Domestic Abuse Allegations Surface Against Congressman Keith Ellison (2006 stories also pop up)
CBS Local ^ | 8/12/18 | Mary McGuire

**SNIP**

“One night I confronted him very calm about a lie he had just told me straight to my face. What happened next was a rage that I had never witnessed to that magnitude. He was becoming a person I had never seen before. The next morning, he came into the room I was sleeping in. I was laying across the bed with my headphones on, listening to podcast on my phone. He said he was about to leave town for the weekend and told me to take the trash out. Given the explosive outrage that occurred the night before, I just should shook my head yes. I didn’t look up at him or saying anything,” the statement reads. “That is when he tried to drag me off the bed by my legs and feet, screaming “b — you answer when I am talking to you. I said take out the trash, your a bad guest (even though we were living in the same place). He kept trying to drag me off the bed, telling me to get the f– out of his house, over and over. I froze. He had to leave and get on the plane. He knocked the shoe off my foot and told me I better be gone when he gets back (which was in two days).This happened in 2016. The gaslighting, manipulation, name calling and cheating started in 2014. By time the physical abuse occurred, I was dealing with the PTSD full blown.”

She also offers an explanation as to why she chose to speak out.

“Part of living an authentic life and taking back your freedom, means breaking your silence, if that is what feels right for you,” the statement said.

Among those defending the congressman is his ex-wife and current Minneapolis Board of Education member, Kim Ellison, who issued a written statement Sunday afternoon. “I want members of our community to know that the behavior described does not match the character of the Keith I know."

Does the ex also know all about the other allegations made by Amy Alexander back in 2006? Just heard about that one on the radio.

HO HO HO! Just following the tenets of the religion!

Wondering if the media will go wild with this like they did with omarosa tape and stormy whore tape.

As a Minnesotan and GOP activist, I have to be 100% honest in saying that I want Ellison to win the Democrat primary for Attorney General tomorrow.

Even before these recent revelations, I viewed him as damaged goods (ideologically) that would not play well out side of the 4th and 5th Congressional Districts (the inner cities of St Paul and Mpls as well as some first ring suburbs).

If ever the GOP has a clear chance at winning the Attorney Generals office (s position we have not held since the late 60’s), this is it. We have an active, coherent and able candidate for AG and I believe he could defeat Ellison in November.

Are we being hard on Keith Ellison because he is a member of the Nation of Islam and defended Louis Farrakhan? Because he is anti-semitic? Because he viciously hates Trump and works to take away his right to be the duly elected president we elected?

In that case, okay.

Agreed. I should vote for him tomorrow, early and often. I think he would be easy to beat out in the American part of the state.

Apparently, this is a pattern.

Islam has found a disciple in very good standing with Keith Ellison. Unfortunately, REAL Muslims think “Nation of Islam” is a joke and a cesspool of apostasy.

Despite this divide, Keith Ellison has studied the instruction manual that is the Koran, and has applied them assiduously in his personal life. This includes making sure that those in his household are prepared to accept Paradise as ruled over by Allah, and he has to make them “pure”. That means driving every taint of Satan out of their bodies, and if that involves a little beating, so be it. But pure they shall be.

Uh, oh.

This is not the first time Ellison has come under fire for abuse. In 2006, another one of Ellison’s former girlfriends, Amy L. Alexander, wrote a piece in The Wright County Republican in which she claimed “he could explode in a tirade at any moment. He was a little dictator.”

“He grabbed me and pushed me out of the way. I was terrified. I called the police,” Alexander wrote. “Keith began a smear campaign against me that very day … I feared for my life and for the safety of my daughter.”

In 2012, Ellison called his Republican opponent, Chris Fields, a “lowlife scumbag” and a “gutter dweller” during a local radio debate, after Fields accused Ellison of paying a firm hundreds of thousands of dollars to find information about Fields’ divorce. Ellison denied it and responded by saying Fields was “stupid” for bringing it up.

I’d love to cross over and vote in the Dem primary tomorrow. Erin Murphy, the Dem-endorsed candidate for Governor) is another product of the 4th and 5th CD’s. She won’t play well outside those areas either.

But out in Shakopee, we’re having a bitter GOP primary for state rep (HD 55A). We have a good chance at ousting a two-term GOP member who’s voted with the Dems way too many times. Also, we have the GOP primary for Governor. I’m not a big Pawlenty fan but I hold Jeff Johnson (and a number of his supporters) in low regard. Pawlenty, IMHO) has at least a chance of winning the Governor’s office. Johnson doesn’t.

Remember this guy want DNC Chair and ‘they’ aced him out with Perez.

With the timing of this ‘charge(s)’ one would think Ellison was a Republican —

This is a time proven D strategy..

Why DNC thinks they are ‘representing’ the masses when having a Commie/Socialist leader and a Muslim as # 2, we, as Conservatives should be rejoicing and let them go..

The old ‘if your enemy is ‘destroying’ himself, stand back and give him plenty of room to complete the job’ applies here.

Minnetonka here. Pawlenty seems like a reinvented wishy washy guy but he appears to be all we have. Sad.

The local Star Tribune and Huffington Post, CBS and MSN (quoting the Star Trib) were the only screaming liberal MSM that ran with a largely sympathetic piece. Ellison has come out denying it ever happened. Stony silence from the rest of MSM.

Ellison is one of the DemonRat extreme lefties who had a shot as a possible candidate in 2020. We'll see how this plays out?

Anyone checked on the woman in question?

Has she mysteriously left the country? Is a newly tagged Lincoln Navigator sitting in her driveway?
