"As if on cue, Rev. Louis Farrakhan is back in the political spotlight spouting his familiar anti-Semitic, homophobic views — just in time to make Democrats squirm ahead of a crucial election.
The 84-year-old Leader of the Nation of Islam last week delivered a fiery speech in Chicago honoring the founder of his church, the late Wallace Fard Muhammad. In the speech, Farrakhan quickly returned to his favorite rhetorical target: Jews.
“The powerful Jews are my enemy,” Farrakhan proclaimed, later adding that he himself, “by God’s grace, has pulled the cover off that Satanic Jew.”
Farrakhan said Jews “were responsible for all of this filth and degenerate behavior that Hollywood is putting out, turning men into women and women into men.”
Those are familiar themes for Farrakhan, along with his assertion that “White folks are going down,” but what made headlines was that Tamika D. Mallory, one of four national co-chairs of the Women’s March movement, was in attendance.
In an op-ed, Jonathan Greenblatt, the National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, called out Mallory and and Women’s March co-founders Carmen Perez and Linda Sansour for their frequent support of Farrakhan."
