(Jewish Group) Washington State Chapter Bids Good-by to National Women's March
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)
The Washington state chapter of the Women's March is closing because it can't stomach links of several national leaders to Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan, who doesn't bother to hide his anti-Semitic views.
A spokesperson for the Washington group explained:
Its heartbreaking. Whenever you create something that literally changed your life, its really hard to walk away from it, Angie Beem, a Spokane Valley resident who served as board president of Womens March Washington, told The Spokesman-Review late last week.
Beem said she disbanded the progressive group over its continued alliance with the Nation of Islam and its leader Louis Farrakhan, who has come under fire for many years over his comments that critics have decried as anti-Semitic.
Last year, Linda Sarsour, one of the national groups founders, who didnt return Fox News request for comment, blamed the Jewish media for her and Farrakhans controversial reputation and pushed back against any accusations of anti-Semitism.
The news outlet reported that the local group in Washington last month put out a statement denouncing anti-Semitism, transphobia and any groups supporting those prejudices.
