Son of Minnesota’s attorney general: 'I hereby declare, officially, my support for ANTIFA'

close Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison on investigation in George Floyd's death

The son of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison tweeted on Sunday that he is declaring his support for Antifa after President Trump said that his administration would be declaring it a "Terrorist Organization."

Jeremiah Ellison, who is a member of the Minneapolis City Council, noted in the tweet that he believes "white power" terrorists are actually the ones engaging in the looting, arson and other riot activities as violent sects hijack some of the protests against racial inequality and police brutality in the wake of the death of George Floyd last Monday.

"I hereby declare, officially, my support for ANTIFA," Ellison said. "Unless someone can prove to me ANTIFA is behind the burning of black and immigrant owned businesses in my ward, I’ll keep focusing on stopping the white power terrorist THE ARE ACTUALLY ATTACKING US!"

Floyd died in the custody of the Minneapolis Police Department after officials said officer Derek Chauvin used his knee to pin Floyd, who is black, to the ground by his neck for several minutes as Floyd begged for air. Chauvin was later charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced Sunday night that the Attorney General Ellison's office would lead the case against Chauvin.

"We are going to bring to bear all the resources necessary to achieve justice in this case," Ellison said in response.

Antifa is a far-left militant movement that calls itself "antifascist," and has no defined organizational hierarchy or membership process. Antifa demonstrators have been known to travel across state lines to engage in vandalism, looting and other forms of violence in places where there is civil unrest.

The Ellison twitter post with Antifa pic seems to be gone now.

I get your point. I mean it seems to be gone from Ellison’s twitter posts. In fact I don’t see anything about antifa there.

Yes, or maybe they are trying to stop the political bleeding, although they seem to be hoping for real bleeding.

Once they realize they are verbally over-extended, they will try to hide behind a semantic screen where they claim that white supremacy led to the cop incident and that sparked the violent protest. So in that way, they fudge the analysis and say white supremacy led to the riots.

It won’t work because only about one fifth of the population feels any support for the radical left, and of that perhaps half are lukewarm. If it came to a shooting war, the radical left would find themselves with very few allies in the military or police ranks. It would not end well for them.

I can’t say that I am hoping it will end well for them. This has been a long time coming, they reap the whirlwind.

WOW. BUMP!
