I take it you are giving Keith Ellison the benefit of the doubt?
I’ll be voting tonight after work.
I hate to break it to you Doc ,but some rightit wingnuts are women and Muslim ,some are both.
@1, my take on the Ellison accusation is this. If Ellison loses, the video will never come out and his most passionate followers will be angry and less likely to go to the polls and vote in November. If Ellison wins, the video will come out and depress Democratic turnout at the polls in November. Politics ain’t beanbag.
If there is a video. It’s rather curious that they have not produced it.
@5 It’s a head-I-win, tails-you-lose strategy. If the video is shown now, it’s all but certain that Ellison goes down but the issue is resolved. So you don’t produce it unless it’s to your benefit to. If it’s to your benefit to not produce it, you don’t. This of course presumes that it’s the opposing party that’s got control of said video. I could be wrong about that, but it’s odd that the kid involved just wouldn’t do it to back up their assertions. We’ll see, I guess.
@davidc1: Sure, but how often are the people who they elect? There are committees on things like women’s rights that don’t manage to have a single woman on them, and I think the Muslim Republicans in office might be even more scarce.
It seems the Somalian lady won ,even made the British Independent news site .

It’s unfortunate that those aren’t necessarily the safe votes here in Florida.
