GOP hanging Keith Ellison’s #MeToo problem around the necks of Dem House candidates in Minnesota

AT:

Control of the House of Representatives next term may well hinge on Minnesota, where the GOP has a rare opportunity to pick up some seats.  Minnesota Democrats have just chosen to embrace Keith Ellison, the nation’s first Muslim congressman, former acolyte of Louis Farrakhan, and DNC deputy chairman, even in the face of credible and corroborated accusations of domestic violence by his former girlfriend.  The DFL (Democratic Farmer Labor Party – the state’s version of the national Democrats) voters primary and the party regulars meeting in convention both endorsed Ellison as their candidate for statewide office as attorney general.

Now they are stuck with him.  This implicit rebuke of the #MeToo movement should cost them dearly, if the GOP plays its cards skillfully.  And we have seen the first sign that the “stupid party” has wised up.  This ad from the Congressional Leadership Fund super-PAC targets the state’s Second Congressional District, where one-term incumbent Republican former talk show host Jason Lewis faces Democrat Angie Craig, whom he narrowly defeated in the 2016 election. more

  1. About time the GOP fights fire with fire. They certainly haven’t been bashful attacking their own, and yes, like it or not, Trump is the leader of “their” party. He’s just doling out better party favors than they’re accustomed to.

    Anyone valiant enough to toss out “whataboutisms” (we’re better than that), hasn’t been paying attention in that it’s a dog eat dog world, and poodles are no match against pit bulls.

    Nancy, Chuck, Maxine, Keith…. hit ‘em hard and hit ‘em again.

  2. jason lewis had a talk show some years back that i would hear on my travels. He was impressive as a conservative and tried to run for office back then. Glad to see he made it.

    He was relentless in his attacks then and hasnt appeared to stop now.

  3. Amazed that #MeToo has never been amended to #MeTooirrelevantStupidlySellingMyAssduetoALackofTalent for a job. Glad to see the accusations in the idiot social media world coming to reality Not sure a response is needed to a failed cause like this has always been.
