MAYBE THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT – AT 3:340 P.M. ET: Keith Ellison is the radical vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee. He is a former nation of the hate group called the Nation of Islam. He is running to become attorney general of Minnesota. And he has credible, documented charges of domestic violence against him. Otherwise, he's a great guy.
The Minnesota race is getting closer and closer, and now a legal action may spell doom for Ellison. We certainly hope so. From the Washington Times:
A county court has ordered Rep. Keith Ellison’s divorce records to be unsealed, allowing more scrutiny into the Democrat’s private life as he fights off the abuse allegations upending his campaign for Minnesota attorney general.
Hennepin County Family Court referee Jason Hutchison released an order Friday saying the records of Mr. Ellison’s 2012 split with ex-wife Kim Ellison will be unsealed Oct. 17, ruling that “open access is the presumption in Minnesota.”
Kim Ellison, who is also an elected official as a member of the Minneapolis school board, has said there was no abuse during their 20-year marriage. Mr. Ellison plans to appeal the decision, according to his attorney.
“Keith and Kim Ellison remain jointly opposed to this effort to exploit the details of their personal life, and the lives of their children, for political gain,” Ellison attorney Carla Kjellberg said in a statement to media outlets.
The Minnesota Star Tribune and AlphaNews sued to have the records unsealed in the aftermath of abuse allegations made in August by Karen Monahan, Mr. Ellison’s ex-girlfriend, who said that he dragged her from a bed by her foot screaming obscenities.
Mr. Ellison has staunchly denied the Monahan allegations, as well as a previous claim by another woman, Amy Alexander, who said he pushed her and broke her screen door in 2005.
The Democrat has accused Ms. Alexander of harassing him and noted that he obtained a restraining order against her in 2006, but a recently unearthed police report shows that officers responded to a 9/11 call in 2005 from a woman who claimed she was assaulted by Mr. Ellison.
COMMENT: He is entitled to the presumption of innocence. We believe that on our side. But his history is awful and the charges against him include hospital reports of injuries to specific women.
We await facts. All we want is facts.
