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....

Good, become the party of Allah.

I wonder if the irony will be lost on the LBGTQ crowd?

Problem is our mediots have never said that reality. Some people believe that Jefferson was a closet Muslim, since he owned a koran.

Actually, it’s an excellent move by them. They just keep digging their hole deeper and deeper. It’s a beautiful thing to watch.

Surprised me, too. Schumer is reliably pro-Israel.

So Schumer’s backing an in-your-face-infidel Muslim like Ellison must be based solely upon ideology. Or as the saying goes,

“You can be liberal without being Jewish, but you can’t be Jewish without being liberal.”

Hmm...tell that to the majority of Orthodox Jews who voted for Trump.

I go with your theory, Popman, because none of the other rationales make any sense, imho.

You gotta’ figure there was a lot of quid grease paid to the Clinton Foundation and now there’s no Hillary to complete the pro quo.

...Time for the Mossad to review/reveal the Islamo fascist Ellison and why Schumer supports him...

No it isn't !!!

When your opponent is about to shoot himself, do not stop him. Do not even distract him.

A Jew supporting a Muslim to run one of the two major parties in the US?

Next you'll be trying to tell met that that the Democrats work hand-in-glove with Nazi collaborator George Soros.

Naaah, too far-fetched. Nobody would believe that one...!

Democrats worship death.

Hence the praise of partial birth abortion, the apparent Satanist/Pedophile ring, ...

Forget about his nation-of-Islam and CAIR roots. (He’s too liberal for NOI, now.) Forget about his trutherism, claiming 9-11 was an American Recishteig fire. Forget about his numerous campaign-finance violations.

Keith Ellison’s wife, Kim, revealed that she was suffering from multiple sclerosis during his 2006 campaign. He totally played it up for the pity-hero vote. As soon as his district was safe from redistricting, he ditched her. Nice guy.

He throws his support to a Muzzlime who is much more involved with representing Muzzlimes than American interests? Whoo! Throw him out (impossible in libtard NY).
