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”
Not to mention that if there is an uprising due insurrection, then I, as a member of the militia, am entitled to fire upon the insurrectees as enemies of the State.
“””””””incidentally, what the H’s wrong with Minnesota to send an obvious enemy agent to the USA congress???”””””””””””
He is not from Minnesota, he is from Minneapolis. Two different worlds.
In Minnesota we are all pulling for him to lead the democrat party..
I doubt we’d be able to flip his seat, but, I think he’d do wonders for the democrat party as the head of it.
(remember, I am endorsing him as a member of the VRC, I think he would be a disaster as the head of the party and that would be a GOOD thing :) )
I see no problem with him being the DNC Chair, I think their party needs someone like him as the head.
(it’s great for the other party right?)
Minnesota is a lot like Sweden. Soon there will be no go zones in Minneapolis.
So the America-hating muzzie lover opens his mouth. I can hardly wait as he becomes the next “civil rights” leader for muzzies.
“Senator” Al Franken
“Congressman” Keith Ellison
