ABSOLUTELY SICKENING – AT 11:26 A.M. ET:   New reporting suggests disturbing ties between elements of the Democratic Party and both the Iranian government and the hateful leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan.  From Daily Caller: 

Three Democratic congressmen attended a private dinner hosted by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in 2013, a new report reveals.

Reps. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, Andre Carson of Indiana and Gregory Meeks of New York attended the private dinner, along with Louis Farrakhan, a notorious anti-Semite who leads the black supremacist group Nation of Islam.

Iran is the number one state sponsor of terrorism, according to the United States government, which has listed the Islamic Republic as a state sponsor of terror since 1984. Rouhani was in New York for a United Nations meeting and held the dinner party just hours after speaking to the UN General Assembly.

Final Call, a Nation of Islam publication, noted the three Democrats’ attendance at the time and included photos of Ellison and Meeks at the dinner party. But aside from the Final Call article, the three Democrats’ presence at the dinner remained secret until a Wall Street Journal column revealed it on Friday. None of the three congressmen’s offices responded to The Daily Caller’s request for comment for this article.

COMMENT:  The meeting is outrageous enough.  Even more outrageous is the fact that Keith Ellison is the vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and was close to being elected chairman.

Ellison must resign.  But I wonder how many Democrats will have the guts to say it.  I also wonder if the media, ever watchful over Donald Trump's non-existent racism, will have anything to say.  Don't hold your breath.
