Muslim rep. decries Trump’s ‘villainous rampage against other Americans’
The Hill ^ | June 13, 2016 | Lisa Hagen

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) on Monday night called Donald Trump “a narcissistic fascist” for shifting the focus to himself in the wake of the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.

Ellison, the first Muslim member of Congress, decried the presumptive GOP presidential nominee for turning attention away from the 49 people killed and 53 injured at a gay nightclub in Orlando on Sunday.

Trump has come under fire for a self-congratulatory tweet he sent out after the terrorist attack, in which he said he “appreciate[s] the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism.”

“It is clear that we have a narcissistic, facist who has claimed the Republican nomination. That’s a fact. The question is what are we going to do about it as a nation,” Ellison told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Monday night.

“Why, oh, why can’t his sympathies run to them for just a moment?” Ellison asked, referring to the LGBT and Latino communities. “The whole nation should be grieving with them.”

“The fact his mind is not concerned itself with what they need, comforting them, is deep and disturbing,” Ellison said. “And then turn it into a villainous rampage against other Americans who have absolutely nothing to do with this -- and I mean Muslims now -- it’s just outrageous.”

Ellison noted that the country should focus on limiting the availability of guns and increasing access and resources for mental health treatment. He said Washington lawmakers need more than a moment of silence for the shooting victims, and need to translate that into real change and unity.

“We need to make those investments. This is why people on the House floor today were saying, ‘Where’s the bill?,’” Ellison said.

House Democrats staged protests Monday evening in response to a moment of silence on the floor to remember the victims of the attack. The chamber erupted into shouting after the silence as Democrats expressed frustration over the lack of votes to restrict guns after repeated mass shootings.

“Republicans wanted a moment of silence for the victims. I respect that, but we can’t continue that moment of silence when we should be legislating,” Ellison said. “We need action. We need to turn to each other not on each other as our narcissist candidate suggests.”

One day after the shooting, both Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clintondelivered dueling speeches that addressed the carnage in Orlando and drew contrasts between their national security approaches.

Trump’s speech was fueled with attacks on both Clinton and President Obama, saying the two were putting “political correctness” above national security in making their push.

Trump also blamed current U.S. immigration policies for allowing the gunman’s parents to enter the country from Afghanistan and called for a temporary ban on immigration from areas with “a proven history of terrorism.”

Clinton’s speech that took thinly veiled shots at Trump’s “inflammatory, anti-Muslim rhetoric.” She condemned his proposed ban of Muslims entering the country.

She also pledged to go after “lone wolves,” people who become radicalized on their own, and called for stricter gun control measures on assault weapons.

Perhaps Ellison, the first Muslim in Congress should be more concerned about stopping Radical Muslims from killing Americans than disarming those Americans.

Why? Because he’s not an effeminate metrosexual pussy who cries like a little girl, like Keith apparently does.

When a transplanted Muzzy kills one or two, it doesn’t pass a murmur from the Muz “community.”

Guess 50 dead is enough to get their attention.

Women like Keith can sit around with their kerchiefs and cry. Men go out and take care of what needs to be done.

I suspect that Keith Ellison sympathizes with Radical Islamic Terrorists.

Keith, who met in a highly private venue with “The Flyin’ Imams” before they boarded a plane in MSP and got tossed for highly suspicious behavior.

That Keith?

There were 50 people killed that day. Ellison grieves for the 50th, not the 49.

Keith Ellison, since he IS a Muslim, wants to kill gays.

He's lying about it because he IS a Muslim.

Rep. Keith Ellison,

You don’t fool anyone.

- It was a muslim that killed those 50 in Orlando.

- It was muslims that killed those in San Bernardino.

- It was muslims that killed those in Paris.

- It was muslims that killed those in Belgium.

- It was muslims that killed those in Boston.

- It was muslims that killed those at Fort Hood.

- It was muslims that killed three thousand Americans on 9-11-2001.

Around the world, muslims are the biggest problem facing mankind. They’re followers of an evil twisted cult.

What kind of gutter religion follows a murdering child molester? The man was a thief. He was a violent thug.

Spare me, Keith.

Yo Rep Ellison, do you read and subscribe to the teachings in the Koran? If so, you are anti-gay and anti-American.

This should be worth about three points for Trump.

With Muslim perpetrators its always about them and their fake apologies.

No one remembers the victims.

We truly do live in an upside down world.

Blah, blah, blah. Disingenuous. How about using the full quote ? How about allowing investigations into mosque membership so we can find these crazies before they kill again ? Not gonna do it are you ?

Day by day the true face of Islam is revealed. Day by day the hysteria of their fellow travelers in the Democrat Party rises. Day by day, the scales fall from the eyes of the American Public - but they need help!

If you are not speaking out now, you must! If you are speaking out now, you must redouble your efforts! Our lives and Freedom are in peril from this ancient enemy.

I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

Ellison is a black convert to Islam and a Marxist to boot. He could care less about “stopping Radical Muslims from killing Americans”.

He IS the enemy within, and a Democrat for cover.
