Anti-Semites Oppose Black Republican’s Bid for Kentucky Governor
Controversial Activists Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory Take on Daniel Cameron
After being ousted from the Women’s March for alleged anti-Semitism, Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory have set their sights on a new mission: stopping Republican Daniel Cameron from becoming Kentucky’s first black governor.
- They plan to open two offices in Kentucky to register new voters.
- Activists at the press conference referred to Cameron as “Judas” and “Uncle Daniel,” a reference to the racist “Uncle Tom” trope.
- It’s unclear if Sarsour and Mallory’s presence in the race will help or hurt Cameron.
Despite their controversial past, Sarsour and Mallory announced their campaign during a Monday press conference in Louisville. Their social justice organization, Until Freedom, aims to make a difference by registering new voters in Kentucky.
Who are Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory?
Both Sarsour and Mallory were ousted from the Women’s March for alleged anti-Semitism. They have ties to anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has denounced Jews as “termites” and praised Adolf Hitler as a “very great man.” Sarsour spoke at a 2015 event organized by Farrakhan, while Mallory called Farrakhan the “GOAT,” or “Greatest of All Time,” and has been pictured holding hands with the Nation of Islam leader.
Beyond Sarsour and Mallory, Until Freedom’s founding members include other far-left activists. One such member, Angelo Pinto, is a self-proclaimed prison abolitionist.
- Until Freedom was established in New York City in 2019.
- The group went on to host “Days of Rage” against “racist policing.”
- Sarsour, Mallory, and Pinto combined to earn $160,000 through the group in 2020, Until Freedom’s disclosures show.
During their Monday press conference, Until Freedom activists praised Kentucky Democratic governor Andy Beshear, saying that while he “isn’t perfect,” he “has shown us that he is ready to be our governor for four more years.”
What’s Next for Daniel Cameron?
Cameron became the first black man independently elected statewide in Kentucky in 2019. He is now running to unseat Beshear and become Kentucky’s first black governor. Cameron cruised to the GOP gubernatorial nomination in May, carrying 47 percent of the vote in a crowded primary field that included 12 candidates. He will face off with Beshear at the polls in November.
Will Sarsour and Mallory’s campaign help or hurt Cameron’s chances? Only time will tell.
