Another Hollywood Actress Joins Alyssa Milano in Condemning Anti-Semitic Women's March Leaders
Debra Messing, star of “Will & Grace” and a noted progressive activist has joined with fellow actress/activist Alyssa Milano in condemning anti-Semitic leaders of the infamous Women’s March.
In all honesty, given how much the left seems to hate Israel, this is sort of amazing.
Messing tweeted out an article from The Advocate, in which Milano pledges not to speak at January’s repeat Women’s March and denounces the group over its connection to anti-Semitic hate preacher Louis Farrakhan.

Milano told The Advocate that she is uncomfortable with the connection between Women’s March leaders Tamika Mallory, Carmen Perez, and Linda Sarsour and the Chicago-based leader of the Nation of Islam. Milano did not mince words in condemning the anti-Semitism she’s seen crop up on the Left, and called upon the three women to denounce Farrakhan.
“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 said. “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.”
Sarsour has often been accused of anti-Semitism, attending Farrakhan’s events and defending the virulently anti-Semitic leader. Just last week, in a post-election appearance on Democracy Now’s livestream network, Sarsour, who appointed herself a leader in the Women’s March’s efforts to battle anti-Semitism, blamed the Democratic Party’s support for the nation of Israel for its lackluster performance in the 2018 midterms.
At the end of the day, there’s a whole lot of anti-Semitism coming from the progressive movement, which is why it’s so shocking to see two very outspoken liberals in Hollywood come out and condemn Sarsour for being associated with Farrakhan.
Perhaps some folks are starting to wake up, ditching the progressive kool-aid and look into individual issues for themselves. This is a practice people on both left and right could benefit from doing a bit more of in our highly divisive political climate.
Most issues are much more complicated than either side cares to admit.
