The co-chair of the DNC, Keith Ellison, is running for the office of Attorney General for the State of Minnesota. Mr. Ellison has a glaring #MeToo problem stemming from abuse allegations from a former girlfriend. His Democratic associates have closed ranks around Ellison and now they will be showered for supporting a domestic abuser. It is already providing the GOP with polling gains based on this slapping of #MeToo in the face by the Democrats actions. If the GOP plays their cards correctly, and do not lose their courage, this could be a very interesting set of races in Minnesota.
As Written and Reported By Thomas Lifson for the American Thinker:
Control of the House of Representatives next term may well hinge on Minnesota, where the GOP has a rare opportunity to pick up some seats. Minnesota Democrats have just chosen to embrace Keith Ellison, the nation’s first Muslim congressman, former acolyte of Louis Farrakhan, and DNC deputy chairman, even in the face of credible and corroborated accusations of domestic violence by his former girlfriend. The DFL (Democratic Farmer Labor Party – the state’s version of the national Democrats) voters primary and the party regulars meeting in convention both endorsed Ellison as their candidate for statewide office as attorney general.
Now they are stuck with him. This implicit rebuke of the #MeToo movement should cost them dearly, if the GOP plays its cards skillfully. And we have seen the first sign that the “stupid party” has wised up. This ad from the Congressional Leadership Fund super-PAC targets the state’s Second Congressional District, where one-term incumbent Republican former talk show host Jason Lewis faces Democrat Angie Craig, whom he narrowly defeated in the 2016 election…..
