T. Belman. Ellison used the Koran when taking the oath to uphold the constitution
Two top Jewish figures associated with the Democratic Party, Sens. Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer, are backing the candidacy of a Muslim, Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, for the party chair.
Schumer, of New York, in line to be the next party leader in the Senate, is backing Ellison’s candidacy, according to anonymously sourced reports Friday in Politico and by NBC.
Sanders, an Independent from Vermont who this year became the first Jewish candidate to win major party nominating contests in his unsuccessful bid to win the Democratic presidential nomination, is also supporting Ellison, according to The Hill, which quoted Minnesota Public Radio.
On board for Ellison as well is Ilya Sheyman, the executive director of the liberal activist group MoveOn and a Jewish immigrant from the former Soviet Union, who emailed a statement of support to reporters.
Ellison, who has indicated he would be interested in the post but has yet to declare, has been a sharp critic of Israel, but also has reached out to pro-Israel groups.
He has organized letters urging pressure on Israel, and was an advocate of drawing lessons from the U.N. Goldstone Report following the 2009 Gaza War – a report Israel dismissed as irredeemably flawed and biased.
Visiting Gaza after the 2009 war with another Congress member, Ellison continued on his own to Israel so he could survey the cost of Palestinian attacks on Israelis. He has pressed Hamas, the terrorist group controlling Gaza, to release the bodies of slain Israeli soldiers at the behest of their families. He has a close working relationship with the Jewish community in Minneapolis.
Sanders named Ellison to the Democrats’ platform drafting committee this summer after the senator lost the party nomination to Hillary Clinton, who went on to lose the presidency to Donald Trump. Ellison and two other Sanders appointees argued forcefully for language that would criticize Israel for its West Bank occupation but were rebuffed.
Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, would replace Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., who resigned this summer under pressure after stolen DNC emails were published revealing the animus at top party levels against Sanders’ candidacy. Until then, she had been the top Jewish official in the party.
Wasserman Schultz was replaced temporarily by Donna Brazile, a longtime party activist.
Rep. Keith Ellison becomes the DNC chair in order to rebuild the Democratic Party, destroyed by Obama (heck of a legacy), by bringing in tens of millions of new voters who are not so deplorable.
Where will those new voters come from?
Rumor has it that lame-duck Obama will offer a state to the Palestinians:
Michigan.
My rumour. That’ll teach Michigan to GOTV.
History repeating itself… the ADL, Jsreet, Soros….Jewish leaders collaborating with todays nazi jew killers, misleading Jews in the USA and the world. Everywhere in the Jewish world we see leftist Jews collaborating with those seeking the destruction of the Jews and Israel…
2 jewish lunatics backing a muslim to head the democratic party.
One more nail in the coffin that is making folks wonder whether jews are 5th columnists in the nation they live. Jews are increasingly associated with globalist run orgs which seek to flood their host nations with migrants AND especially muslim migrants who are perceived by at least half the population as a dangerous threat. So the question becomes “why are jews trying to bring dangerous, intolerant, hateful people to flood our land”. Somehow, I dont think “liberal values” will be a sufficient answer.
Jews are already hated by the muslims they defend and support and soon they will also be hated by the rest of the nation. This will be in all the western nations becuase there will be no escaping the link between the murderous muslim trojan horse and the local Jews. Leave it to the Jews to get every one to hate them and then rationalize that hatred as anti semitism. The leftists and muslims will not change their views of Jews as a result of Jewish appeasement… they will double their anti semitic attacks.
Leftists and muslims are the number one threat to jews and have been overwhelmingly responsible for the skyrocketing anti semitic abuse and murder in the western nations. And yet these lunatic jewish fools defend and support the very ideology which murders them. An article on this forum shows the fear of US jews to invite the zionist Caroline Glick to speak because they are afraid of the leftists and muslims in their university. the leftist muslim brownshirts have been attacking jews in univesity for years and the response of Jews and their orgs is to fight islamaphobia and support more power in the hands of muslims in government. Foks might think that those jews already see the muslims as the eventual winner and are helping them in the hope that the muslims will later not chop off their heads. Jews need to seriously think about their safety with such lunatic behavior.
Ellison = CAIR
