U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., told a CNN audience Sunday morning that he will “challenge the basic premise” of upcoming congressional hearings on domestic Islamic radicalization. Ellison, appearing on CNN’s State of the Union with Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King, R-N.Y., said the hearings will fuel the idea that “America is at war with Islam.” Ellison and King, who have been publicly sparring about the hearings for months, kept their debate civil with show host Candy Crowley. “He’s somebody you can talk to,” Ellison told Hot Dish earlier in the week.
