The Democratic National Committee appeared to pull its sponsorship of the Women’s March after some members of the event’s leadership refused to distance themselves from Louis Farrakhan, who has been widely condemned for making anti-Semitic remarks.
The DNC’s name disappeared from the Women’s March sponsorship webpage sometime this week, according to a cache of the website. The group is planning a mass protest event on Jan. 19 in Washington, D.C., its third annual event.
Several members of the Women’s March have been embroiled in controversy in recent months over their affiliation with Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam who has a long history of anti-Semitic rhetoric. Two leaders of the group, Tamika Mallory and Carmen Perez, have posted photos with the man on Instagram, and Mallory refused to denounce Farrakhan in an appearance on “The View” this week.
“I didn’t call him the greatest of all time because of his rhetoric,” Mallory said in the interview, referencing a social media post in which she referred to Farrakhan as GOAT. “I called him the greatest of all time because of what he’s done in black communities.”

OMG they were photographed together at a Congressional Black Caucus meeting in 2005
Great find
I'm sure this is going to hurt Obama's chances of getting elected POTUS
Any time you're photographed with someone it means you condone everything they have ever done or said or will do or say in the future....right?
-
Farrakhan has been condemned - but they failed to mention by whom.
I know that there have to be some blue dog dems left wondering what the hell is going on with the party at this point.

Yeah, I'm sure if Trump took a photo with the head of the KKK you'd have nothing to say. ::)

Oh yeah? Then why was that photo hidden from the public for many years and not released until after Obama's second term in office?

The KKK?
What's that?
Trump has never heard of the KKK or David Duke
In spite of being self proclaimed genius somehow he grew up in this country without ever knowing anything about the KKK or David Duke
What are they all about again?

I'm sure he's heard of them but he doesn't take pics with them like your lover Barry does with Farrakhan.

yeah, I'm sure no one saw either of them there at a meeting of Congressional Black Caucus meeting in 2005
I assume Obama must have invited him to be at that meeting
No way it was just another random picture at Congressional Black Caucus Meeting
Again, that picture clearly proves that Obama is fully responsible for anything Farakhan has ever said or done or will ever say or do.
That's how pictures work...right?

The Photo That Never Saw The Light of Day: Obama With Farrakhan In 2005
January 25, 2018 2:16 pm
A journalist announced last week that he will publish a photograph of then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama (D) and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan that he took in 2005 at a Congressional Black Caucus meeting, but did not make public because he believed it would have “made a difference” to Obama’s political future.
The photographer, Askia Muhammad, told the Trice Edney News Wire that he “gave the picture up at the time and basically swore secrecy.”

LOL - so the photographer chose to withhold this photo
I guess no one else was in the room or saw it or knew about it
Good thing the media didn't know about Obama relationship with Bill Ayers. Surely that would have doomed Obama and damn good thing those picture of Obama in Kenyan clothing never saw the light of day. He would have been doomed
Remember how the right wing used to blame Obama for the beliefs of his father who he never even knew
Obama is such a foreigner (something you can relate to) that Fox news even spent valuable air time to mock his choice of condiments

you're wrong
Trump has no clue what the KKK is all about and has no clue who David Duke is or what he believes.
He just doesn't know anything about him

Strawman on a TDS tirade today, his therapist must be out of town.

Once again, this brings to light the nature of the left, disparate groups that really have nothing in common and don’t like each other.

how is it delusion to point out that Trump has no clue who David Duke is or what he stands for and isn't really sure what the KKK is about either
that seems normal
right?

Whoa! No need to lash out at strangers on the internet. Check your toxic masculinity at the log in screen.

LOL- settle down cupcake
No one is lashing out
Just pointing out the fact that Trump says he has no clue who David Duke or the KKK are
Sure, he's said he has a very good brain and is a stable genius but he can't be expected to know these obscure groups and people

At least I admit I would love a fling w Cortez. Bro - you are so hard for trump it’s scary

Why are you now changing the subject? Bill Ayers? WTF? I thought we were talking about Louis Farrakhan, who is openly anti-Semitic.
Doesn't matter who was in the room and saw it. They didn't have the photo to prove it. The photo was kept from the public for a reason.

I see you didn't highlight the second part of my statement.
