Louis Farrakhan is not someone you want to brag about knowing. Unless you are proud about being friendly with an avowed anti-Semite and all-around general bigot. And apparently, there are a couple people who are proud of it.

Women’s March co-founder Tamika Mallory attended Farrakhan’s recent speech. She then got rightly called out by the ADL for attending the speech.

Anti-Defamation League: In a speech Sunday, notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan claimed that Jews control the government and FBI, and use marijuana to feminize black men—with one @womensmarch organizer in attendance and another applauding from afar. https://t.co/bO2WPqse1D pic.twitter.com/20dk6F9iw3

There is a persistent unwillingness to acknowledge that two of the organizers of the @womensmarch are groupies of Louis Farrakhan, whose anti-Semitism and homophobia rivals Richard Spencer's. They're very open about it! pic.twitter.com/HDUwwUV2zw

On Sunday, Rev. Farrakhan gave his Saviours' Day 2018 Address, attended by thousands including one of the co-founders of the Women's March.https://t.co/WE5ys7It8R

Read this thread. Then read it again. Opposing anti-Semitism and any other form of bigotry means opposing it across the board, whether the hate festers among your political opponents or allies. A lot of people have trouble doing this. https://t.co/1GEkEETd43

Read Anti-Defamation League director @JGreenblattADL on Louis Farrakhan—"quite possibly, the most popular anti-Semite in America"—and his high profile fans, from organizers of @womensmarch to sitting members of Congress. Don't look away. https://t.co/5uxLnQxXJP

Mallory got upset because she was being called out, and then went on a bizarre rant.

If your leader does not have the same enemies as Jesus, they may not be THE leader! Study the Bible and u will find the similarities. Ostracizing, ridicule and rejection is a painful part of the process…but faith is the substance of things!

I am not a slave. I am a strong black woman who will not live in fear of any man or woman. You can try to take everything I have, but only GOD can have ME.

— Tamika D. Mallory (@TamikaDMallory) March 1, 2018

But it’s okay, because Tamika Mallory has Linda Sarsour defending her! Oh wait…

1. Jew asks @womensmarch co-chair why she supports American anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan
2. Anti-Semite replies "but Israel," as if that justifies Farrakhan's hate, then calls for Jesus to cast "wicked spirit" out of the Jew
3. Linda Sarsour interjects to defend … the anti-Semite pic.twitter.com/Ro1Ss1jLhg

Real talk:

"Don't praise, patronize, or take adulatory selfies with a guy who says Jews are the 'synagogue of Satan' and did 9/11" is the lowest of low bars.

If you can't manage it, don't pretend to care about anti-Semitism.

— (((Yair Rosenberg))) (@Yair_Rosenberg) March 4, 2018

*Jews wave flags with Jewish stars at leftist march*

"It's triggering and they must be kicked out."

*Women's March chairs take selfies w/ Farrakhan, attend speech where he says Jews are Satanic and use Hollywood to make people trans.*

"Pipe down, Jews. Here, have some nuance."

Oh, but you see, Tamika is FIGHTING. EVERY DAY. Just because she attends a Farrakhan speech, it doesn’t mean that she isn’t totally “woke” and “intersectional.”

It’s important to understand that my sisters @lsarsour @msladyjustice1 and me live under constant attack. So while some folks say all they want is to understand more about me, other people don’t care who I am, they just want to tear us down.

— Tamika D. Mallory (@TamikaDMallory) March 3, 2018

The attacks can make us defensive at times. We are literally fighting for our lives. With that being said, someone bought to my attention that over the past few days I never tweeted my absolute position on how wrong anti-semitism and homophobia is.

— Tamika D. Mallory (@TamikaDMallory) March 3, 2018

Because we work so hard on behalf of ALL people. Because we have done intersectional work for 20+ years, we believe it is clear who we are. And it is clear. What I know is these latest attacks are not just abt my views & beliefs. It’s bigger than what many even understand +

— Tamika D. Mallory (@TamikaDMallory) March 3, 2018

The black community is very complex. We have been & continue to suffer thru incomparable circumstances. This means other ppl may not understand how we organize and all that it takes to deal with our pain. I am dedicated to bringing ppl together. However, I will not be bullied!

