Pressure on Keith Ellison to drop out of the race for Attorney General of Minnesota is growing. National and state party leaders are hedging their bets, mostly either refusing to comment or releasing anodyne statements. But the National Organization of Women has called on Ellison to step down. The best sign of mounting pressure is this:
CBS has the story on the most recent domestic abuse allegation against Ellison: Woman accusing Rep. Keith Ellison of abuse speaks out.
On Thursday, [Karen] Monahan, 44, spoke on camera for the first time about an incident she said happened nearly two years ago.
Monahan said she has video of what happened but that its too traumatic for her, so she has chosen not to share it with anyone.
I doubt that there is a video, but its possible.
Monahan said that in September of 2016, she and her then boyfriend, Ellison, got into a heated argument that scared her. She said it started when he came into a room where she was laying on a bed, listening to a podcast.
Laying on a bed? Its like fingernails on a blackboard, but irrelevant to the present point, except to note that reporters are increasingly illiterate.
He asked her to take out the trash and when he asked if she heard him, she shook her head.
He looked at me, goes Hey you f***ing hear me and then he looked at me, he goes Bitch, get the f*** out of my house, and he started to try to drag me off the bed, Monahan said. Thats when I put my camera on to video him.
That Ellison quote leads the Drudge Report tonight.

apparently his wife does not know what the Koran says about a wife being a slave to the husband.
I think it's more like Hell is thawing, and they want to be credible "playas" again.

I’m surprised Keith is having problems with these stories swirling around. I didn’t think the Dems cared anymore about civil and considerate behavior. I may have just enough time to buy some more popcorn and watch the dogs biting each other.
A racist wife-beater with no law license, running for AG of MN? That makes scents.
Nope. It’s because they think he might lose.
They don’t care about any of the rest of that stuff.
“I doubt that there is a video, but its possible.”

I don’t doubt it - her son brought it up first, saying he found it on her device/PC.

Yes, they are, as are most their readers. But that’s a little picky, Hinderaker.
White guilt will give him a pass.
He stays in.
Bill Clinton could get away with it because he was a white Democrat.
Black Democrats need not think they can get by.
I hope he stays in and wins. I’d much rather have him be AG in the State of MN than in the halls of Congress on a national level. Let MN deal with him and get him off the national stage.
Wasn’t he Roy Moore’s coach?
No more likely they have a woman in mind instead of the wife beater.
Ellison is safe in his own district because it is all somalians. Cedar/ Riverside...Little Mogadishu. I go through the area all the time. Like being in a foreign country.
But now he wants to run for statewide office for the simple reason of protecting the somalians who are running a thousand scams to steal hundreds of millions of dollars from taxpayer funded programs.
He doesn’t play well outside his district. Even if he wasn’t a woman beater, we deplorable uneducated white WalMart smelling Trump voters aren’t too keen on racist muslims.
Odd you bring that up. I was just thinking that all of the media, even some of the conservative media, is one giant echo chamber. They read each other’s stuff, and steal each other’s phrasing. I got SO sick of reading “Wait for it . . .” when that particular phrase was popular.
You are exactly right.
Maybe it’s just the same the phenom as when you buy a new car, suddenly you notice multiple examples of the same car all over.
Your observation about the media is correct, for sure.
