Farrakhan gets a pass on anti-Semitism

Tell us, Mr. Farrakhan, what do you think of Heinrich Himmler?

Many progressives look the other way and fail to denounce the minister’s* bigotry.   *Shouldn't this word be "Imam"?

"For the past couple of years, Republican leaders, and Donald Trump in particular, have been plagued by accusations of condoning anti-Semitism in the far-right segments of Trump’s base. But the latest anti-Semitism scandal has erupted among progressive left-wing Democrats — and they aren’t handling it any better than the Trumpists.

"On Feb. 25, Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, gave a speech in Chicago in which he repeatedly and venomously assailed the “satanic Jew.” Anti-Jewish invective from Farrakhan is nothing new; the Anti-Defamation League calls him “the leading anti-Semite in America.” He has blamed Jews for the Sept. 11 attacks, apartheid, the slave trade and Hollywood degeneracy.

"What raised some eyebrows is the fact that Tamika Mallory, a co-chair of the Women’s March — the flagship of the anti-Trump resistance — attended the event and posted about it on Instagram.

"This is no isolated incident. Mallory wrote an enthusiastic social media post about Farrakhan’s appearance in Detroit two years ago. And she was involved in organizing his Justice or Else rally in Washington in 2015, along with two Women’s March co-chairs, fellow New Yorkers Carmen Perez and Linda Sarsour (who has faced allegations of anti-Semitism)." . . .
