Women’s March Apologizes for an Email Sharing News About Average Donation of $14.92

The Women's March on Tuesday issued a rather bizarre apology for "an oversight" on Twitter, leaving some to point out it had the makings of a Babylon Bee article.

We apologize deeply for the email that was sent today. $14.92 was our average donation amount this week. It was an oversight on our part to not make the connection to a year of colonization, conquest, and genocide for Indigenous people, especially before Thanksgiving.

The tweet read that the organization "apologize[d] deeply," as $14.92 was not just their "average donation amount this week," but "a year of colonization, conquest, and genocide for Indigenous people."

Better to lie about or not disclose the average donation amount this week than inadvertently trigger folx by mentioning an offensive number!

Even @TheBabylonBee couldn’t have done this any better

This is the challenge for The Babylon Bee with all the woke stuff; it's like trying to satirize a comedy. https://t.co/EgzsZLyxIJ

The mockery continued throughout the day, especially when the tweet reached 1,492 interactions.

2:33 PM is 14:33 in military time. 1433 was the year that Sigismund of Bohemia was crowned Holy Roman Emperor. Sigismund was a supporter of the Crusades, having himself led the Crusade of Nicopolis and later establishing the Order of the Dragon to "fight enemies of Christianity."

Best parody tweet of 2021

By the next day, the tweet had been massively ratioed.

Our friends at Twitchy likewise had some fun compiling some other great reactions.

Women’s March’s profound apology for accepting this offensive and hurtful average donation amount so close to Thanksgiving belongs ‘in the Louvre’ https://t.co/8tq8A13F4w

As I previously covered, the Women's March also got mocked in October for telling people not to bring certain items to their pro-abortion marches across the country to protest the Texas abortion law which recently went into effect. Those items included coat-hanger imagery and outfits from "The Handmaid's Tale."

If you're joining us at a #RallyForAbortionJustice, here's what you should & shouldn't bring:

?? Comfy shoes
?? Water & Snack
?? Portable Charger
?? Mask
?? Hand Sanitizer
?? Fanny Pack + ID
? Coat hanger imagery
? "Handmaid's Tale" outfits
? Weapons

Are you ready to rally?

Ridiculous wokeness is the least of the problems for the Women's March, though.

It took them two seconds to apologize for this, but like 4 years to maybe sort of admit that having antisemites run your organization isn't great. https://t.co/quR6HrWN0z

Original co-founders of the organization included vocal anti-Semites Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour. Their involvement caused division with local chapters, and Mallory and Sarsour ultimately left in 2019.
