(Jewish Group) Alyssa Milano shows Farrakhan who's the boss, won't speak at women's rally [View all]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Actress and activist Alyssa Milano said she won’t speak at the next Women’s March if it is organized by two current leaders who will not condemn antisemite Louis Farrakhan.


In an interview with The Advocate published last week, Milano criticized Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour for not distancing themselves from the Nation of Islam leader, who has repeatedly made antisemitic, homophobic and transphobic comments.


“Any time that there is any bigotry or antisemitism in that respect, it needs to be called out and addressed. I’m disappointed in the leadership of the Women’s March that they haven’t done it adequately,” Milano said.


Earlier this year, Mallory was criticized for not speaking out after she attended an event during which Farrakhan said, “the powerful Jews are my enemy.”


Sarsour later defended Mallory from criticism.
