Yesterday I highlighted some criticism of Nation of Islam founder Louis Farrakhan by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. Tapper and Greenblatt were responding to a 3-hour long speech Farrakhan gave last Sunday to a large crowd in Chicago. The speech included a long list of anti-Semitic and anti-white statements. For instance, “White folks are going down. And Satan is going down. And Farrakhan…has pulled the cover off the eyes of that Satanic Jew and I’m here to say your time is up, your world is through.”

One of the people in attendance at the speech was Women’s Day co-founder Tamika Mallory. Mallory even posted some photos from the inside the arena on her Instagram page. The question asked by the ADL’s Greenblatt is why Mallory, and other fans of Farrakhan, refuse to denounce his blatant racism?

In the audience at last weekend’s conference was Tamika Mallory, one of the leaders of the Women’s March, who got a special shout-out from Farrakhan and who regularly posts laudatory pictures of him on her Instagram account — as does Carmen Perez, another leader of the March. Linda Sarsour, another March organizer, spoke and participated at a Nation of Islam event in 2015. Her most notable response to his incendiary remarks this year was a glowing post on Perez’s Facebook page to praise Farrakhan’s youthful demeanor.

Today, Tamika Mallory responded to the charge that she tolerates Farrakhan’s anti-Semitism not by denouncing his statements but by offering more anti-Semitism:

If your leader does not have the same enemies as Jesus, they may not be THE leader! Study the Bible and u will find the similarities. Ostracizing, ridicule and rejection is a painful part of the process…but faith is the substance of things!

Hmmm. Which enemies of Jesus do you think she’s talking about. Well, we don’t have to guess who Louis Farrakhan thinks they are. In 2014 he told an audience at another speech in Chicago, “Do you know that the enemies of Jesus were the Jews of his day and the Roman authorities? That wasn’t 2000 years ago alone. That’s today!” And a year earlier, Farrakhan said, “Did you know that Jesus had a real problem with the Jewish community? They had power, the rabbis of that day, over the Roman authorities just as they have power today over our government.”

So Farrakhan sees himself as emulating Jesus by having the same enemies and Mallory says to check the Bible because real leaders will have the same enemies as Jesus. It’s not too hard to figure out who she is referring to.

As the Free Beacon points out, a few minutes later Mallory praised a NY rapper condemning those who refused to defend her honor:

Love my brother for life! https://t.co/3gb2g9FmVj

It's hard to see these people attacking @TamikaDMallory calling her a antisemite and not seeing those who know better speak up. This will pass and she will Emerge but I will never forget the Silence of her friends, who can help her. NEVER!!

Mysonne then went on to offer his own defense of Farrakhan’s anti-Semitism:

You want me to dis associate myself with someone who had transformed more black lives , created more unity honorable, respectful , peaceful entrepreneurs than anyone I've Ever seen because he has a view you don't agree with, but no one is able to dispute the historical references

— Mysonne NY General (@Mysonne) March 1, 2018

Farrakhan’s racism is just a difference of opinion about whether “all Jews are evil”:

Because I may not believe all Jews are Evil I should not support a man who also has took hundreds of thousands of blacks who would be dead and turned them into successful, peaceful citizens

— Mysonne NY General (@Mysonne) March 1, 2018

It’s different from David Duke because…

To disagree with farakhan is understandable but to act as if the violence, pain, control and destruction that people he has evidence that are in fact Jewish have imposed on Blacks is not Realistic.

— Mysonne NY General (@Mysonne) March 1, 2018

Everyone should just get over Farrakhan’s racism and stop tearing him down:

Nobody should ignore anything that's why you should understand people who aren't ready to forgive and forget and show the unity that we belief is God's ultimate plan , instead of seeking to tare someone down who has been responsible for saving the lives of more blacks than any 1

— Mysonne NY General (@Mysonne) March 2, 2018

That Nation of Islam is like Wakanda (there are no Jews there either I guess):

Once again my friends aren't all people who mirror my views and beliefs , but they are people of good moral character. Minister farakhan is responsible for building the closest thing to wakanda blacks have ever seen. He teaches, peace and love and unity, THATS what I support

— Mysonne NY General (@Mysonne) March 2, 2018

Some of my best friends are Jews!

I know beautiful Jews, some of my best friends are Jews. I don't have anything against Jews. That's why I told you , your argument is with the wrong people.

— Mysonne NY General (@Mysonne) March 2, 2018

Anyway, you get the picture. Tamika Mallory’s response to charges she embraces a leading anti-Semite is to suggest Jesus also had Jewish enemies. She was also backed up by someone who thinks Farrakhan is aces and that his claims about Jews are either no big deal in light of his Wakanda-level achievements or maybe backed up by evidence.

You can imagine how well all of this would go over if we were talking about a racist like Richard Spencer instead of Louis Farrakhan. Anyone defending him in this way would (rightly) never live it down. Let’s see if Tamika Mallory (and the other friends of Farrakhan who are co-founders of the Women’s March) continue to get a pass on this.
