Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison is drawing criticism for calling attention to a book that critics say condones a left-leaning group using violence in clashes with white supremacists.
Ellison, the deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, posted a photo on Twitter Wednesday of himself posing with the book "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook." The book calls violence during counter-protests "a small though vital sliver of anti-fascist activity."
Ellison's post said the book should "strike fear into the heart" of President Donald Trump. The tweet, which drew more than 8,000 comments and more than 2,500 retweets, drew pushback from Republicans, who have criticized the movement's at-times violent disruptions of speaking engagements and white supremacist rallies.
Minnesota GOP Chairwoman Jennifer Carnahan said Ellison's post amounted to complicity in a movement "that continues to threaten the well-being of Republicans in Minnesota and around the country."

In my 59 years I have yet to see a white supremacist rally or event? I used to see Robert Byrd on CSPAN2?
Antifa has called President Bush a fascist (YEARS ago), the police fascists, and FReepers (by name) fascists.
They are a militant violent hate group. Ask them about Israel and watch the antisemitism fly. Ask them about Christians and watch the antitheism fly. Ask them about muslims and they will expound upon injustices, diversity, etc.
“left-leaning”. So they are moderate left?
WTF do Left Wing Extremists look like?
There is NO level of violence or totalitarian Communist government that the Left is willing to denounce. 100 million dead? But look at the cultural change!
“Ellison’s post said the book should “strike fear into the heart” of President Donald Trump. “
Well, that was the goal. However now that Trump froze funding for “activities” like this one and the last “big protest” disbanded because not enough people showed up, Ellison fails in his attempt to gin up fear.
Keith Ellison has always been pro-terrorist. His support for Antifa terrorists should not have surprised anyone.
Americans do not fear moslems ... and if moslems act out their religion ... Americans will answer with their religion ....

So people of all races that own a business and have their windows broke and store burnt are white supremacist? So people of all races driving down the street that are blocked and harassed are white supremacists? What utter nonsense.
Antifa=Communists
That is why the book is red......their own little red book.
This is the Obama arm of the DNC that denied Hillary the nomination in 2008 and embarked on neutering the US around the world. They want us subjugated to the UN and EU......the global socialists.
You’re surprised that a Mohammedan supports violence?
Did Tucker start something?
Truth and details don't really matter to people like Keith Ellison and most other democrats.
Their strategy is to create fear, jealousy and animosity and inculcate hate.
Their objective to keep people at each other's throats while they implement their own agendas.
"United we stand, divided we fall."
They want America to fall.
But, But, The ‘Blue Wave’ HAHA.
Ellison is a MUSLIM Nothing he says has any importance to me.
White Supremacist = Non-socialist
Why is this Ellison tweet not construed as a direct threat against the POTUS?
Ellison the Muzzlime is a traitor in our midst. If he is one with ANTIFA, he is likely guilty of sedition. Needs to be investigated.