— Tamika D. Mallory (@TamikaDMallory) March 3, 2018

Notice that nowhere in these tweets does Mallory say, “I disavow the opinions that Louis Farrakhan has about Jews or the LGBT community.” How hard would that be? Apparently, it was too hard – and it caught Jake Tapper’s attention.

1/ Wherein the co-chair of the @womensmarch, amidst criticism of her attendance at an anti-Semitic Farrakhan speech, tweets praise for those leaders who "have the same enemies as Jesus." https://t.co/LaZlYobsGj

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) March 2, 2018

2/ This convo, too, is a hot mess.
a) A woman asks Mallory about Farrakhan
b) Minister Foy immediately hops in and demands that she answer for Netanyahu (?)
c) Women's March board member Linda Sarsour jumps in to encourage Foy. https://t.co/1rsd1YABai

Another Farrakhan gem: "You lazy woman. You don't know how to cook so you take your children to these damn fast food places." @womensmarch: Down with the patriarchy….except when it comes to Muslim men.https://t.co/YCMNefwWpP

— Asra Q. Nomani (@AsraNomani) March 4, 2018

This is another good question when it comes to @WomensMarch leaders @TamikaDMallory/@lsarsour support for Farrakhan — in addition to his anti-Semitism he espouses misogynistic and anti-LGBTQ views.

How is that true to the cause of the @WomensMarch? https://t.co/u81V2Vl3Mp

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) March 4, 2018

At its very core, the Women’s March has a problem with anti-Semitism. The leaders are just becoming more obvious about it now.

And the Democratic party is going to have even more Farrakhan problems, and we’re not just talking about the old Obama picture that was finally released after years of hiding it in the name of protecting Obama.

It seems that Rep. Danny Davis of Illinois is not ashamed of being friends with Farrakhan.

Spoke on the phone with @RepDannyDavis today — Davis confirmed he's buddies with Farrakhan, said he wants people to get over the whole anti-Semitism thing: "The world is so much bigger than Farrakhan and the Jewish question and his position on that and so forth" — Story to come

— Peter J. Hasson (@peterjhasson) March 4, 2018

"I know Farrakhan, been knowing him for years and years and years and years and years…" https://t.co/wr0VtDCDZF

— Peter J. Hasson (@peterjhasson) March 4, 2018

He actually brags about it.

“I’m a pretty global individual. So I know Farrakhan, I know the Middle East question, I know the Jews and Farrakhan — I know all that, but that’s not what I spend all my time focused on,” Davis continued, breaking into a laugh. “I know Farrakhan, been knowing him for years and years and years and years and years, and every once in a while some writer or somebody will I guess try to think of something to say about Farrakhan, but nah, my world is so much bigger than any of that. I don’t have time for that. I deal with it, you know, when it comes but nah, that’s not a real part of my focus.”

“That’s just one segment of what goes on in our world. The world is so much bigger than Farrakhan and the Jewish question and his position on that and so forth. For those heavy into it, that’s their thing, but it ain’t my thing,” he said

Davis also said that he knows Farrakhan better than Democratic Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, a former Nation of Islam member who repeatedly attended meetings with Farrakhan during his time in Congress.

When TheDC asked Davis about Farrakhan’s history of anti-Semitic comments, the congressman was dismissive and said that many people in politics have a history of inflammatory comments.

Wow.

oof did he really say “the Jewish question” ?

— andrew kaczynski (@KFILE) March 4, 2018

Not great phrasing

— andrew kaczynski (@KFILE) March 4, 2018

That’s one way to put it.

"The Jewish question" evokes some pretty damn stark connotations. https://t.co/jMtdhLym66

— Kyle Feldscher (@Kyle_Feldscher) March 4, 2018

“The Jewish Question” is not a great a line from a member of Congress! https://t.co/WiwQODVAah

— Josh Billinson (@jbillinson) March 4, 2018

I wonder if Davis will be allowed to walk away from the hole he just dug for himself. If a Republican had said such a thing about their personal friendship with Richard Spencer or David Duke, do you think they would be asked about it again? And again, and again, and again, and every other Republican would be asked about it, too?

Farrakhan is a horrific human being and no one should gain any advantage by claiming him as a friend or ally. Why is the left, who screams about “Nazis” and “white supremacists,” not yelling about this?

No see, you all just don’t understand

Black anti semitism is very different to white anti semitism

— Mujahed Kobbe (@Moj_kobe) March 4, 2018

Apparently.
