DNC Chair Race: Progressives’ Aggressive Tactics to Elect Keith Ellison Backfire

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democratic party leaders are reportedly concerned with the extreme and aggressive approach radical progressives have exhibited in lobbying for hard left Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) in his race to become the Democratic National Committee’s next chairman.

“I am not interested in anarchy,” Marcel L. Groen, chairman of the Pennsylvania Democrats, told the Washington Times. “It was over the top and I contacted Keith, and Keith tried to stop it, to his credit. I want their enthusiasm and energy, but I do want it harnessed,”he said, adding, “Let’s say you were completely uncommitted. You don’t want 300 people calling you and telling you what to do.”

Groen said the extreme pro-Ellison effort pushed his support in the direction of Tom Perez, a former labor secretary who served under Barack Obama and is seen as the Democratic Party’s establishment choice to head the DNC.

So just how is Perez any different than Ellison? One is an illegal Mexican, the other is a Mooslim. They both are Commies and they both hate this country. So as I see it, either one of them is fine to run the DNC.

Marcel decided to go with the Stalinist instead of the Trotskyite.

With the Democrats the degree of radicalism is nuanced.

I’m a Ellison Minnesotstan el fan. It think he’ll do much more damage to the donkeys than an illegal alien.

Looks like Jemu Green doesn’t have a chance of winning as leader of the DNC. She’ll be back on Fox calling Tucker Carlson ‘one of those bow tie wearing White Boys’.

Someone once said, “Only a sophisticated anarchist knows the difference between Kropotkin and Bakunin.”

To the rest of us, who are not sophisticated Democrats, there is no difference between Ellison and Perez.

I would be shocked if Ellison does not win at this point. But the battle has been so divisive, it may cause somewhat of a split in the Dems. We’ll see.

Keith is connected to the Muslim Brotherhood.....Ellison IS NOT ABLE TO ASSIMILATE AS AN AMERICAN....HIS "RELIGION" PREVENTS IT.

How this man was ever elected by seemingly thinking Americans is beyond me.

Study the Koran....learn its rules....every time CAIR steps up to defend some Muslim, members of the Brotherhood, is a slap in the face of Freedom.

(Anila Ali) a Muslim activist who of course lies to you about Trump and America. She is dangerous and should be shunned by all Christians and those who believe in the sanctity of life, the dignity of women and Freedom....Anila does not!

Tom Perez, a former labor secretary who served under Barack Obama and is seen as the Democratic Party’s establishment choice to head the DNC.

That's the great thing about the freedom-loving, anti-establishment Democrat party: you get to scream your head off for Bernie and swallow the establishment candidate like a spoonful of castor oil anyway. A kook or a suit, that's your choice. Or, one supposes, you could vote...Trump.

PRAY that they devolve further into the lar left, completely open borders, riot crazed, government pay for everything cesspool. They’re guaranteeing GOP control for another two decades.

Perez is much smarter than Ellison.
Personally I want them to name Ellison so that it is clear to everyone that they are the party of Allah (Satan)

Full compliance with Sharia law will be part of the Democrat Prezidential strategy in 2020.

The Muzzie better win or I’m gonna be pissed. The “democrats” need to “check” their racist and bigoted privilege and vote for the Muzzie.
