MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — DFL leaders called a press conference Thursday to show harmony after a bruising primary election.

But if this is Democratic unity, one wonders what DFL dissension looks like.

At the news conference, DFL Party Chair Ken Martin was peppered with questions about embattled Attorney General candidate Keith Ellison.

“What I would say is that our party takes any allegation of domestic abuse seriously,” he said. “It’s a fluid situation. It’s still developing.”

Ellison won the primary, but he must still seek the endorsement of the DFL central committee this weekend. And it’s not a done deal.

The new fist of the DNC.

What about the black nationalist’s support for antisemite hatemonger Louis Farrakhan?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Libloather. The attention this is drawing is encouraging. I expected this to fall under "reparations" within hours or days.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Isn’t he allowed to do this under Sharia Law? So what’s all the squawking about?

[Joe Miner]

The Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) is a center-left political party in the U.S. state of Minnesota. It is affiliated with the U.S. Democratic Party. Formed by a merger of the Minnesota Democratic Party and the left-wing Minnesota Farmer–Labor Party in 1944, the DFL is one of only two state Democratic party affiliates of a different name (the other being the North Dakota Democratic-Nonpartisan League Party).

Thanks for explaining, we don’t get out much unless it is hunting or fishing ;)

Democrats have always shown unity when one of their predators is caught. They did it with (alleged) serial rapist Bill Clinton. Why not do it with violent Keith Ellison?

“It’s a fluid situation. It’s still developing.”

Translation: Keith Ellison's career in politics is over.

True. Wikipeida’s not exactly an unbiased arbiter.

One other thing. Farmers are often the most virulent socialists around, even as they wrap themselves in the flag.

Unfortunately you are right on. Many of my relatives are farmers. Great conservative people....until you get between them and their mailbox. They have been led to believe they can not survive without their subsidy checks. They would vote for Satan himself if he promised the big subsidies.

“The Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) is a center-left political party in the U.S. state of Minnesota.”

From what I’ve seen, the DFL is a left-far left political party.

[Beagle8U]

Will the ‘Dumb fing-Liberal’ party endorse a racist wifebeater with no law license for MN AG?

[Democrats hate too much]

The Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party needs to STOP its hatred toward all women.

[minnesota_bound]

The democrat party supports those that beat up and rape women and children and or kill them. See Clinton and Kennedy and Ellison etc.
