Schumer throws his support behind Keith Ellison for DNC chairman
The Washington Post's Post Politics ^ | November 11, 2016 | John Wagner and Mike DeBonis

Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), who is expected to be the incoming Senate minority leader, has thrown his support behind Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) to be the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

The backing provides a major boost to the expected candidacy of Ellison, who has the support of several liberal lawmakers, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and an array of progressive advocacy groups.

Schumer spokesman Matt House said that Schumer and Ellison spoke Thursday and that Schumer has decided to support the Minnesota lawmaker, who co-chairs the Congressional Progressive Caucus....

LOL, they're going with the "not enough diversity" angle.

Dumb as rocks.

The Republicans need to give them some advice. Tell them they will never win another election again if they do this. Maybe they will actually go through with it, at least I hope so. It is a no win situation for them in the public relations sphere.

This kinda surprises me. Schumer is NOT a stupid man. Does he secretly want to destroy the Democratic party?

Exactly - they are taking the areas of their agenda that sank Hillary and making them their get-well clarion.

I’m in favor of them choosing that asshat as the leader of their party. After all, who am I to interfere with their ongoing political suicide.

I think it’s an inspired choice for the Demagogues!!

Ellison will be a continual reminder that that the anti-American Democraps cannot be entrusted with our national security!!

He will continue to pull the party toward the “progressive” left and help to ensure they are out of power for a generation.... go ahead Democraps, choose Ellison, please!!

Schumer is now top dog on Capitol Hill....and Keith may happen but doesn't mean it can't be changed....one of those easy come, easy go. On the other hand, he is very controllable.

IMHO, Schumer's just ki** a**ing Obama until Obama is out on the curb.

Don't kid yourself, Obama AND Hillary lost big time in this election.

That’s exactly what the RATS need. An affirmative-action, anti-American, anti-Christian, pro racist, pro-terrorist, arrogant, ignorant, Muslim for Chairman. He’s the perfect fit for the anti-American RAT party, and I applaud their choice to go public with their anti-American agenda.

OK, let’s get this straight.

A far left liberal New York Jew is supporting a Jesuit-trained former-Catholic mudslime convert to lead the dhimmiecrat party.

Makes sense to me.

Having the DNC run by a black Muslim will REALLY help the Dems win back White working-class Americans.

Well, the Saudis have paid a lot of money to turn America Muslim and all they have to show for it now is their “I’m With Her” t-shirt. Now that Trump will be standing up for American values and Obama is on the way out, the Dems have to put other Muslims into positions of power.

Nope they will go further to the left into obscurity.

Doug Shoen was talking about this on WSJ Review.
