The embattled ‘Women’s March’ organization continued to struggle this week; with the group’s New Orleans chapter canceling a keynote event over “drastically declining” support and attendees as allegations of rampant anti-Semitism swirl.
“Organizers of the Women’s March in New Orleans have decided to cancel their Jan. 19 sister march, saying that participation and fundraising have dropped ‘drastically’ in the wake of outrage surrounding the national co-chairs,” writes the Washington Times.
“Due to several issues we have decided it is necessary to cancel the 2019 Women’s March in New Orleans,” said a statement from the organization.
“Many of the sister marches have asked the leaders of Women’s March, Inc. to resign but as of today, they have yet to do so,” said the National Organization for Women’s Baton Rouge office. “The controversy is dampening efforts of sister marches to fundraise, enlist involvement, find sponsors and attendee numbers have drastically declined this year. New Orleans is no exception.”

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.”

LEFT vs LEFT: Women's March Activists Boycott… Bernie Sanders?
“I was so excited for this. Just cancelled my trip,” one woman told the Washington Examiner. “How can a man who called Planned Parenthood the ‘establishment,’ says women’s reproductive rights are negotiable, wrote rape fantasies deliver … [an] opening night speech for women? How can this be?”
The three-day event, titled “Reclaiming Our Time” is set to take place in Michigan towards the end of October. The name is a reference to California Congresswoman Maxine Waters’ infamous rant on the House floor, repeating the phrase over a dozen times during a Congressional hearing.
