Full Title - "Who is Keith Ellison? Left-wing congressman with past ties to Nation of Islam wants DNC job"

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.

Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the first Muslim elected to Congress and a leading progressive among House Democrats, already has picked up the backing of both the Democratic Party’s left – with support from Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren – and its establishment, receiving endorsements from Senate leaders Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and retiring Harry Reid, D-Nev.

the IslamoNazi/SorozNazi controllers of the DNC machine...
are stupid to pick someone so obviously of their own evil ilk

they should pick someone that LOOKS more pro-American

but.... stupid is as stupid does

to Hell with them all!
maybe someday the D party voters will figure out a way to oust the evil cabal and get their party back

I don’t have a problem with this. He is the perfect representative of the Democrat Party.

The dems have been doubling down since 2012. And tripled down after the 2014 mid-terms.

This move would result the dems to fall below the Libertarian Party.

Rep Keith Ellison is a long time member of CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood

Trump is about to put the Muslim Brotherhood on the State Dept official Terror List.

It will be nice to have the Chair of DNC openly run by a member who openly supports terrorist watch group instead sneaking around trying to hide the fact like DWS and Donna Brazile

The noise around him started immediately. Hes the closest they have to Obama. Race. Religion. Surprising really that they didn’t try to elevate another woman. Maybe they realize that just saying this is your chance to elect the first this one or that isn’t exactly a plan.

He also connected to the releatively new Muslim USCMO, the US Council of Muslim Oraganizations formed in March of 2014 in Chicago. Most people do not know the party exists. Here are a few links, the first one featuring Ellison:

The Center for Security Policy is known by Trump’s advisors and Gaffney and Lopez are known to President Elect Trump. They are principals within the Center for Security Policy. This link from their efforts is a chronological list of Islamic Jihad events worldwide dating from 2005 and is unknown to most people...it is a great resource updated almost daily:

I believe he is also an ex-con. This was first reported on Powerline when Elison was running for congress, and the MSM was hiding that fact from the voters. In fact, I doubt that the voters in Mpls even are aware of Elison’s criminal past. Not that it would matter to them. Mpls was a stronghold for Hillary Cliton who should never have been allowed on the ballot in the first place.

That Schmucky Schumer would be OK with this.

Schmucky doesn't have much choice. The long knives are out for him as well. A bunch of people were arrested protesting outside his office. They want Sanders as Senate Minority Leader, not Schmucky.

They're also not keen on Pelosi. Don't know who the rabble rousers want for House Minority Leader - would be great if they settled on Sheila Jackson Lee.

Yes, Sheila Jackson Lee. She’s a shrewd strategist. /S
