Minnesota: Keith Ellison elected attorney general despite domestic abuse allegations

Nov 7, 2018 9:33 am By Robert Spencer

The far-Left, they are different from you and me. They don’t have the same responsibility or accountability. And if they’re Muslim, the blank check is even more readily available.

“Keith Ellison defeats Doug Wardlow in Minnesota attorney general race,” by Stephen Montemayor, Star Tribune, November 7, 2018:

Democratic U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison will be Minnesota’s next attorney general, defeating Republican Doug Wardlow after a bitter campaign marked by allegations of domestic abuse and an intense spotlight on both candidates’ pasts.

Ellison helped deliver the DFL Party a sweep of the statewide elected offices and was met by a raucous room of supporters chanting his name at the party’s election night celebration in St. Paul. Ellison acknowledged the difficulty of the race but said his campaign persevered thanks to his supporters.

“Every single day I will wake up and I will fight to protect the rights of all of us,” Ellison said.

Ellison said “we are all in this together” and that “we are not going to cast anybody away.” “Immigration is a good thing,” he shouted, “having a good-paying union job is a good thing.”

Minnesota voters encountered two candidates who offered starkly different visions for how they would lead the office and two men who spent months painting the other as political radicals.

Ellison, who is also deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has risen to national political prominence since becoming the nation’s first Muslim congressman in 2006. In June, he surprised supporters by announcing that he would give up a safe Democratic House seat to pursue the Attorney General’s Office after Lori Swanson filed to run for governor. Ellison won the DFL Party’s primary just days after ex-girlfriend Karen Monahan alleged that he emotionally and physically abused her.

Ellison, 55, of Minneapolis, has denied Monahan’s claim, and an investigation commissioned by the DFL Party concluded that it could not substantiate the allegations. Republicans dismissed the investigation because the attorney who led the probe works for a law firm that has represented DFL Party interests….

Ellison has a long history of progressive community activism and spent two terms in the Legislature before being elected to Congress. While running for attorney general, he again came under attack for his past association with Louis Farrakhan, the anti-Semitic leader of the Nation of Islam, and for representing the leader of a Minneapolis gang linked to the 1992 slaying of a local officer. Ellison also spoke out in 2000 in support of two women who either killed or attempted to murder police officers.

The DFL Party has stuck behind Ellison since after his primary win, but the investigation it ordered to look into Monahan’s allegation that Ellison tried to drag her off a bed during a 2016 argument failed to produce the clear answers that many sought.

Jerod Greenisen, 27, a St. Paul resident who works for a website design and development agency, said Tuesday that he was uncertain about Ellison for attorney general.

Still, Greenisen added: “I ended up voting for him just because I didn’t think I necessarily had enough information to discredit all the positive things about him….

    Abuse only matters I guess if you are a Republican.

      Agree. And the abuse can be fabricated, but the Dems will not false testimony worry them.

      The Dems are behaving as totalitarians. They appear to be blinded by their lust for power and sense of entitlement.

      Motto of Dems: “WHEN YOU HAVE THE TRUTH, YOU SHOULDN’T BE TOLERANT.”

    Keith Ellison’s election proves the Brett Kavanaugh slanders were NOT about feminism. They were about Left versus Right. Democrats do not care, at all, if a Democrat abuses a woman. But they will quickly falsely accuse a Republican of sexual abuse… without a shred of evidence and even without a credible story.

    supporters of ellison will eventually seriously regret electing this asshole; he is a fake through and through; he goes by the islam laws no matter what comes out of his mouth. wife beating is quite ok; what else will he get by with!! he is a lying asshole. he has no intentions of obeying the laws of our country.

      As AG Ellison will institute more Shariah Laws with more Shariah compliant banks & COURTS to adjudicate muslim conflicts & approve Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) Clinics & the list goes on & on! Michigan & Minnesota have large muslim populations taking over the states & every single aspect of
      all citizens’ lives! It has been going on for decades & Americans have been duped into trying”to just
      get-along” & NOW have islamic student associations at every US college & university taking over campuses & 1000’s of MINDS of uninformed students who are easily indoctrinated!

    This is how a democracy works and why the federal government is set up as a representative republic. You are seeing the results of a small number of Minnesota counties with high population densities out voting the rest of the states smaller towns and less populous counties.

    The democrat party’s sweep of a number of state related offices across the US shows what happens when the urban centers decide for the state how things shall run. What will happen is money will flow into the state capitols to be doled out to the high density centers where all of the votes are. Watch for homelessness, housing costs, and transportation costs to rise as the Democrats tax the living daylights out of everything the populace buys and does.

    If you have never gone to Australia or New Zealand, that is how they operate. You cannot drive across a road or a bridge without paying an outrageous fee, in addition to the already overtaxed petrol you buy. Then, they cannot figure out why it is they have the following problems:
    1. High cost of living
    2. Low wages
    3. Highly educated people in healthcare, education, engineering, and other technical areas leave the country to get higher pay and lower taxes, or work for decades overseas where they are not taxed at all.

