Women’s March Leader Defends Farrakhan

During a Monday morning appearance on ABC’s The View, Women’s March co-chair Tamika Mallory defended her past praise for notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan by claiming her praise is not for his hateful rhetoric, but for what he’s “done in black communities.”

National Review reports Mallory called Farrakhan the “greatest of all time” on Instagram after she attended an event in which the Nation of Islam leader gave a speech, during which he described Jews as “satanic” and dubbed them his “enemy.”

Pressed by the The View’s Meghan McCain, Mallory refused to denounce Farrakhan and insinuated that asking her to do so amounted to sexism.

After Mallory’s Instagram post, a number of regional Women’s March chapters, as well as original Women’s March founder Theresa Shook, disaffiliated from the organization.
