Who is Keith Ellison? Left-wing congressman with past ties to Nation of Islam wants DNC job
Fox News ^

Posted on 11/14/2016 6:22:50 PM PST by ErikJohnsky

In an attempt to stave off a civil war in the ranks, Democratic leaders are scrambling to unite behind a candidate for the party's chairmanship – and have landed for now on a Louis Farrakhan-linked congressman who once called for Dick Cheney’s impeachment and compared George W. Bush to Hitler.

...

Yet it isn’t the only controversy for Ellison. In 2007, Ellison made a comparison between Bush and 9/11 to Hitler and the 1933 Reichstag fire.

"9/11 is the juggernaut in American history and it allows... it's almost like, you know, the Reichstag fire,” Ellison said, according to a Daily Telegraph report at the time. “After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put the leader of that country [Hitler] in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted."

If the Republicans had done this, the Democrats would be working 24-7 to implant the sentence Republicans are the Party of Sharia in the mind of every American.

Of course, we are too nice to do that. Wouldn't Be Prudent.

He’s a genius who thinks “Trump is the worst republican since Wallace.”

Lol, if this is the best they got, then the future looks very bright!

The guy Mike Pence tweeted a video about where he basically agrees that the Jews were behind 9-11...?

He’s toast.

The Nation of Islam is an anti-Semitic,anti-White organization which is truly frightening. They are a black equivalent of the KKK. This man should have no position of authority or respect anywhere.

Give it to him. This will show the country what the evil party really looks like. This guy has so much baggage, I’m surprised he can stand up.

Well, they did boo God at their 2012 convention, this way they could become the party of Allah (Satan).

NOI believes:

Yakub (sometimes spelled Yacub or Yaqub) is, according to the Nation of Islam (NOI), a black scientist who lived “6,600 years ago” and was responsible for creating the white race to be a “race of devils”. He is said to have done this through a form of selective breeding referred to as “grafting”, while living on the island of Patmos.

.... In 2007, Ellison made a comparison between Bush and 9/11 to Hitler and the 1933 Reichstag fire....

Since he reverted to the standard Nazi comparison, the meeting with Ellison, Pelosi, and George Soros to detail Trump is like the Democrats own Beer Hall Putsch, which will be as likely to succeed as the 20th century Putsch.

Keith Ellison IS the mouth that roared. The guy hasn’t anything going for him, but his mouth. He’s more mouth than Howard Dean. The Democrats need far more than a lip flapper, but IF that’s the direction they want to go, actually it’s good as they will become even less viable than they are today.

In 2006, 6 imams attended a closed door meeting in Minneapolis with a group of other imams. Non-Muslims and the press were not permitted inside.

After the closed door meeting was over, this happened...

It was well documented, at the time, that Ellison attended the closed door meeting.
