Chicago city officials and event organizers decided to cancel a proposed ‘Women’s March’ rally at world-famous Grant Park this week after the group struggled to respond to multiple allegations of anti-Semitism throughout the organization.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the event -scheduled for January and expected to draw hundreds of thousands of supporters- was abruptly nixed from the city’s calendar over the group’s ongoing relationship with the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan.
“While Women’s March Chicago organizers cited high costs and limited volunteer hours as the main reasons for nixing the annual rally and march, the break comes amid splintering within the national Women’s March leadership following accusations of anti-Semitism and scrutiny of its ties to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan,” writes the Tribune.
“There’s no march, there’s no rally,” said Sara Kurensky, Women’s March Chicago board member. “We’re going to provide ways for people to organize and take action in their local communities.”

HELL FREEZES OVER: CNN RIPS Farrakhan, Women’s March Over ANTI-SEMITIC Remarks
CNN host Jake Tapper called-out the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan and a co-chair of the Women’s March movement on Wednesday, slamming the religious leader for his vicious anti-Semitic remarks at a recent event where he railed against the “Satanic Jew.”
Tapper unloaded on Farrakhan on social media Wednesday following his 2018 Saviour’s Day address, pointing out that a prominent leader of the Women’s March movement was in attendance as he cried out against the “powerful Jews” who are responsible for turning “men into women.”
“On Sunday, Rev. Farrakhan gave his Saviours’ Day 2018 Address, attended by thousands including one of the co-founders of the Women’s March,” wrote the CNN anchor before listing the vicious comments leveled by Farrakhan.
“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,” Farrakhan concluded.
“This is who Farrakhan is,” says Tapper, “It’s why folks are legitimately so offended when they found out that then-Sen. Obama and members of the [Congressional Black Caucus] met with him in 2005.”

LIBERAL CIVIL WAR: Women's March Blasts ‘WHITE MAN’ Chuck Schumer for USING 'People of Color'
Hyper-liberal activist and anti-Trump crusader Linda Sarsour viciously attacked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer this week, blasting the left-wing legislator for being a “white man” who uses “people of color” as “bargaining chips.”
The Women’s March organizer was speaking to a crowd at “A Day of Action Against Trump’s White Supremacy” rally when she randomly set her sights on the leading Democrat, accusing Schumer of using minority communities to play “poker games” with his Congressional colleagues.
“I’m talking to Chuck Schumer,” said Sarsour. “I’m tired of white men negotiating on the backs of people of color and communities like ours. We are not bargaining chips. This is not a poker game.”
“You have a fascist in the highest office of this land who is running ICE, which has always been a rogue agency,” she added. “But now they’re acting like the Gestapo, bullying and picking people up in the middle of the night; dragging people away in front of schools, coming to the church.”
