HOUSTON — Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), who in 2007 became the first Muslim member of Congress, said in an interview Saturday that opponents of President Trump’s executive orders on immigration and refugees should oppose them in the streets.
“It’s time for people to get active, to get involved, to vote and to organize,” said Ellison, who was in Houston to campaign for chairman of the Democratic National Committee. “Trump must be stopped, and people power is what we have at our disposal to make him stop. We need mass rallies. We need them all over the country. We need them in Texas. We need them in D.C. We need them in Minnesota.”
Ellison, one of the first candidates to enter the DNC race, is also the most politically prominent member of a faith singled out in Trump’s executive orders temporarily halting the visa interview process from seven nations and the refugee flow from Syria. On Friday, before heading to Houston, he joined a rally in Miami-Dade County against plans for it to cooperate in Trump’s crackdown on sanctuary cities; former labor secretary Tom Perez, seen as the other front-runner in the DNC race, responded to Trump’s plan to investigate “voter fraud” with an op-ed about Texas’s experience chasing after phantom fraud cases.

Incitement to insurrection. The House can expel this fool.
Keeping the Dems protesting and not voting like in the last election.
The left reels from one mob scene to another.
He wants to be DNC Chair badly.
He took his swearing in on a koran,..............so........
The ragheads like Ellison and the “ACLU” are all over President Trump. Must have something to do with their invasion of America.
Translation:
mass rallies = mob rule
They’re trying to force a color revolution, just like in the Ukraine and a dozen other nations.
the House should expel this anti-American rabble-rouser and insurrectionist
then the Soros-Saudi Party (Democraps) will appoint him their leader
and Americans will vote Republican for the next 1,000 years
Unlike those situations, the supporters of the newly-elected president have millions of firearms and billions of rounds of ammunition. It doesn’t seem that the Left is thinking this through to its logical conclusion.
We must unweave moslems from the fabric of our heritage.
This guy is a radical and needs to be attacked for his anti-Semitism and associations. Much more reap and relevant than anything against Bannon.
We’ve been having mass tantrums seemingly every day since the election.
Frankly it’s starting to sound like you’re calling for some sort of violent overthrow and anarchy.
We definitely need to keep an eye on him. He is very VERY dangerous.
incidentally, what the H’s wrong with Minnesota to send an obvious enemy agent to the USA congress?
Mass rallies? Whatta bout Minn rallies to get rid of this leftwing, extrem7st wacko bird?
With Paul Ryan as Speaker and a Muslim sympathizer, that ain’t gonna happen.
