Opposition Rises Against Rep. Keith Ellison’s Bid to Chair the Democratic National Committee

The opposition is rising against Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison’s bid to become the next chairman of the Democrat National Committee.

On November 14, Ellison, who converted to Islam when he was a college student and is the first Muslim elected to Congress, announced his run to replace interim chair Donna Brazile. He’s getting top level support, including from Sen. Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democratic caucus in the Senate.

Opponents cite Ellison’s effort to insert anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian planks into the Democrat Party platform at this summer’s Democrat Convention. They also worry about his history of support for extreme anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam.

“[H]is vile beliefs… ought to disqualify him outright,” consultant Joel Mowbray said. “If Chuck Schumer actually did his due diligence and is supporting Ellison anyway, that’s shameful.”

Several prominent Democratic leaders told New York City’s CBS affiliate that “they are upset with Schumer for backing Ellison, who has been highly critical of Israel.”

So far few moderates have come to the side of Ellison.

He's getting top level support from Schumer.  Who would have known Trump would sing praises of Schumer?  Pretty smart to support Representative Ellison from Minnesota.  Home to one of the biggest concentrations of Extremist Muslims.  Some who have left to join ISIS.  Now is Ellison a moderate or extremist?  Liberals don't care.

I have always had a good relationship with Chuck Schumer. He is far smarter than Harry R and has the ability to get things done. Good news!

The GOP held the Presidency for 20 of 24 years spanning 1968 through 1992, broken by only a four year term when Ford pardoned Nixon.

Much of stemmed from the anti-war radicalism, rioting, protesting, burning flags, spitting on veterans by DEMOCRATS.

Muslim Ellison is perfect for the new democrat-socialist-homosexual-black party.

In fairness, Ellison comes from the Saunders wing of the party and represents a break from the failed Clinton faction.

I'll wager Ellison getting behind the scenes support from Obama and Soros as well.
