Alyssa Milano, Group’s Co-Founder Denounce Women’s March Leaders; They Issue Loaded Response

The leadership of the Women’s March has come under fire from some of the group’s once most vocal supporters, including the woman who founded the group and actresses Alyssa Milano and Debra Messing. The embattled leaders have since responded to criticism with an “intersectionally” loaded statement blasting its critics.

Earlier this year, feminist Tali Goldsheft launched a Change.org petition calling on the leadership of the Women’s March ― Bob Bland, Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour and Carmen Perez ― to resign, citing their affiliation with and refusal to condemn notorious racist, bigot, and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan.
