Keith Ellison eyes Minnesota AG seat to lead battle against Trump policies
The Washington Times ^ | July 29, 2018 | Kyle Potter - AP

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Rep. Keith Ellison asked himself the question that lingers over his political career before any of the 1,000-plus supporters at his recent rally could: Why was he leaving the safe congressional district he’s represented for more than a decade to run for state attorney general?

“Attorneys general all over this country led the fight against this Muslim ban,” he said to raucous applause. “It is attorneys general that are fighting and suing to protect an open internet.”

A year after falling short in his bid to chair the Democratic National Committee and with his party stuck in the minority, Ellison is angling for a change.

Democrats nationwide have increasingly looked to attorneys general in their states as a counter to President Donald Trump’s administration and its policies. State attorneys general pushed back against the administration’s ban on travel from several mostly Muslim countries, winning early court battles before a more limited version was upheld by the Supreme Court. More recently, they sued the Trump administration to stop the separation of children and parents who were in the country without permission.

Ellison, who, in 2006, became the first Muslim elected to Congress, said his quest isn’t personal. He has a lengthy priority list, including protecting President Barack Obama’s health care law and restoring so-called “net neutrality” provisions scrapped by the Federal Communications Commission under Trump.

Ellison, who, in 2006, became the first Muslim elected to Congress, said his quest isn’t personal.

Ellison is lying through his teeth, it is personal and for all the reasons he gives.

““It is attorneys general that are fighting and suing to protect an open internet.”

But not “net neutrality” or whatever liberal pig lipstick you leftards come up with. What he’s saying he wanted the web to be monitored 247 just like the root cause of leftardism; control.

If he wins it should be fun watching him declare “sharia law” in the Gopher State.

This is why he decided to run for AG. He wants to stop the investigations into his fellow POS muslims.

He somehow has to sell himself outside of the metro district he is from. Good luck with that...

He doesn’t have a license to practice law is what I’ve seen.

He is popular in his district which is fully engulfed with Somalians. Outside of that he is a nobody.

Oddly enough, Keith Ellison does not even have an active law license in Minnesota.

I recall reading something here a couple of years ago about how one of soros’ plans was to take as many state AG posts as he could get just to cause the type of trouble we have been seeing lately. Not that ellison would ever take any direction from soros or anything... If any of the non-urban Minnesotans would vote for this Jesuit-educated, former Catholic, converted mudslime loser for their AG then that state is a lot further gone than I am afraid it is.

I believe that in that picture Warren is saying to Ellison: “Please don’t make me wear a burka when you Muslims take over.”

He has a JD from U Minnesota. Worked as a litigator for three years....that says he passed the bar

I don’t know about Minnesota but in many states you don’t need to be a lawyer to be AG
