Keith Ellison faces and navigates controversy, (beating up his girlfriend) again
Star Tribune ^ | 9/08/18 | JESSIE VAN BERKEL ,

Keith Ellison is well-versed in campaigning with political baggage.

The Minneapolis lawyer and politician climbed the Democratic political ranks, from the Minnesota Legislature to Congress and Democratic National Committee deputy chairman, while contending with controversies — from decades-old ties to the Nation of Islam to one-time public support for a federal fugitive. Now, as he mounts a bid for Minnesota attorney general, he is trying to move past an allegation of domestic abuse from a former girlfriend.

After a dip in public appearances, Ellison has resumed a busy campaign schedule. On Thursday, he held a St. Paul news conference to condemn legal efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, with several activists at his side. At a Labor Day picnic in Duluth, he vowed to stand up for unions. And in a State Fair visit he called for affordable student loans and medications.

Aren’t Muzzies expected to beat up women? They are property after all.

As you pointed out, Muslims try to hide behind this.

At least here on this forum we all agree that there is no excuse for violence against any woman.

This goes beyond any tolerance of culture or religious practice or political affiliation. No excuses.

Maybe she doesn’t know when to shut up and he’s just giving her an invaluable lesson?

><

There was a video of a Muslim Imam instructing Muslim males on the proper way to beat their wives. It’s probably been taken down by now.

Why don’t the Republicans hire a Groucho Marx lookalike comic to show up at all of Ellison’s campaign appearances?

How can these democrat idiots still support the train-wreck known as Obmacare? When you go over the numbers it all breaks down. It doesn’t work, in fact, it was designed to fail. Yet somehow they still make their voters think it’s a good thing.

Assholes like Ellison are evil but their voters are just ignorant, gullible and stupid.

He must be confused. He’s running for attorney general, not governor.

I remain amazed that maggots like Ellison can get elected in this once great country.

I wouldn’t even hire an a$$hole like Ellison to do my lawn work.

Taqiyya.

A central tenet of islam is to make the whole world islamic.

AFAIC, he should be Gitmo'ed.

I don’t think he will win.

I’m in Minnesota. The liberal hives will have to turn out in Mass numbers for him to over come greatest Minnesota.

Those of us in greatest Minnesota (outstate mn) want nothing to do with him.

Ellison navigates, i.e., gets away with, multiple instances of domestic abuse because his media pals are ignoring the story.
