With Women’s March leaders being exposed for their mad love for Farrakhan, you’d think they’d try a little harder to do damage control.
And you’d be wrong:
Anti-Semitism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, racism and white supremacy are and always will be indefensible.

We read the statement. Several times. And unless we’re crazy, we didn’t see anything remotely resembling an apology. Excuses? Yes. Deflection? Plenty. But an apology? Nope.
Not an apology. https://t.co/mkWpR6Ps6O

Still no condemnation of Farrakhan. DISGUSTING https://t.co/GREATy3BKo

To be fair, can we really expect a group led by hateful, anti-Semitic bigots to condemn the Grand Poobah of hateful, anti-Semitic bigots?
But… you still have anti-Semites in the highest levels of your organization. https://t.co/IwESf0JAuE

Same as it ever was.

The Women’s March believes in zero tolerance, all right. But that policy’s not for anti-Semites like Farrakhan, Linda Sarsour, or Tamika Mallory.

Shame on them. If they’re sorry about anything, it’s that they’ve been exposed as the human excrement they are.

Not good enough. Mallory and Sarsour need to resign from the Women's march. I'll continue to support my local march in Philly but I cannot continue to support the national march until there is a change in leadership. Unfollowing.

No apology.
No condemnation of Louis Farrakhan.
No explanation for why @womensmarch leaders decided to pal around with one of the most famous bigoted, racist, misogynist, anti-Semitic charlatans in the entire world.
I guess #LoveTrumpsHate means never having to say you’re sorry. https://t.co/pov3qXj7pM— JERRY DUNLEAVY (@JerryDunleavy) March 6, 2018
