Toast. GOP voters are perfectly fine with this kind of behavior - Democratic voters, not so much.

“This video does not exist because I have never behaved in this way, and any characterization otherwise is false.”

That’s a categorical denial.

I guess we’ll see if it can be falsified.

Wow… the DNC dodged a bullet. Imagine if he had won instead of Perez and Democrats were headed into the midterms with him as Chair.

This can only mean one thing for New Yorkers. After months of total absolute silence about the various scandals and outrages of this foul time in our history, we can expect our Junior Senator to weigh in demanding Ellison’s immediate resignation from congress and withdrawal from the AG race in 3, 2, 1…

If the relatiinship ended in 2016, NPR viewed the texts and found nothing wrong and allegations are appearing the weekend before a tue primary it has all the makings of a political hatchet job. Let’s not go Al Franken on him.

For what it’s worth, this story was evidently circulating among Minnesota news outlets and wasn’t considered solid enough to run. This is coming out without enough time for more evidence one way or the other to emerge before the primary. Just a couple of data points.

In other OT news, word from Lafayette Park is that a couple hours before the event, there were only about 50 Nazi loons gathered there. Hundreds of protesters.

Franken rule: Ellison must abjectly apologize and resign. (Or have the signals changed yet again?)

Spencer & company were standing on the Metro platform arguing about not being able to bring flagpoles to the event.

Was anyone punching him in the head? I assume those fashie haircuts are designed to give you a clear view of the target.

Anyway I thought I read he was one of the many head loons who argued against having this event. You can’t keep up with all the drama these tween girls get themselves swirled up in.

He also wrote he had viewed a video in which Ellison dragged Monahan off the bed by her feet. Monahan, a Minneapolis political organizer, said via Twitter that what her son posted was “true.”

Who was shooting the video?

What would have happened? Some swing voter would think that because of the allegations against Ellison, Democrats aren’t serious about women’s issues … and then vote Republican?

Alleged behavior. Once again an effort to declare guilty without evidence or due process.

Again, what is wrong with society? Guilty until proven innocent? No effort to look for truth?

That’s what I was thinking. It’s kind of odd to have it on video.

I hope it’s not true, but in any case, this whole thing stinks. If there’s evidence, put it out there.

Total non-scandal. If screaming obscenities and dragging one’s partner off the bed once is disqualifying for Democrats, I’ll bet that 80% of them, women included, are liable to be disqualified. This won’t go anywhere.

Here’s the latest one from a republican. FLA actually issued a retraction, only to find out that what was printed was actually true and not “fake news.” As for Ellison, this is not good and if true, buh bye.
