As I mentioned earlier, the leaders of the Women’s March are trying to save their now crumbling organization by going on a media tour.
THIS didn’t help:
Women’s March’s @TamikaDMallory defends calling @LouisFarrakhan the “greatest of all time”
“I didn’t call him the greatest of all time because of his rhetoric I called him the greatest of all time because of what he’s done in black communities.”

ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME?!
SHE’S LITERALLY DOUBLING DOWN ON SUPPORTING A MONSTER.
As she has, over and over, and over again:
Thank God this man is still alive and doing well. He is definitely the GOAT. Happy Birthday… https://t.co/WKC38G6TW2

As recently as a year ago she had no hesitation to take ownership of the “GOAT” comment. pic.twitter.com/Kin4QgohFm

At the time of my first post, I had not seen Meghan McCain’s entire response. I have now… and it’s GOOOOD.
.@TamikaDMallory: I didn’t call Farrakhan the greatest of all time because of his rhetoric, I called him that because of what he’s done for black communities.@MeghanMcCain blasts her for praising him, as well as the rejection of conservative women by @womensmarch pic.twitter.com/8Ez8xgLKif

Let me just interject very quickly. I would never be comfortable supporting someone who called, “I’m not anti-Semite; I’m anti-termite.” “It’s the wicked Jews, the false Jews, that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality …” I actually spoke with the journalist from Tablet Magazine who released a investigation report on your organization, and in part they allege that there’s a lot of anti-Semitism surrounding this march. Specifically this report alleged that you, Tamika, and co-founder Carmen Perez asserted that “Jewish people had a history of exploiting black people and were proven to be leaders of the American slave trade.”
Now a lot of people, and by a lot of people I include me in this, think you’re using your organization as anti-Semitism masked in activism, and that you’re using identity politics to shield yourself from critiques. You’re talking about all women being invited to that march? I’m pro-life; we were not invited; we were not allowed at that march right there. I’m a conservative woman; I also represent — you’re talking about women? You’re talking about all women, including Jewish women as well and conservative women.
YES! THIS!
