The Sierra Club Slams Rep. Keith Ellison Over Allegations He Physically Assaulted Their Activist

Daily Caller: The Sierra Club tossed its support behind the woman accusing Rep. Keith Ellison of physical assault as the Democratic lawmaker fends off stiff opposition in his campaign for attorney general in Minnesota.

“We are deeply troubled and disturbed by our colleague Karen Monahan’s descriptions of abuse by Keith Ellison,” the Sierra Club wrote in a press statement Tuesday, referring to activist Karen Monahan’s accusation against the Democrat. Monahan works for the group on anti-coal initiatives.

Reports that Ellison physically assaulted and psychologically abused Monahan sprang up after her son, Austin Aslim Monahan, claimed in an Aug. 12 Facebook post that he has evidence of the attacks.

“Everyone should have high expectations for those in office — and everywhere — to live and work with integrity, respect and accountability,” Sierra Club’s statement added. “Karen is our colleague, our friend, and our partner in fighting for a more equitable, inclusive, and just world, and she, her son, and her family deserve to be treated with respect.” more here

  1. As much as I believe that it’s a good thing that they’re sticking up for her, I can’t understand how this isn’t a bigger story for more media outlets. It’s shocking, democrat or not. This just doesn’t make any sense.

  2. At first I was pissed that he won the D primary for Atty Gen of MN. Now, I think it was a blessing. Whoever runs against him should be a shoo-in. Of course, that doesn’t count for massive voter fraud, media silence about his troubles with women and the large muslime population of MN.

    I feel sorry for my friends that I left when I escaped MN last year.
