      Condemn Farrakhan? Sure, happy to. Farrakhan is a fucking asshole: he's an anti-Semitic, homophobic, misogynist,grifter who was almost certainly complicit in the murder of Malcolm X. Thankfully, he's also a figure with a small & dwindling following.

      Yeah, good thing none of his enthusiastic followers lead a movement in which hundreds of thousands of people have marched in the streets all across the country, appear with Congressional candidates, and even get ice cream flavors dedicated to them.

      You remind me of the people who wanted to discredit the entire anti-war movement in 2003 because ANSWER organized some big marches.

      I’m not discrediting those opposed to Trump’s policies. I’m discrediting Sarsour and Mallory who openly support, how can I accurately put it, “a fucking asshole; an anti-Semitic, homophobic, misogynist,grifter”.

      You’d think the Women’s March wouldn’t want leaders so closely associated with #BlackDavidDuke. It can’t be good for attracting mainstream support.

      And Farrakhan has no small overlap with the racism of ANSWER. Every one of their marches featured anti-Semitism. I was often on the streets counter-protesting it (not in favor of the Iraq war). Plenty more where this comes from.pic.twitter.com/LNsPXNtfJE

      How many members of the next Congress would meet with Farrakhan? More than would meet with David Duke.

      The President of the United States explicitly refused to disavow David Duke in 2016 in the run-up to the South Carolina primaries.

          And every bit of condemnation he received for that was entirely deserved. Extremists on both ends are happy to play footsie with anti-Semites. But as a Democrat, I have a responsibility to be more outspoken when it comes from my side.

          It seemed to me like he didn’t have a clue who David Duke was.

          Unlikely. He referred to Duke on previous occasions.

          Such as the minor detail that elected officials can be voted out of office, while activists have no such constraints? And of course you might recall that extremist activists can gain political power if they get enough free media--hmmmm, didn't that happen quite recently?

          I was asked if there was something comparable to Farrakhan meeting congressmen and I suppled an example. How is that whataboutism?
