Louis Farrakhan is a hateful, anti-Semitic bigot. And apparently that’s OK with the Church of Scientology.
This afternoon, Mike Rinder, a former Scientologist and outspoken critic of the cult called them out for refusing to denounce Farrakhan:
Why isn't #scientology @standleague calling out Louis Farrakhan's anti-semitic rants? They claim to be anti-discrimination champions… Oops — Farrakhan loves L. Ron Hubbard so they couldn't ever criticize him. They spend their money to go after #ScientologyTheAftermath instead.

Actress Leah Remini, who works with Rinder on the acclaimed docuseries “Scientology and the Aftermath,” pushed further, shining a spotlight on the media for not pursuing “the unholy alliance” between the Church of Scientology and Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam:
And why aren’t any news organizations covering the unholy alliance bewteeen Scientology and The Nation Of Islam? Google it. @jaketapper https://t.co/qKf3qlLsHD

This should be a much bigger story. Add this to the long list of important stories on which the MSM have dropped the ball.
Very good question @LeahRemini

More news organizations need to grow some balls & speak out about this. So does Hollywood.

As Remini points out, as powerful as the Church of Scientology is, there are still ways to cut them off at the pass. Donald Trump is in a position to take action and hit them where it hurts:
Seems @POTUS isn’t too interested in helping. Right @LynnePatton ? Didn’t you tell me that you guys would be helping the many victims of Scientology? Who everyday get followed, harassed and bullied into silence? Using tax exempt money to do it?

Never said he was the blame. But he can be the solution to this tax exempt organization using its funds to bully and harass those speaking out. Google Scientology Fair Game, look at the stand League websites, freedom media ethics…
