Sarsour stands firm amid calls to step down from Women’s March
Controversial Women’s March Co-Chairperson Linda Sarsour is resisting mounting pressure to step down from her post as a leader of the massive female empowerment movement, pressure that now includes a call from the march’s founder for her to resign.
Sarsour, along with co-chairs Bob Bland, Tamika Mallory and Carmen Perez, fired back after Women’s March Founder Teresa Shook wrote a scathing Facebook post suggesting that the four leaders have led the movement astray and should resign.
Charging that Shook “weighed in, irresponsibly,” Sarsour, Bland, Mallory and Perez wrote their own Facebook post defending themselves against accusations that they are too willing to tolerate anti-Semitism and anti-gay biases.
