The allegations of abuse against Keith Ellison aren't going away
CNN ^ | 9/23/18 | Chris Cillizza

Posted on 09/23/2018 5:55:19 AM PDT by Libloather

She (Monahan) tweeted this: "Four people, including my supervisor at the time, stated that I came to them after and shared the exact story I shared publicly, I shared multiple text between me and Keith, where I discuss the abuse with him and much more. As I said before, I knew I wouldn't be believed."

And this: "I expected everything that has taken place, before I decided to break my silence. I even stated it in my original statement. I showed up for myself & that was a huge piece of my healing."

And, this: "My grand baby deserves a world where human dignity is not a political tool for your parties interest. #metoo"

I wonder how many Democratics believe her. Shouldn't they be asked?

There is infinitely more evidence against Ellison than there is against Kavanaugh.

They might not be going away but they aren’t doing anything either all the dems have to do is ignore and all the republicans have to is keep pulling out their backbones and hanging them in the cloakroom

Be interesting to see how this plays out. Seeing it is now on cnn, the low life dems could be sacrificing Ellison in a trade to take down Judge Kavanaugh.

This assumes they have something to remove!

Send him away to a 2 week resort full of sessions on healing from tendency to beat women...he will be all healed and good as new. The women then can be paid off by Soros.

Exactly. They could care less about the women, never have and never will.

Yeah, any positive number can be said to be infinitely greater than 0.

Yeah but it’s not on their front page nor their US politics front page which IS full of Kavanaugh.

I doubt it will be on CNN cable either.

Ellison is both a Muslim and a POC (person of color). Therefore, no Democrat (female or otherwise) is going to say anything bad about him in public

CNN??

Even though there's more than likely kicking and screaming involved, they probably have to, darn it. If they don't, well, that would be rather insensitive to the abused victim. Other 'news' organizations should follow. Can't wait for an update from Madcow.

During Bubba *Squirt - "White House pressure has network brass on pause," alleging that a "civil war" had broken out within NBC over whether to run the story, with Tom Brokaw allegedly threatening to quit if Myers' interview ran.

Same with Sherrod Brown of Ohio. They have the abuse reports, the restraining orders, and the fear that Sen Brown’s family expressed.

Now they say she happily supports him..

But why wouldn’t a terrified wife & family do that once their tormentor became a powerful US Senator.

Stockholm syndrome.

Ellison has two-fer protection; protective coloration and RAT party prominence. How DARE her!

The left will gladly sacrifice Ellison to destroy Kavanaugh. They are on the vector to do just that with tons of help from the GOP. Ellison still may be elected nevertheless because nobody seems to care about it.

I believe the MN poll said that only 5 percent of Democrats believe Ellison’s accuser.
