Can you imagine if a couple of people who were really close to KKK Kingpin David Duke came to Seattle and organized a march?
The left in Seattle would never go for that.
Well, actually, in some ways, they would. Because on Saturday, 30,000 women are expected in downtown Seattle for the third annual Women’s March.

You may remember, a couple of years ago when this thing first started to gel nationwide, I told you all about the organizers of the national Women’s March movement — particularly a woman named Tamika Mallory.
Tamika Mallory believes that the equivalent of David Duke, Louis Farrakhan — one of the most antisemitic, homophobic, racist people in the country — is, as she put in a post on social media, the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time).
So tomorrow, the Women’s March, this organization founded in part by Tamika Mallory — who consulted with Louis Farrakhan as she was planning this nationwide movement — will take to the streets of Seattle.
The local march organizers say that they are a chapter of the national Women’s March movement. Even the Democratic National Committee, which was a sponsor of the Women’s March, pulled out last week, because more and more media outlets have exposed the group’s connections to Louis Farrakhan.
I’m amazed that Seattle news stations are not mentioning this organization’s ties to Farrakhan. Farrakhan’s quotes have included the following:
“The satanic Jews that control everything and mostly everybody”
“The wicked ones in the Jewish community that … own the banks, own the means of communication, they are my enemies.”
“The Hollywood members of the Jewish community single-handedly made same-sex marriage legal … how are you going to tell me you have a covenant relationship with God? … You are the chosen of Satan.”
Are you 30,000 women comfortable with that? Let me tell you a little about Women’s March co-founder Tamika Mallory.
She went on “The View,” where she refused to condemn his statements. That is the root of its movement.
At its very core building blocks, it was a virulently antisemitic and anti-gay movement. Even politicians on the left, like Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) are starting to dissociate themselves from the Women’s March on social media, saying they won’t participate.
I must walk away from the national Women’s March organization, and join local marches who distanced themselves from national leaders allied with bigotry. We must demand the same principles from our movement as we do from our society.https://t.co/Lid5yClHTj

It is funny that people are just now finding out about the association with Louis Farrakhan. I talked about it two years ago on my show.
How do you get 30,000 Seattle liberals to come out in the streets for the local chapter of an organization whose co-founder calls Louis Farrakhan the “greatest of all time?” The Women’s March founder won’t denounce his statements.
She won’t reject them. Are you going to hold up signs saying that the ‘Satan-chosen Jews of Hollywood are responsible for gay marriage?’ Because that is the foundation’s part of the Women’s March movement.
