After Donald Trump was elected President, thousands of feminists descended on Washington to voice their displeasure. Linda Sarsour was their ringleader.
Now, Sarsour is being implicated in a sexual misconduct scandal worse than anything Trump has been found responsible for.
A female Muslim teacher and surrogate of Sarsour has said that the “women’s rights” leader allowed her to be sexually assaulted and harassed, then dismissed her with body-shaming remarks and threats when she tried to speak out.
More from Fox News:
Linda Sarsour, the Pro-Palestinian activist who helped spearhead the Women’s March in Washington earlier this year, allegedly enabled the sexual assault and harassment of a woman who worked for her, according to a report Sunday night.
Allegations of groping and unwanted touching were brought to the attention of Sarsour during her time as executive director of the Arab American Association, The Daily Caller reported.
Asmi Fathelbab told the website Sarsour attacked her for bringing the allegations, often threatening and body-shaming her, because the accused was a “good Muslim” who was “always at the mosque,” The Daily Caller reported.
Fathelbab told The Daily Caller that Sarsour threatened legal and professional damage if she went public with the sexual assault claims.
Fathelbab claimed her attacker would sneak up behind her during work and rub his crotch on her.
“It was disgusting,” Fathelbab told The Daily Caller. “I ran the youth program in the building and with that comes bending down and talking to small children. You have no idea what it was like to stand up and feel that behind you. I couldn’t scream because I didn’t want to scare the child in front of me. It left me shaking.”
Fathelbab said her allegations would result in her get written up for disciplinary action. She told The Daily Caller she was once forced to talk to a detective from the community liaison division about the consequences of making false claims to the authorities.
After her contract was finished at the Arab American Association, Fathelbab said she had trouble getting new jobs.
“She told me I’d never work in NYC ever again for as long as she lived,” Fathelbab said. “She’s kept her word. She had me fired from other jobs when she found out where I worked. She has kept me from obtaining any sort of steady employment for almost a decade.”
Is anyone surprised that Sarsour’s real agenda does not include protecting women at all?
