Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan on Sunday spoke in defense of Women's March national leaders who have taken flak for associating with him, and launched fresh attacks on Jews.
"The wicked Jews want to use me to break up the women's movement," Farrakhan said at his movement's Saviours' Day conference in Chicago, praising by name the national co-leaders of the Women's March, Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour and Carmen Perez.
In a lengthy speech, Farrakhan also accused Jews of putting Jewish suffering - specifically the Nazis' systematic extermination of six million Jews, the Holocaust - ahead of that of others because they believe "Only their life is sacred."
On Sunday, Farrakhan asked the audience to applaud "My poor little sister, Tamika" - who did not attend this year - and implied that critics had used him as a pretext to attack the Women's March leaders who were shaking up America.
"The women organized, and all over the world women rose up and men in government got shook. Because when women rise, change is going to come," he said.
"The wicked Jews want to use me to break up the women's movement," Farrakhan said.
In other remarks certain to stoke new controversy, Farrakhan said that Jews "Think so much of themselves" that they get offended when blacks want to use the term "Holocaust" to refer to the transatlantic slave trade, lynching, rapes and other abuses.
