Women\u2019s March co-founder Teresa Shook called on its current organizers to step down Monday, saying they \u201callowed anti-Semitism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In a Facebook post, Shook said Bob Bland, Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour and Carmen Perez \u201chave steered the Movement away from its true course.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn opposition to our Unity Principles, they have allowed anti-Semitism, anti-LBGTQIA sentiment and hateful, racist rhetoric to become a part of the platform by their refusal to separate themselves from groups that espouse these racist, hateful beliefs,\u201d Shook wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n

The controversy surrounding the Women\u2019s March arose from Mallory\u2019s ties to anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Earlier this year, Mallory was criticized for not speaking out after she attended an event during which Farrakhan said \u201cthe powerful Jews are my enemy\u201d and accused \u201cSatanic Jews\u201d of having a \u201cgrip on the media.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
