Minnesota's Muslim AG to Christians: Church Ambushes Are ‘Just Something You’ve Gotta Live With’
Red State ^ | 01/19/2026 | Teri Christoph

Posted on 01/19/2026 8:19:52 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Somewhere out there in the great cosmos, Saul Alinsky is cackling with glee over the way Democrats are providing top cover for the commie radicals running roughshod over the rule of law in Minnesota.

The latest elected official to earn Alinsky's approval, while also making a mockery of law and order, is Minnesota's Attorney General himself, Democrat Keith Ellison. Ellison, who is Muslim and the top law enforcement officer in the state, appeared Monday on Don Lemon's livestream to discuss the Sunday ambush of services at Cities Church in St. Paul by a horde of anti-ICE agitators.

Lemon, it should be noted, could be in a great deal of legal trouble himself over the disgraceful incident, having possibly colluded ahead of time with the agitators who stormed the church. As Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Harmeet Dhillon, revealed Monday, Lemon could face federal charges, saying, "He went into the facility, and then he began 'committing journalism.' As if that is a shield from being an embedded part of a criminal conspiracy. It isn't."

During his conversation with Lemon about Sunday's ambush, Ellison remarked, "None of us are immune from the voice of the public."

Here's exactly what Ellison told Lemon:

"The protest is fundamental to American society. This country started in a protest. It's freedom of expression. People have a right to lift up their voices and make their peace. And none of us are immune from the voice of the public. So I, quite honestly, I think that you've got the First Amendment freedom of religion and First Amendment freedom of expression – and I think it's just something you've just gotta live with in a society."

Harmeet Dhillon likely sees things very differently from Ellison. Dhillon noted Monday that both the FACE Act and the Ku Klux Klan Act could be used to prosecute those who "threaten[ed], hurt, or intimidate[d] people to prevent them from exercising their God-given rights."

Keith Ellison knows full well that the ambushers had no right to enter the private property of the church and stop the faithful from worshipping. He'll happily turn a blind eye to it, of course, as long as the brown shirts for whom he provides cover continue to create chaos. Chaos, of course, is Ellison's justification for seizing more power. 

From the aforementioned Alinsky and his Rules for Radicals:

Rule 1: Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.

Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy.

Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Never let up.

Here's the thing, though. If these are Keith Ellison's terms, they are acceptable. Let's test him on his loose interpretation of the law by organizing a group of Christians to storm Ellison's mosque. It's "just something you've got to live with," apparently. 

To leave things on a lighter note after a day of Minnesota-borne angst, here's one of the funnier Don Lemon takes out there:

Hi friends, this is my Uncle Don. He is unemployed but spends most days talking into his computer, where he says people pay him to comment on the news. We believe he thinks he's some sort of television anchor. A few days ago, he left his home in NYC then appeared on social media…

Hi friends, this is my Uncle Don. He is unemployed but spends most days talking into his computer, where he says people pay him to comment on the news. We believe he thinks he's some sort of television anchor. A few days ago, he left his home in NYC then appeared on social media in Minnesota. If you see him, please let me know, the family is worried for his safety. This is his only jacket.

As always, friends: Carthago delenda est.

Keith Ellison marks himself as another leader of the Democrat Rebel Insurgency.

Yeah, I’m sure protesting at a mosque would go over real well with this turd.

Who wants to go do the same to the Somali mosques in Minneapolis, and cram Keith Ellison’s words right back down his throat?

I don’t think that would happen. They’re not so into turning the other cheek, the Muslims

This demonic fellow was raised Catholic, too. Has no qualms about Christians of all denominations being persecuted, now.

But stay away from mosques ‘cause that’d be islamophobia.

Everyone is about to become well-versed on the FACE Act of 1994 and the KKK Act of 1871.

Some in a court room.

Does it matter? The cops were called and didn’t come.

If anybody crashes a Muslim mosque service, the cops will be called, they will immediately come and arrest any conservatives protesting. And Keith Ali will throw the book at them.

Lots of pet pigs on leashes would go over well.

Don Lemon is in a heap of trouble. He was at that church service disruption. The DOJ is investigating the church protest as a “potential violation of the federal FACE Act.” The Freedom to Access Clinic Entrances Act of 1994 makes it a federal crime to intimidate or interfere with any person “seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship.”

Any FOIA requests on the 911 calls from the parishioners during the trespass and terrorizing?
