Sounds like a great choice for the Democratic Party
What do you all think?
Bernie Approves.



Ellison is a black Muslim from Minnesota – not exactly a reflection of the crowd the Democrats lost in 2016. He’s also a radical leftist on economic policy, endorsed by socialist Senator Bernie Sanders. As Jack Heretik of Free Beacon points out, “He supported impeaching then-Vice President Dick Cheney, compared President George W. Bush to Hitler, and blamed Bush for the September 11 attacks.” He’s radically anti-Israel, too; he compared Israel to South African apartheid, and wanted Israel to grant concessions to the terrorist group Hamas. Ellison was linked to the anti-Semitic Nation of Islam, and as The Weekly Standard reports, “he himself mouthed those views.”

I don't necessarily have a problem with someone just because they're Muslim. I don't think that defines them as a terrorist. I would look more closely at what said person has said and done.

What do his religion or the color of his skin have to do with anything?

Kind of a mixed message from the other news saying they want to court the whites they lost to Trump. This won't resonate with those folks.

However, Michigan has a large Muslim population so maybe one step at a time?

Are you suggesting that white Trump voters would prefer a Democrat who wasn't black or a Muslim?

This part not worrisome ?

He’s radically anti-Israel, too; he compared Israel to South African apartheid, and wanted Israel to grant concessions to the terrorist group Hamas. Ellison was linked to the anti-Semitic Nation of Islam, and as The Weekly Standard reports, “he himself mouthed those views.”
