Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) finally addressed the domestic abuse allegations leveled at him by an ex-girlfriend days before a critical primary.
Sarah Taylor, at The Blaze, writes:
Ellison, who won his party’s primary election, stands accused of abusing his ex-girlfriend, prominent environmental activist Karen Monahan.
…
On Saturday, Austin Aslim Monahan, Karen’s son, shared a public Facebook post accusing Ellison of physically and emotionally abusing his mother.
“In the middle of 2017, I was using my moms computer trying to download something and I clicked on a file, I found over 100 text and twitters messages and video almost 2 min long that showed Keith Ellison dragging my mama off the bed by her feet, screaming and calling her a ‘f***ing bitch’ and telling her to get the f*** out of his house,” Austin wrote.
In response to the claims, Ellison issued a statement categorically denying the allegations.
“This video does not exist because I never behaved in this way, and any characterization otherwise is false,” Ellison said, adding that he deeply cares for his ex-girlfriend’s well-being.
The Democratic National Committee’s had a more tepid response, acknowledging the uncertainty of the situation.