    Well it wasn’t a complete blue wave….it was however an islamic wave….and a leftie wave truly foolish in WI have a suspicion there were devious lawyers waiting for the caravans in central America,granting asylum and citizenship with a ballot in hand. Of course gee search engines had it’s directive to go vote…..they didn’t have to tell Republicans…so who really voted.After the energized Trump supporters I am perplexed those thousands in crowds at rallies were out voted but the lefties…laid low…very low.

    Nov 7, 2018 at 7:36 pm

    Just goes to show that there is a lot more work to be done to turn the tidal wave of creeping Jihad. As well as Muslim Keith Ellison being elected, two Islamic chattels were also elected and they probably don’t recognize their status according to Islam but they will push for its acceptance anyway.

    It’s all because the mainstream press, mass media, never carried the issue. It was never reported on by NPR, PBS and the Obama acolytes.
    It never happened for a good percentage of voters…

    Re: “The far-Left, they are different from you and me. They don’t have the same responsibility or accountability.”

    What is “Socialism?” it’s the “cultural” indoctrination or education command to children to Be Sociable – in associating with other people; in stead of simply saying “gangster group-rights-made-rights behavior is bad” the opposite is encouraged: Always try to go along (with the criminals’ main lie that they are really only equally helpless fellow victims to whom you should display submissive useless pity instead of useful but risky anger) to get along (with all the other scary lying extortive criminals). Conclusion: Socialism is basically only extortion, and perpetual extortion is slavery. Commanding others to submit to extortive slavery makes them turn off their brains from fear, inducing psychopathy: paranoia, masochism, hypocrisy: as psychopaths, they feel all emotions – including their twinges of guilt, shame, sympathy and pity – as externally-inflicted pains.

    LEFTOPATHS.

    “Ellison won the DFL Party’s primary just days after ex-girlfriend Karen Monahan alleged that he emotionally and physically abused her.”

    Yeah as soon as women open their mouths regarding abuse and rape the world must believe them? Nope, this has to stop. No proof, no case pure and simple.

    A quick research into the issue you will see cases of women falsely accusing men of rape and abuse. Some of these women lie to the T.

      Ah, but there was proof, but the voters rejected the proof! You did not know of the proof? Ignorance is not a good excuse, no?

      As expected,the islamic trolls will always defend rape,misogyny and justify violence towards women.
      of course it’s difficult for moslem women to report rape isn’t it?Isn’t it 4 witnesses they need?

      It’s the nature of the beast that is islam, and its demonic,immoral,thicko cultists to defend evil.

      Were these women lying?….

      Like Aisha complaining about the “prophet” muhammed?

      “He struck me on the chest which caused me pain”
      sahih muslim 4:21217

      Aisha said “I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women”
      Sahih bukhari 72:715

      Such a long history of the ‘holy’ muslim males beating on women:but of course your god allah{baal} in his perfect koran is ok with it k8:12/k38:44.

      allah is ok with it;allah is ok with most kinds of commandment-of-God violating evil and he has even deceived you idiotic muslims k3:54 into thinking he’s God{“allah’s the BEST of deceiver’s k3;54″You just don’t get it!}

      “A woman came to muhammed and begged him to stop her husband from beating her.Her skin was so badly bruised that it was greener than the green veil she was wearing.muhammed did NOT admonish her husband but instead ordered her to return to her husband and submit to his sexual desires”
      Sahih bukhari 72:715

      In trying to learn how islam developed in the Minneapolis and surrounding area, the role the Lutheran church, and the US Catholic Bishops/Catholic Charities played in transforming the area must be exposed continually. Added to the corruption of the Lutheran and Catholic Charities corruption was the role of the US government, in the form of the Obama Admin., aided in corrupting these two religious organization. US government by giving these corruptible religious organizations taxpayer money to settle islamic colonizers in Minnesota have brought about the expected result. islamic aggression and organizing, plus political association with the DFL, inshrining the dhimmicrat Party as the only way to political power in that geographical location. Additionally, the UN through its resettlement agency, initially picked which persons or group of persons was a “refugee”, or “migrant”. This agency is dominated by the moslem cabal inside the UN. The average “Joe” was not consulted about any of this, and wasn’t part of the decision making process, but will get to reap the diversity reward. Any way this is what I have learned over the years of trying to find out how this “change” has come about.

    Muslim Keith Ellison, the democrat who beat his girlfriend, just won the seat of State Attorney General. He now holds the highest legal authority there. He now is the chief legal advisor to the state government and the state’s chief law enforcement officer. We can only imagine the horrors that will befall Minnesota under his rule.
    Horrors that will spread as Islam spreads, as muslims continue to gain government seats throughout the country.

    Michigan will regret electing this POS. It won’t be long before Michigan recognizes the authority of Sharia Law in non-criminal cases and gradually it will creep into criminal cases. The people of Michigan asked for this and the real God has allowed you to have your way. This will not go away until the state of Michigan undergoes true repentance. And I hope your lame Wolverines make it to the playoffs and meet Alabama in the first round.

    Mac-101, I learned may years ago, being educated at a University does NOT make a person smart. Ellison winning is a VERY BAD sign where the USA is headed. Peace be upon you.
