The Women’s March on Washington drew at least 500,000 people to the nation’s capital on Saturday (January 21) to rally in the aftermath of the inauguration. Now, one of the organizers is being attacked by conservative websites boasting headlines like “Organizer For DC Women’s March, Linda Sarsour Is Pro Sharia Law With Ties to Hamas,” “The Anti-Semite Who Organized the ‘Women’s March on Washington’” and “The Muslim Veil, Not Pink Pussy Cap Was The Real Symbol Behind Big Women’s March.”
