Who is Keith Ellison? (7)

In this morning’s Star Tribune story by Margaret Zack, DFL-endorsed Fifth District congressional candidate Keith Ellison appears as the attorney defending Lamar Lucky Smith, a man charged with the cold blooded murder of (I gather from the story) illegal immigrant Martin Ruiz in Minneapolis last summer: “Two go on trial for ambush killing.” The murder is described by Minneapolis’s former police chief as an execution in cold blood. »

Who is Keith Ellison? (6)

Keith Ellison is the DFL (Democratic)-endorsed candidate to succeed 14-term incumbent Democratic Rep. Martin Sabo in Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District. Ellison is a current state representative; he was endorsed at the Fifth District DFL convention on May 6. The Fifth District includes the city of Minneapolis and is thought to be one of the safest Democratic seats in the country. If so, the DFL endorsement is tantamount to election. However, »

Who is Keith Ellison? (4)

In her Star Tribune column tomorrow, Katherine Kersten takes a look at the DFL-endorsed candidate for Congress in Minnesota’s Fifth District: “Let’s not forget Ellison’s support of Nation of Islam.” She writes: State Rep. Keith Ellison of Minneapolis is the DFL-endorsed candidate for the Fifth District congressional seat. In this DFL bastion, that means that — barring a primary loss — Ellison will succeed Martin Sabo when Congress reconvenes next »

I ask our Minnesota readers in particular to take a look at my post of last night: “Who is Keith Ellison? (2).” It pieces together information on the Democratic-endorsed candidate for Congress in Minnesota’s Fifth Congresional District that has not been reported since Ellison’s endorsement. Michael Brodkorb of Minnesota Democrats Exposed continues to do an excellent job working the story, and I am indebted to him for his disclosure of »

Competition for Keith Ellison?

Featured image Keith Ellison should watch out! It looks like he has real competition for most self-destructive DNC chair: Sally Boynton Brown, who in the speech below at a DNC candidate forum goes full Black Lives Matter and says that her job is to tell white people to shut up when they’ve interrupting. Heck, if you can’t have Ashley Judd for DNC chair, Sally Brown ought to do nicely (about 4 minutes): »

Drip…Keith…Drip…Ellison…Drip…Drip…

Featured image Keith Ellison is leading the race for Attorney General of Minnesota 41-36, according to the Star Tribune poll. But that lead isn’t anywhere near big enough, in my opinion. Revelations about Ellison keep coming out. The latest comes from Karen Monahan, the second of the two women who have accused Ellison of domestic abuse. Monahan has released a medical record from the Park Nicollet Clinic, dated November 2017, that supports »

Covering — or covering for — Keith Ellison

Featured image Star Tribune reporter Jessie Van Berkel purports to cover the words and deeds that should haunt Keith Ellison as he runs for the office of Minnesota Attorney General in “Keith Ellison faces and navigates controversy, again.” Ellison is unfit to serve in any high office, but he is particularly unfit to serve as the chief law enforcement officer of the state. Van Berkel’s article touches on the matters I document »

Keith Ellison supports cop killers

Featured image Bernie Sanders came to town yesterday to support the candidacy of Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Keith Ellison for state attorney general. Sanders made appearances with Ellison at First Avenue in Minneapolis and at Denfeld High School in Duluth. I cannot imagine a political office for which Ellison is less fitted than the head of any organization devoted to law enforcement. Ellison’s candidacy is a disgrace, as is Sanders’s support of »

Understanding Keith Ellison

Featured image Keith Ellison is Minnesota’s Fifth District Congressman and the Democratic Party’s deputy chairman. We’ve followed his rise since he won the DFL nomination to run for the Fifth District seat in 2006 in “Louis Farrakhan’s first congressman” (October 9, 2006), in the companion Power Line post “Keith Ellison for dummies,” and in “The Ellison elision” (February 3, 2014). Most recently, I revisited this history in the context of Ellison’s national »

Keith Ellison’s back pages

Featured image I’ve been writing about Keith Ellison since he was endorsed by the DFL Fifth District convention to succeed Rep. Martin Sabo in the spring of 2006. I wrote some 20 Power Line posts under the heading “Who is Keith Ellison?” I summarized my findings in the Weekly Standard article “Louis Farrakhan’s first congressman” and in the companion Power Line post “Keith Ellison for dummies.” When Ellison published his 2014, memoir »

Keith Ellison for dummies

Featured image After he unexpectedly won the endorsement of the DFL nominating convention for Minnesota’s Fifth District congressional seat on May 6, 2006, Keith Ellison faced a serious problem. The problem was how to deal with his well-known involvement with the Nation of Islam. Had Ellison not managed to dispose of the problem, his candidacy would likely have been irreparably weakened in the competitive DFL primary field. Ellison chose to deal with »

Keith Ellison’s fatwa

Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Keith Ellison made his name as the first Muslim elected to Congress. It was therefore all but obligatory for him to weigh in on the firing of Juan Williams from NPR as a result of Williams’s expression of his feelings on Fox News about seeing air passengers dressed in “Muslim garb,” as he did last week on Ed Schultz’s MSNBC show. It’s always illuminating to hear »

Keith Ellison shills for Hamas…

…on Al Jazeera English. He speaks to Al Jazeera’s Shihab Rattansi about the Israeli offensive in Gaza “and why he feels so few US politicians understand the Middle East.” Ellison represents Minnesota’s Fifth District in Congress. I wrote about him here in a series of posts titled “Who is Keith Ellison” from his nomination by the Democratic Party at the Fifth District convention in May 2006, to the Democratic primary »
