I have already documented some of progressive darling Lindar Sarsour’s own words that make a mockery of the idea that she should be the poster girl for women’s rights (or human rights for that matter), or that she is deserving of this kind of praise from high profile people and organizations.

.@lsarsour: a strong voice advocating for women’s rights & understanding what Muslim women face. Haters will not divide us. #IMarchWithLinda

But it gets even worse, as the days go by, and more of her statements come to light.
I mean, is this really someone who is “compassionate, selfless, loving and inclusive”, standing up against “hateful rhetoric”?
And would someone who is against hateful rhetoric really be a fan of the antisemitic hatemonger organization Nation of Islam?
Thank you to Lalo Dagach, who describes himself as a Chilean Palestinian, for the screenshots of these tweets.
