The @WomensMarch was Always Anti-Semitic frontpagemag.com/point/272212/w…

“According to several sources, it was there—in the first hours of the first meeting for what would become the Women’s March—that something happened that was so shameful to many of those who witnessed it, they chose to bury it like a family secret.”

“It was there that, as the women were opening up about their backgrounds and creating a resistance movement to Trump, Perez and Mallory allegedly asserted that Jewish people bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people—“

“—and even, according to a close secondhand source, claimed that Jews were proven to have been leaders of the American slave trade. These are canards popularized by The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, a book published by Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam—“

At the end of January, according to multiple sources, there was an official debriefing at Mallory’s apartment. In attendance were @TamikaDMallory, Evvie Harmon, Breanne Butler, Vanessa Wruble, Cassady Fendlay, Carmen Perez and @LSarsour.

“...The air was thick with conflict. “We sat in that room for hours,” Harmon told Tablet recently. “Tamika told us that the problem was that there were 5 white women in the room and only 3 women of color, and that she didn’t trust white women.”

“Especially white women from the South. At that point, I kind of tuned out because I was so used to hearing this type of talk from Tamika. But then I noticed the energy in the room changed.”

“I suddenly realized that Tamika and Carmen were facing Vanessa, who was sitting on a couch, and berating her—but it wasn’t about her being white. It was about her being Jewish. ‘Your people this, your people that.’”

”I was raised in the South and the language that was used is language I’m very used to hearing in rural South Carolina. Just instead of against black people, against Jewish people. They even said to her ‘your people hold all the wealth.’ You could hear a pin drop. It was awful.”

When asked whether she believes the co-chairs are anti-Semitic, Morganfield offered a terse answer: “There are no Jewish women on the board. They refused to put any on. Most of the Jewish people resigned and left. They refused to even put anti-Semitism in the unity principles.”

Mercy Morganfield is African-American and the head of the D.C. March.

“There is no LGBTQIA representation on @womensmarch Board of Directors—this is not an intersectional organization—it’s smoke and mirrors,” said Morganfield.

“Their Disability Caucus has one person in it. One. Their Veterans Caucus HAD one person in it. They no longer have a Veterans Caucus.”

But there's lots and lots of Farrakhan supporters.
