Congressman Keith Ellison failed in his bid to become the next Chair of the DNC in 2016. And that might have been a good thing. Some of it is of his own making as past comments come back to haunt him. Some of it is a result of the leadership of the Democratic Party trying to figure out how to put things back together after Hillary’s devastating loss to Donald Trump. That’s not going to be an easy job.
In fact, just getting someone elected as the DNC’s next chair is proving to be a problem — one made worse by infighting between the White House which unofficially opposes Mr. Ellison, and other powerful forces within the DNC such as Senators Schumer, Warren, and Sanders who support him for the position.
So what part of Mr. Ellison’s past is causing him trouble? See page two for the answer.
Must be a democrat.
I would think that all the non- Jewish democraps would want this SOB to be their leader???
its time for the american people to be heard no more islamization of the united states.
With party leaders like this clown, they’re done!
back to your herd of goats.
Terrorist hunt him down and shout him Armey.
For those of you who can’t access the article: Some top Democrats had hoped to pre-empt a contest by backing Mr. Ellison’s bid. Mr. Schumer, Ms. Warren and an array of House members and unions were lining up behind him even before he formally entered the race.
But along with his inability to do the job full time and his links to Mr. Sanders, Mr. Ellison’s past criticism of Mr. Obama and praise for Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam leader, worry some Democrats looking for a figure to lead the opposition to Mr. Trump.
Mr. Ellison, a Muslim, defended Mr. Farrakhan in the 1990s, saying he was “not an anti-Semite,” and has positioned himself on the left flank of congressional Democrats on Israel.
Mr. Farrakhan is hardly a force for unity in out country.
It is hard to get liberal democrats to think they already know what they are going to say. Your a racist. Thats all the further they can pay attention.
If he is appointed, the Democrats will surely go down the crapper.
We need to remove all Muslims from government positions if we are to stop infiltration of Islam. What part of Sharia law do we need understand?
