(Jewish Group) Womens March Renounces Farrakhans anti-Semitism, Supports Leader Who Embraced Him

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!

Organizers of the Women’s March renounced the anti-Semitic views of Louis Farrakhan, but they stood behind one of its co-presidents who attended a speech last month by the Nation of Islam leader and seemed unperturbed by his attacks on Jews.

Tamika Mallory, co-president of the Women’s March, sparked an outcry when she posted a photo of herself and Farrakhan on Instagram following his Saviours’ Day speech in Chicago on February 25.

In that speech, Farrakhan declared that “powerful Jews are my enemy” and that he had “pulled the cover off the eyes of the Satanic Jew.” Farrakhan, as he has done repeatedly in the past, also accused Jews of controlling the FBI and Hollywood, and plotting to synthesize marijuana in order to “feminize” black men.

Mallory subsequently deleted her post, but not before critics demanded to know why the leader of a broad-based civil rights movement would boast of her connections to Farrakhan.

Farrakhan is no friend to Jews or LGBTQ but that's ok with some because if you fall into one of the above groups you don't matter that much.

Knowing what to condemn and what not?

And it is not as if it does not have a history of anti Jewish activities..
