US Women’s March: Controversy around co-president
Tamika Mallory, a co-president of the US Women’s March, refuses to condemn Louis Farrakhan’s anti-Jewish views, prompting some sponsors to withdraw from the event.
A controversy about Jewish insults is threatening to overshadow a mass march by American women.
One of the organisers attended a rally with the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan and has since refused to condemn the reverend’s history of making anti-Jewish remarks.
Although the march appears to be becoming a fixture on the US political landscape, some organisations and sponsors have pulled out of this weekend’s event in the US capital.
