The former girlfriend of Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison sat down with CBS News on Thursday to talk about the abuse she says she endured during their relationship. Just days before the primary, Karen Monahan’s son posted on Facebook that he had seen a video of Ellison dragging his mother off a bed by her feet in Ellison’s home. Monahan spoke with CBS’s Jericka Duncan about why she decided to share her story.
“At this point in time, I’m grounded and I know who I am. I have healed for a year and a half. I looked straight at him and said I never ruined your career, I didn’t choose to do the things that you did, I didn’t choose for you to drag me off the bed,” said Monahan. When Monahan was asked why she chose to share her story now she replied, “I followed my gut that I’ve been trying to push down for a year and a half.”
Monahan previously told reporters she can’t release a video of the incident because she lost it in a storage locker. Ellison, who just won the Democratic primary for Attorney General, adamantly denied any abuse in an interview with WCCO yesterday.

The plot sickens...

Maybe Ellison should be put in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day until he proves that this stuff never happened.
That’s what they did to Manafort.

He’ll be forced to resign or the democrats will never live this down. Two women so far have said he physically abused them, no doubt more to come.

According to another article she doesn't want to give up the tape. I can't stand Ellison but I'm not buying her story until the tape is released.
Monahan said she should not have to release the video of the incident in order to be believed. She believes her words should be enough.

Add Ellison to the list. Spitzer, Schneiderman, Bill Lockyer (CA), etc...What’s up with all these weird Democrat AGs?

Never happen. The “media” are doing their utmost to cover this up. It’ll be long forgotten by November.
