Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison scored a victory Tuesday night in the Minnesota primary race for the state's attorney general days after domestic abuse accusations against him surfaced.
Ellison, who serves as the deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee and is the first Muslim elected to Congress, was accused over the weekend of emotional and physical abuse by an ex-girlfriend.
Addressing the abuse allegations in his victory speech, Ellison said: “We had a very unexpected event at the end of this campaign that happened. I want to assure you that it is not true.”
Ellison ran for the position against state Rep. Debra Hilstrom, former Department of Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman, former Ramsey County Attorney Tom Foley and attorney Matt Pelikan.
The abuse allegations against the congressman first emerged on Saturday when the son of Ellison’s ex-girlfriend, Karen Monahan, alleged on Facebook that he’d read threatening text messages from the lawmaker. He also claimed to have watched a video in which Ellison dragged Monahan off a bed by her feet.
Monahan posted on Twitter a day later that the allegations were “true.”
“Every statement he made was true. @keithellison, you know you did that to me,” she tweeted.
Ellison responded to the allegations, insisting that the video is non-existent and he “never behaved in this way.”
Ellison has long been a leader in the Democratic Party.
The divorced 54-year-old is a six-term congressman who became deputy chairman of the DNC last year after falling just short of the top job. He was among candidates rushing to file for Minnesota's attorney general office after incumbent Lori Swanson made a late decision to run for governor

Many people voted absentee long before these allegations came out.
“He wants to be the Attorney General and does not have a law license.”
Why did he lose his law license?
Roy Moore, but ‘black’ and Muslim...
The media loves him!
I don’t think it was lifted from him, I think he let it lapse.
An Attorney General as the head of the state legal team should have a current license.
LOL the Dems are nothing if not hypocrites
“An Attorney General as the head of the state legal team should have a current license.”
I don’t think it would would be all that difficult for him t get his bar card.
Treasonous, anti-American, anti- Christian, anti- Semite communistic Moslem wanted for public office. Screw us any way you like. Call Minnesota voters for societal and national Suicide on 800/555-69**
But he beats women? <<<
Yes..but only as demanded by his “religious beliefs”.../s
Jeez, those crazy northerners sure vote for the most idiotic candidates.
One would think he already would have in preparation to run for Attorney General.
The fact that he hasn’t is disqualifying in my view.
And who are your Senators?
#5. Soros also wants state “Secretaries of State”. He’s got one in Minnesota, Mark Ritchie. see www.keywiki.org for details on Ritchie’s past.
The Democrats/Marxists wisely switched tactics from solely focusing on Congressional and state level legislative seats to adding both the state Attorney Generals and Secretary of State positions to their campaign/funding program.
So even if the governor is a Republican, the State AG and Secy of State (who controls vote counting), can neutralize them for the most post.
A very invidious but well thought out, organized and funded campaign tactic, not just for Democrats but the new Marxist movement (DSA, Working Families Party, the old ACORN reformed, and the Steve Phillips state organizations - go to
“TrevorLoudon.com”, Trevor Loudon BLOG site for the major series of exposes of Phillips, state by state.
A lot of supposedly “local” progressive organizations will have his fingerprints all over them, and they are “red”.
Plus he’s a serial woman beater. But democrats have never cared about the character of their candidates. Both of the women he beat were white women. A black woman would have never up up with his BS.
Soros
Well that’s a start, administratively. But apparently not to the muzzie loving leftist demonrats. An effective targeted campaign should make all Minnesotans take notice and drive this a-hole out.
But, then again, didn’t they vote in monkey boy Franken, and that joke of a governor with brain damage, Jesse Ventura.
Dhimmicraps don’t care about women.
Oh, it’s only white women he beat? So that’s not half bad.
Why don't you make yourself useful and trail Keith Ellison around his campaign stops, dressed as Groucho Marx?
Sounds like Rush Limbaugh's old parody ad for Denny's -- Reginald Denny's...the omelet where they remove the yolks and only beat the whites...
