Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) rushed to the defense of a woman voted on to and then promptly voted off of the Women’s March board this week, calling the campaign to fire Zahra Billoo, who is accused of making anti-Semitic and anti-Israel statements, a product of “Islamophobia.”
Last week, the Women’s March made headlines for cutting ties with three embattled founding members of its board — Linda Sarsour, Tamika Mallory, and Bob Bland — all of whom were accused of making anti-Semitic remarks or supporting anti-Semitic statements within the March’s leadership, forging and maintaining ties between the Women’s March and the anti-Semitic Nation of Islam, and, as was revealed in a New York Times expose last year, making life uncomfortable for Jewish women in the March’s upper eschelons.
