Last week, Louis Farrakhan held his big event of the year, Saviours’ Day. As usual, his Jew hatred was on full display. Here are some of the “highlights”:

Here, he makes anti-Semitic and trans-phobic claims that Jews controlling Hollywood cause people to be transgender. pic.twitter.com/AWAYKLasyF

After this, Farrakhan goes back to one of the oldest anti-Semitic tropes, that Jews control the government. pic.twitter.com/P0Kyj8z9I7

He finished his speech by threatening Jews, saying “their time is up” and that Jews will burn in hell. pic.twitter.com/vlcuJI0Ldd

One of those in attendance was Women’s March co-founder Tamika Mallory. She not only refused to condemn his antisemitism, but even tweeted rapper Mysonne, known for espousing antisemitic sentiments himself.
Love my brother for life! https://t.co/3gb2g9FmVj

She also responded to this tweet about fellow rapper Talib Kweli, who has also tweeted antisemitic things

with some more love
My brother! Love you, Talib!

But the rot runs even deeper among the Women’s march leaders.
After a Jewish Twitter user took Tamika Mallory to task for her support of Farrakhan, someone called Minister Kirsten John Foy defended Farrakhan while deflecting to attack Israeli PM Netanyahu. Because apparently all Jews must support him. As if all of that wasn’t enough to indicate his antisemitism, Minister Foy tweeted that the Jewish woman had a wicked spirit in her heart, and prayed that Jesus would cast it out!
At this point, Women’s March co-founder Linda Sarsour decided to chime in and condemn this blatant antisemitism.
Just kidding.
Yes, that’s right. She jumped in to defend him.
And still no word from her about Farrakhan – which is not surprising given she spoke and participated at a Nation of Islam event in 2015. Not that we didn’t already know how much she admires him and the Nation of Islam.
When called out for her defense of these antisemites, Sarsour whipped out her boilerplate response:
I’m not buying it.
Linda, I’m ‘woke’ to you.
