Credit where credit is due: ultra-liberal actress, strident Trump foe, and #MeToo activist Alyssa Milano, who somehow got a prime seat at the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, has disavowed the Women’s March over its association with anti-Semitism.
I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.
Voting is sexy.

From The Advocate:
“Any time that there is any bigotry or anti-Semitism in that respect, it needs to be called out and addressed. I’m disappointed in the leadership of the Women’s March that they haven’t done it adequately,’ Milano says now, referring to leaders of the Women’s March who’ve refused to denounce Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic, homophobic, and transphobic statements…
“Milano has noticed the silence from the Women’s March regarding Farrakhan’s hatemongering and won’t stand for it; nor will she speak at the next Women’s March if it’s still led by [Linda] Sarsour or [Tamika] Mallory, if asked to make an appearance.
Alyssa Milano says she will not speak at the next Women's March as long as Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory remain a part of the leadership and refuse to condemn Louis Farrakhan's anti-semitism. https://t.co/GvrrZ5fyPy

“‘I would say no at this point. Unfortunate that none of them have come forward against him at this point. Or even given a really good reason why to support them,’ she says.”
Another far-leftist, actress and progressive champion Debra Messing agrees with Milano

When Milano recently got “Loomered” over this issue particularly as it relates to Sarsour, she brushed off the accusations leveled by journalist Laura Loomer. See clip below.
For whatever reason or combination of reasons, Milano has changed her tune, so Loomer apparently got through to her nonetheless.

Added: A German think-tank has pulled an award that it planned to bestow on the Women’s March, Legal Insurrection reported Monday.
“The Friedrich Ebert Foundation, a leading left-wing German think tank, has called off its plans to honor the Woman’s March USA over allegations of antisemitism. Two leaders of the group, Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory, have not shied away from displaying their affection for notorious anti-Semite and racist Louis Farrakhan. The foundation, affiliated to Germany’s ruling Social Democratic party, rescinded the award after weeks of protests from academics and researchers associated with the state-funded organisation, German newspapers report.”
