No they only did that to Trump because they were in bed with Clinton and Podesta.
Podesta invited all the MSM reporters over to his house for parties and who knows what else.

Evidence is the fact that Duke endorsed him. DUH!

Do you think he endorsed Ellison because of Ellison's hatred of black folks? Okay then.
How many people did YOU vote for that hate blacks?

Or should we only be on the lookout for those that supposedly hate Jews?

Have Jews came out swinging against Ellison? If not, then why are you? Seems to me that Jews can look out for their own self interests.

Yes, hating blacks is the very first thing I look for in a candidate.
If none of the candidates hate blacks (or only hate them a little which is not nearly enough for my taste) then I might look at policy differences, but usually I just won't even bother to vote at all.

I am not swinging against Ellison.

I would just like for him to come out and disavow this endorsement. The fact that he hasn't yet done so has to be troubling for the many Jews out there.

Democratic donor Haim Saban: Keith Ellison 'an anti-Semite and anti-Israel individual' - CNNPolitics.com


(CNN)Prominent Democratic donor Haim Saban on Friday described Rep. Keith Ellison, who is running to head the Democratic National Committee, as an "anti-Semite."

"If you go back to his positions, his papers, his speeches, the way he has voted, he is clearly an anti-Semite and anti-Israel individual," the Israeli-American said Friday about the Minnesota lawmaker. "Words matter and actions matter more. Keith Ellison would be a disaster for the relationship between the Jewish community and the Democratic Party."

Saban's comment came unprompted and he did not ask a question.

Where is big headline from ABC, CNN, NBC, etc. with the news that Duke endorsed Ellison two days ago? Nowhere. Nada. When will Ellison disavow this? Remember how mad the Democrats got when Duke praised Trump?

Psych ops. Don't take it for face value. It's subterfuge.

I see. So you're so concerned about Jews, huh? You're their guardian?

When David Duke endorsed Trump, were you equally concerned about blacks?

Point out Ellison's anti Jewish rants and actions. Just one.

At first I wasn't concerned about Duke's endorsement of Trump, because I thought, you know, how can Trump control what loony folks come out and endorse him.

But THEN I read thread after thread, and saw story after story on the news about Trump needing to disavow. I even saw these same threads and "news" stories after Trump had disavowed Duke. Apparently disavowing is something that needs to happen several times before you are allowed to move on.

So NOW I understand how important it must be to disavow early and often, and I am just concerned about Ellison more than anyone.

He probably isn't an anti-Semite, but with Duke endorsing him and Ellison refusing to disavow, I have to wonder, just like everyone else surely must be.

If you don't read, then I'm not going to spoon-feed you. If you don't think Ellison is anti-Semitic, I have zero interest in trying to persuade you otherwise.

I hope the DNC elects him chair. Maybe some of my loyal Democrat relatives will finally see the Democrats for who they are these days: Anti-Semitic, Anti-Israel, Anti-white.
