National Womens March Leadership is Anti-Semitic, Apologize or Resign [View all]

National Women’s March has undoubtedly impacted the US political atmosphere in ways that have empowered previously uninvolved masses. Emboldened by the show of force in the face of the sexism of the 45 Regime, the Women’s March sparked a national movement, conversation, and expanded the playbook for how to fight for women’s rights and stem the tide of authoritarianism.

Unfortunately, Women’s March’s national organization has lost its credibility and poisoned its own spirit based on one very simple yet disturbing fact: It’s anti-Semitic.
