American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten was slapped with an X community note after asking where the “women” were during an all-male Jewish prayer service.
Weingarten, who said in 2010 she considers herself to be a “deeply religious” Jew, quoted Jewish conservative commentator Mark Levin’s video footage of the minyan — a quorum of Jewish adults, traditionally male, required for certain religious observances — outside the White House.
“Where are the women?” Weingarten asked in the post, which has its comments section limited to Weingarten’s followers.
The post garnered a response from Levin as well as a community note from X.
“Orthodox Jews have gender separated prayers for thousands of years,” the note reads, citing the Jewish advocacy group Chabad.
“The women were on the other side praying and would not be visible from someone recording in the ‘men’s section,’” it adds.
“You’re such a contemptible moron,” Levin responded.
“Get off my timeline you idiot.”
Weingarten’s Tuesday post was lit up by other social media users.
