The DNC Drops Its Support Of Upcoming Women's March Following Anti-Semitism Allegations

The Democratic National Committee is one of the largest groups to drop out as a sponsor for the 2019 Women's March, which is preparing for weekend rallies in Washington, D.C.

Allegations of Women's March Inc. supporting antisemitic views were confirmed when its leaders, co-presidents Tamika Mallory and Bob Bland, appeared on ABC's The View and refused to excoriate Louis Farrakhan.


Farrakhan is an African American nationalist and leader of the controversial religious group, Nation of Islam, and is known for expressing his animosity towards the Jewish community.

He often goes on public antisemitic rants and once compared the Jews to "termites."

The DNC unceremoniously pulled out from the sponsor list within 24 hours after the WMI leaders' nationally televised appearance, according to The Daily Beast.

Sabrina Singh, DNC deputy communications director, explained the reason for the committee's withdrawal.

"The DNC stands in solidarity with all those fighting for women's rights and holding the Trump administration and Republican lawmakers across the country accountable."
"Women are on the front lines of fighting back against this administration and are the core of our Democratic Party."

Mallory defended Farrakhan when the morning talk show co-host Sunny Hostin inquired about an Instagram photo of the WMI leader posing with the nationalist.

"Thank God this man is still alive and doing well. He is definitely the GOAT. Happy Birthday @louisfarrakhan!," Mallory wrote for the Instagram caption, invoking the acronym for "Greatest Of All Time."



"I didn't call him the greatest of all time because of his rhetoric," Mallory said. "I called him the greatest of all time because of what he's done in black communities."

View co-host Meghan McCain then asked:

"You're talking about women, you should be talking about all women, including Jewish women and conservative women. Do you condemn Farrakhan's remarks about Jewish people?"

But Mallory denied making any statements excluding the Jewish community.

"We didn't make those remarks. I don't agree with many of Minister Farrakhan's statements."

"Do you condemn them?" McCain persisted.

"I don't agree with these statements," Mallory said. "It's not my language, it's not the way that I speak, it's not how I organize... I should never be judged through the lens of a man."

The co-host confirmed:

"You won't condemn it."




The first Women's March kicked off in 2017, a day after Donald Trump's presidential inauguration. An estimated 700,000 participants gathered in Washington in addition to 4 million, globally.

However, participation numbers diminished for the March's second year and Dana R. Fisher, a University of Maryland sociology professor, attributes it to WMI co-opting the campaign.

"The movement is not just one organization. It is extremely unfortunate there is this implosion going on. It's really distracting, and it's very possible it's going to distract from turnout."


Many people called out Mallory for her aligning with Farrakhan.













But others who passionately believe in the movement urged others to continue fighting the good fight.




The Southern Poverty Law Center, which officially designated Farrakhan's Nation of Islam as a hate group, have also dropped out as a sponsor for the 2019 Women's March.

SPLC spokeswoman Jen Fuson cited "other projects were a priority," but added they would still participate on a local level in cities where the nonprofit advocacy organization have offices.

The Daily Beast also indicated that less than 550 of the sponsors from the 2018 list are returning to participate for the March's third year.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
