(JTA) – Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said she “must walk away” from the national Women’s March organization over the alleged failure of its leaders to condemn antisemitism. Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., who participated in the first Women’s March in 2017 in protest against President Donald Trump, made her remarks in an op-ed published Friday, Jan. 18 in USA Today.

At “almost every turn,” she wrote, Women’s March co-leader Tamika Mallory ”has failed to clearly denounce” Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam group, who has a “long history of antisemitism.”

“Instead, she has attended Farrakhan’s speeches and posted her support for him on social media, referring to him as the ‘GOAT’ – or, the Greatest Of All Time,” the congresswoman wrote. “While I still firmly believe in its values and mission, I cannot associate with the national march’s leaders and principles, which refuse to completely repudiate antisemitism and all forms of bigotry.”

Linda Sarsour, another Women’s March leader, wrote last year about “folks who masquerade as progressives but always choose their allegiance to Israel over their commitment to democracy and free speech,” Wasserman Schulz said in the op-ed. “This rhetoric is hurtful and shames the Jewish women who have stood for equality and inclusiveness since before the Women’s March even came into being,” she wrote.

Many Jewish groups have distanced themselves from the movement ahead of its third annual march which took place on Saturday in Washington, D.C., and simultaneously in other cities across the country.
