Rep. Keith Ellison’s (R-MN)
Whaaa? I certainly hope he loses his bid for chair of the DNC, now that he’s switched parties!
I was mystified when I learned Keith had abruptly cancelled a NYT interview after he learned he would be questioned about his association with Reverend Louis Farakhan. Surely, if he had no problem denouncing Farakhan’s anti-Semitism, he wouldn’t have cancelled, right?
“The United States foreign policy in the Middle East is governed by what is good or bad through a country of 7 million people,"

Ummmm

Aside from these half hearted retorts, I’m not to

Gah, someone always bests me to it.
Yeah, this article seems rushed. The first two sentences each have a fairly glaring error.
Fuck the ADL. Where the fuck were they all this past year while Trump ran rampant?
Oh, that’s right, the GOP and Trump all pander to Israel and Bibi the Neo-Fascist, so shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
“His words imply that U.S. foreign policy is based on religiously or national origin-based special interests rather than simply on America’s best interests,”
So do the words of those who pander to Bibi the Neo-Fascist, not to mention our nation’s actions.
Um…they do grasp the irony of these words precisely describing Trump’s immigration policy, don’t they?
The larger question here the issue of broadening the tent to include not only identity voters but also independent voters seeking an inclusive economic message.
Democratic National Committee chair is a full time job. I like Keith but now is not the time for a part-timer.
He’s the wrong guy right now for the Dems.
Think he’s done now.
Seems his comments are spot on to me.
Did you say the same about DWS?
How so?
No.
Really? The ADL is going to use a politician’s position on the Iran deal (JCPOA) as a litmus test for supporting candidacy to DNC Chair?
I know a lot of people want new faces and younger faces but I still like Howard Dean. He did pretty damn well with the 50 state strategy, he’s strong and takes no shit from anyone.
As long as the Dems choose someone who is effective I’m on board, just saying I like Howard.
The ADL are a bunch of racists. They support the Jim Crow system Bib has built in Israel.
Screw them.
The alternative is the guy whose first appointment was a neo-NAZI.
