The Women's March, whose leaders have openly embraced anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, tried to lead the "Resistance" in opposition to President Donald Trump in the wake of the Pennsylvania synagogue shooting Sunday, holding a "Vigil" outside the White House to protest anti-Semitism.
Sarsour and fellow Women's March leaders Tamika Mallory and Carmen Perez are, of course, friends with arguably the nation's foremost anti-Semite, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who regularly delivers anti-Jewish messages from the pulpit of his mosque in Chicago, and just last week referred to Jews as "Termites" who require extermination.
The Women's March, of course, hasn't denounced Farrakhan, nor has it forced its own leaders, who led a march against anti-Semitism yesterday, to denounce Farrakhan and distance themselves from his rhetoric.
The best the March could offer was a tepid statement of values: "Minister Farrakhan's statements about Jewish, queer, and trans people are not aligned with the Women's March Unity Principles."
Perez defended Farrakhan when the Women's March was told to distance itself from the "Controversial" leader.
"In regards to Minister Farrakhan, I think that is a distraction," Perez told Refinery29 when they asked why the Women's March didn't denounce Farrakhan's comments outright.
In the wake of Mallory's controversy, none of the Women's March leaders have even avoided Farrakhan.
