulent anti-Semite

"Lest you need a quick refresher, Farrakhan has also over the years said, "It is now becoming apparent that there were many Israelis and Zionist Jews in key roles in the 9/11 attacks."
And: "The Jews have been so bad at politics they lost half their population in the Holocaust."

And: "Hitler was a very great man."
He has called white people a race of "devils." He has called black men like Julian Bond and the NAACP "slaves."
He has condemned homosexuality.
He has called it the duty of men to keep their wives covered.

But back to that organization purporting to speak for female empowerment. It is bad enough that Mallory, along with co-leaders Linda Sarsour and Carmen Perez, were there when Farrakhan let loose his latest hate.
It is far worse that they refused to issue a swift, clear and categorical condemnation of what they heard.

Tuesday, weeks into the backlash, the Women's March finally found the courage to state that Farrakhan's "statements about Jewish, queer and trans people" are "not aligned with" its unity principles.

Mallory can't bring herself to say as much. Wednesday, in a statement claiming to have "heard the pain and concerns of my LGBTQAI siblings, my Jewish Friends and Black women," she mustered not a word of condemnation for Farrakhan's vile ideology.

She added that she has been attending the Nation of Islam Saviours' Day event for more than 30 years, as though it is a mitigating factor. Hardly: It only proves she knew exactly the climate into which she walked.

If the Women's March continues to count her as a leader, the organization deserves to fail.
