Eigh­teen months after seem­ing to pull their spon­sor­ship of the Women’s March due to alle­ga­tions of anti-Semi­stim among the group’s lead­er­ship, it appears the Demo­c­ra­t­ic Nation­al Com­mit­tee has wel­comed two of the organization’s con­tro­ver­sial for­mer lead­ers back into the fold. Tami­ka Mal­lo­ry, the for­mer co-pres­i­dent of the Women’s March, spoke briefly dur­ing Monday’s meet­ing of the Black Cau­cus about the impor­tance of secur­ing jus­tice for Bre­on­na Tay­lor, an EMT who was shot by police as they exe­cut­ed a no-knock war­rant at her home in May. In Jan­u­ary 2019, Mal­lo­ry appeared on The View to address crit­i­cism and alle­ga­tions of her team’s lead­er­ship of the Women’s March and over the course of that inter­view refused to denounce Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan—whom she once described on Insta­gram as the GOAT (great­est of all time)—for his anti-Semit­ic and homo­pho­bic rhetoric.  “I didn’t call him the great­est of all time because of his rhetoric,” Mal­lo­ry said at the time. “I called him the great­est of all time because of what he’s done in black communities.”She lat­er said she should not be judged, “through the lens of a man.”Inside Trump and Farrakhan’s Strange Ties to Sci­en­tol­ogy­Less than 24 hours lat­er, the DNC  pulled their spon­sor­ship of the March, one of many spon­sors to do so in the wake of the con­tro­ver­sy that year. On Tues­day, fel­low for­mer Women’s March leader Lin­da Sar­sour, a sup­port­er of Ver­mont Inde­pen­dent Sen. Bernie Sanders with a his­to­ry of con­tro­ver­sial state­ments about Israel, appeared on the livestream for the DNC’s Mus­lims and Allies Assem­bly. Her appear­ance was imme­di­ate­ly seized upon by Repub­li­cans and the Trump cam­paign, which cir­cu­lat­ed a clip where she said the Demo­c­ra­t­ic Par­ty “is absolute­ly our par­ty.” Both women, along with a third leader, Bob Bland, stepped down from the Women’s March last Sep­tem­ber as the group tried to move past the con­tro­ver­sy. “The cau­cus and coun­cil chairs come up with their own pro­gram­ming and select their own  speak­ers,” a Demo­c­ra­t­ic offi­cial said.
