The Democrats sacrificed Al Franken in order to shore up their effort to win a Senate seat in Alabama. They knew that Minnesota’s governor would appoint another Democrat to replace Franken, so they could net a Senate seat with an upset pickup in Alabama, which is exactly what happened. Many Minnesota Democrats are still unhappy that Franken was forced out of the Senate, not by Republicans but by his own Democratic colleagues.
Now it is starting to look as though the Democrats may be throwing Deputy DNC Chairman Keith Ellison overboard in a similar manner. We noted last week that a small Minnesota news outlet, Alpha News, had gone to court in an effort to unseal Ellison’s divorce records, which might shed light on the multiple documented claims of domestic abuse against him. Today the Star Tribune, the state’s dominant newspaper, joined Alpha’s effort:
Meanwhile, the appalling Senator Mazie Hirono, the Democrats’ chief hatchet woman on the Judiciary Committee, called on Sunday for an investigation of the claims against Ellison.
It isn’t hard to see what could be going on here. The Democrats care much more about Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court than they do about who is Attorney General of Minnesota. If Ellison has become an embarrassment to their smear campaign against Kavanaugh, they will be perfectly willing to throw him under the bus, just as they sacrificed Franken to enhance their chances of defeating Roy Moore in Alabama. The signs are not yet definite, but it looks to me as though, when it comes to Keith Ellison, Democrats may be edging toward the exits.

I wish they’d throw Keith under the bus. Literally, UNDER THE BUS.
He should hope for justice in this life.
There is a PICTURE of Franken with his hands on a sleeping lady! There are pictures of Ellison’s girlfriend with facial injuries consistent with being punched. YET KAVANAUGH IS GUILTY OF ANYTHING?? (Better stop now before my BP spikes)
Considering their attitude about virtually non-existent allegations against Kavanaugh, they really have no choice. Otherwise you could cut the hypocrisy with a knife.
If the Dems do throw Ellison under the bus it will only be because they have to in order to dodge the hypocrite charge.
Right now I am sitting right across the river from his district, Little Mogadishu. I can’t stand him or the thousands of foreigners he represents who are only here to steal us blind. It would be a great day if he disappeared from the scene.
Unsealing opponents’ divorce records was 0bambi’s specialty.
Ellison is probably under the bus having rough sex.
Franken stole that election fair and square...
I heard that the photo that was circulated wasn't her. (There are still police reports and a 911 call, and there might be another photo that is her, I guess.)
Are they drawing straws on who gets to drive? I’m in!!
The Democrats threw any chance that the four red-state Democrats have of defending their seats, so there’s 4 more senate seats the GOP is picking up. And if Flake goes south on his pick, the AZ GOP replacement will be an easy winner.

He deserves to be thrown into a wood chipper!
So, fake news? But you’re right, it only shows the right side of her face and not her eyes, so you cannot be certain it is her.
No, they’re just gonna make him ride in the back of it for a while.................
AND bruises to her wrists.......................
No. He’s black and a Muslim, so that would be racist and Islamophobic.
