The Women’s March in Chicago has just cancelled their rally in Chicago after reports of anti-Semitism in the ranks of their leadership:
DAILY CALLER – The Chicago chapter of the Women’s March has opted to cancel the rally they had scheduled for Jan. 19 amid reports of anti-Semitism in the national group’s leadership. It was originally scheduled for the same day as similar marches that will take place across the country.
“There’s no march, there’s no rally,” Sara Kurensky, Women’s March Chicago board member, said Tuesday to the Chicago Tribune. “We’re going to provide ways for people to organize and take action in their local communities.”
Women’s March Chicago organizers blamed the expensiveness of the rally and limited volunteers as the reasons behind the cancellation, adding that they would be honoring the anniversary of the first march with another type of event, but have not shared any particulars.
ANTI-SEMITISM
Last month, Tablet Magazine reported that two of the Women’s March’s founders, Carmen Perez and Tamika Mallory, accosted a Jewish woman who was in that meeting, spouting false allegations that Jewish people “bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people,” and “were proven to have been leaders of the American slave trade.”
Earlier this week, Mallory told The New York Times, “We’ve all learned a lot about how while white Jews, as white people, uphold white supremacy, ALL Jews are targeted by it.”
In the same piece, one of the Women’s March founder, Vanessa Wruble, said she was forced out of the group because she was Jewish and other higher-ups like Mallory held anti-Semitic beliefs.
Dang. That’s pretty bad.
Last month we reported on the founder of the group calling both Mallory and Linda Sarsour bigots, saying they needed to be ejected from the group.
And generally, they are a repugnant group that the media loves:
