Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.) during a 2008 trip to Saudi Arabia met with a radical Muslim cleric who endorsed killing U.S. soldiers and with the president of a bank used to pay the families of Palestinian suicide bombers.

SOB belongs in Gitmo. Not Washington .

Keith Ellison probably wants to use his position as a senator to help bring in more terrorists and kill more Americans. Ellison personally met with most of the radical Somali terrorists that are coming out of Minnesota. Probably to give them a pep talk and money.
 
Let them elect a pro-Islamic terror supporter to lead their party. It’s a gift.
 
CNN and MSNBC were reporting the same two things about him just yesterday when discussing him being in contention for the chairmanship of the DNC. It looks like it may actually be true.

If it is true then that ain't good.
 
Sanders supports Ellison for DNC chair .

I've always known that the DNC is in favor of seeing Americans get murdered. I knew it when Obama enthusiastically supported gun Running in Mexico for the express purpose of seeing American citizens get shot.
 
Was Ellison supporting terrorism as a Co-Chair of the DNC Progressive Caucus, as a Muslim or just representing the Democratic Party?”

All of the above.

Truthfully? It's hard to say. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. Personally, I don't like the guy, but I'm not going to question his patriotism or loyalty just because he may have met with someone. In his position as a Congressman, and given his religion, he may be in the perfect position to be an official/unofficial US government conduit for talking with those folks. Or, he may just be a rat bastard, but I'm not going there yet. It wouldn't be the first time a Congressman was a conduit for diplomatic negotiations, though, if that's what he was doing. Also, if that WAS what he was doing, the government will NOT admit that if it could kill any deal they may be trying to broker, which if true would put Ellison in a very bad position in the public eye.

We'll see. Anything's possible. I know I've seen more than one Congressman show up in the damnedest places around the world on official/unofficial business.
 
Everyone needs to step back and take a breath before accusing this Congressman of Treason.

It's very possible that the Obama Administration had him there meeting with those people to represent the US Government in talks.

We don't know. and until we do, we should not be accusing a Congressman of Treason. IMHO. And, I don't even like the guy... at all.
 
Of-course he does

And Sanders convinced Schumer. While Israel expresses concern. As I watch my fellow DEMs piss away another constituency.

With friends like voters of stein, sanders, and Obama; Clinton didn't need any enemies. GOPs must be salivating over the 2018s .

Its safe to assume that EVERY cleric in KSA is a "radical" by our standards, and the USA has been their best friend for decades.
 
A very honest response. I can respect that.

Wasn't around posting on DP since June until after the election.

Not in a very forgiving mood towards the stein/sanders/Obama coalition.

Dude, really, it's ok, he's not up for re-election, you don't have to spout this nonsense.
