Punk rock singer Courtney Love, the widow of Kurt Cobain, went after Leftist Muslim activist Linda Sarsour on Twitter Wednesday morning over Sarsour reportedly raising money off a nonexistent hate crime, writing, “You’re a vile disgrace to women and all mankind @lsarsour”.
Sarsour responded to Love and the two engaged in a vigorous back and forth with Love bluntly calling Sarsour an “anti-American fear mongering fraud” and of “inciting hatred towards Americans.”

Love also held her ground against defenders of Sarsour before Sarsour joined the discussion.

Sarsour and Love then engaged in a back and forth with Love calling Sarsour an “anti American fear mongering fraud” and Sarsour calling Love “anti-Muslim”
So Courtney posts a right wing article to make no point. https://t.co/upEwgLneX6

Police report doesn't deny that Rahma was brutally beaten as someone who intervened. Where are all witness accounts? Using couples story

Would you also support the Columbus OH Police Department who still hasn't fired an officer who kicked a handcuffed Black man on video?

There's two different women. Rahma came later to scene. No one knows exactly what happened. That's the police's job to find out.

Don't apologize for ur veiled anti-Muslim rhetoric. I will always fight for my country to be a better nation that respects all its citizens.

Reading is fundamental. We all said it was an "alleged hate crime" and we are STILL demanding a full investigation which still didn't happen

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. I will keep speaking truth to power. You aren't the only one who won't like it. https://t.co/TfryJ0c5UI
