Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) said that “the greater majority of domestic terrorist attacks are not by Muslims at all; they’re by people like Timothy McVeigh.”
Ellison made the comment during an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes a day after the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed responsibility for bombing a Belgian airport and subway train. […]
“And so, you know, we got to understand terrorism as a generalized threat, various ideologies that drive it. But, no, I think we can get through this, but people like [Donald] Trump and [Ted] Cruz are not helping.”
According to an analysis by CNN, there were five ISIS-inspired attacks in the U.S. over the past year and a half, including the Dec. 2, 2015 mass shooting of 14 people in San Bernardino, California by a couple that had pledged allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. …

Only Minnesota would put a idiot like that in office
The fact that he has to go back more than 20 years for said example shows just how breathtakingly stupid Rep. Ellison is.
As I recall, McVeigh even had help in that attack from some unidentified Muslims which were quickly swept under the rug.
Thanks for reminding us all of an inconvenient truth.
And that's the NICEST thing one could say about this subhuman vermin of divided loyalties. What the heck is wrong with the idiots who voted this garbage in?
Left-wing extremists?
I often wonder if this was not the reason he was executed so soon after his crime. There were a lot of questions he should have been asked. However, I am sure Nichols could provide insight.
“...people like Timothy McVeigh...”
But nobody can ever come up with a name other than Timothy McVeigh. I.e., from 21 years ago.
In logic, it’s known as “clutching at straws.”
“According to that liberal intellectual, Whoopi Goldberg, Timothy McVeigh was a Christian terrorist.
This has become accepted as part of liberal theology, that McVeigh was a Christian terrorist, even though he didn’t commit his act in the name of Christ. As I recall he was an atheist, but facts such as these don’t matter to liberals. Making their half assed political statements is all that matters to them.”
Didn’t Terry Nichols have a Muslim wife that he met in the Philippines? Wasn’t he in the same area as Ramzi Yousef at the same time? I’ve always suspected that the OKC bombing had muslim connections. Naturally, the media wouldn’t touch that possibility.
I think Terry NIchols became a radicalized muslim convert because of his wife and that Timothy McVeigh was the useful idiot that helped them.
Just my personal opinion.
Horse. sh*t.
“Only Minnesota would put a idiot like that in office”
I don’t understand Minnesota’s fascination and admiration for islam. Muslims seem to be treated like royalty up there. Makes no sense at all.
Of course, this is the same state that elected Al Franken, Jesse Ventura and was the only state to never vote for Reagan.
Twenty years, two weeks, and about 330 days...
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me. ..................
The Irish did it.
well, there was that terrorist attack on those ranchers out in Oregon. Oh, that was the government.
An FBI report shows that only a small percentage of terrorist attacks carried out on U.S. soil between 1980 and 2005 were perpetrated by Muslims.
They just fudge edges and fail to elaborate that it's the Loony Left responsible for most domestic terrorism
Between 1970 and 2011, 28 percent of the acts of Domestic terrorism were motivated by single issues, such as animal rights or opposition to war, and seven percent were motivated by religious beliefs. In addition and 22 percent were categorized as extreme left-wing. This according to FBI statistics. Guess Facts hurt Liberal’s FEELINGS
Ellison is insinuating that when whitey shoots up a school it’s domestic terrorism.
But when trayvon shoots a dozen people at a backyard birthday party, it’s just “keepin’ it real”.
Any American Muslims like this hate are the REAL terrorists. I despise Muslim lying and slime being a part of our society.
Christians in Pakistan are telling you from the grave to STFU, Keith.
