Before this I had doubts Keith could win a statewide race dflprincess Aug 2018 #2

The children of the alleged victim just posted the accusation of Facebook RandySF Aug 2018 #5

I usually agree with you and things you post, but Facebook a few days before the Primary? George II Aug 2018 #122

Randy seems to have penchant for posting negative articles about Bernie Sanders and those associated CentralMass Aug 2018 #28

He posts lots about the various primaries happening all across the country. W_HAMILTON Aug 2018 #32

Yes, he does, but he also does regulary negative post about Sanders and those that align with him CentralMass Aug 2018 #36

Any of those "regularly negative posts" false? I don't think so. George II Aug 2018 #124

Strange.I've noticed that too. Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #53

They're BS' own words and actions.. so if they're "negative" Cha Aug 2018 #117

No he doesn't. You should edit or self delete this attack on him. George II Aug 2018 #123

Respectfully disagree. H2O Man Aug 2018 #136

I pay attention to every state RandySF Aug 2018 #30

You have two Senators and one Representive. Everyone in every state does. LakeSuperiorView Aug 2018 #37

If the person is going to lose to the GOP because of something he's done, then it matters. pnwmom Aug 2018 #39

No, it does not matter to you. They do not represent you. LakeSuperiorView Aug 2018 #43

How about this? RandySF Aug 2018 #45

After what happened to Franken, I am more than a little sensitive about people messing LakeSuperiorView Aug 2018 #51

It's not meddling GP6971 Aug 2018 #110

So when Obama endorses candidates on the upcoming election, he is meddling? hughee99 Aug 2018 #114

Interesting comment. sheshe2 Aug 2018 #140

So you object to AOC, Bernie Sanders, Keith Ellison and some Ninsianna Aug 2018 #162

Please stop telling people "to mind their own business".. Cha Aug 2018 #71

You tell 'em, Cha! spooky3 Aug 2018 #103

Hey, Spooky! Cha Aug 2018 #104

Karma, baby! And, so brave Cha Aug 2018 #111

yes, the article said that an association sent members legal info spooky3 Aug 2018 #113

All you have are disingenuous insults. Cha Aug 2018 #130

Don't know if you live in either Vermont or New York City, but you should be equally annoyed... George II Aug 2018 #127

I'm pissed at a certain someone from New York that thinks their opinion about MN politics matters. LakeSuperiorView Aug 2018 #131

Consider this.. you ever so rudely got on this Cha Aug 2018 #142

"Butting in?" I think that if you can't tolerate conversation about politicians ehrnst Aug 2018 #159

We don't have the luxury of ignoring your legislator - he's involved in policies that affect us ... marble falls Aug 2018 #160

He is also Co-Chair of the DNC RandySF Aug 2018 #44

Welcome to DU, by the way. RandySF Aug 2018 #42

Is this your "A" game? Nt NCTraveler Aug 2018 #48

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever... LakeSuperiorView Aug 2018 #132

Agree. Nt NCTraveler Aug 2018 #134

I guess you haven't been on DU long enough to know. pnwmom Aug 2018 #50

You would be surprized. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, of course. LakeSuperiorView Aug 2018 #57

Democrats openly expressing opinions is absolutely different than secret meddling by Russia, pnwmom Aug 2018 #59

No, a Californian messing with a Minnesota election is a foreign entity. LakeSuperiorView Aug 2018 #60

Then a Vermont Senator stumping for Keith Ellison is a "foreign entity" interfering in an election. pnwmom Aug 2018 #61

You presume a lot. That's something I've noticed about you. LakeSuperiorView Aug 2018 #128

Why do you get so rude and personal? Cha Aug 2018 #144

Hey, Member of DU for 5 whole weeks, this forum is called General Discussion... winstars Aug 2018 #146

Okay, then the other alternative is that you're not being logical. pnwmom Aug 2018 #148

One of the hottest Hot Takes I've ever read on DU. Congrats as I have read many hot takes here emulatorloo Aug 2018 #66

Can Californians donate to a candidate in Minnesota? emulatorloo Aug 2018 #138

"Russian meddling" What a crock. Cha Aug 2018 #139

Californians can donate to candidates in Minnesota. Cha Aug 2018 #145

BULL.. then BS is a "foreign agent" according to Cha Aug 2018 #73

So how do you feel about Senators and Representative candidates campaigning out of state? George II Aug 2018 #125

You just joined DU brer cat Aug 2018 #70

IKR! And, calling us "Foreign Agents".. Cha Aug 2018 #74

Yeah, I bet Randy has never been called that before. pnwmom Aug 2018 #77

I'm sure it's a new one! He's been Cha Aug 2018 #83

You equate voicing an opinion about a politician in another state with Russian meddling? ehrnst Aug 2018 #158

Um, that's some unique logic mythology Aug 2018 #121

That's too bad. Keith Ellison is also vice DNC chair. We're interested in all the States of Cha Aug 2018 #141

Do you feel the same way about Bernie and Alexandria campaigning against incumbent Democrats pnwmom Aug 2018 #38

That was my question! Cha Aug 2018 #75

Keith Ellison is a nationally-recognized Democrat, Music Man Aug 2018 #63

Yes -- that's how it should be here. n/t pnwmom Aug 2018 #65

Does Ellison vote only on laws that only affect Minnesota? NYC Liberal Aug 2018 #68

Excuse me.. RSF posts about States all over the Country.. Cha Aug 2018 #69

Does it matter where he lives? GatoGordo Aug 2018 #98

Yep, another Democrat will be forced out without proof. The son says there's sinkingfeeling Aug 2018 #12

I'm suspicious. SharonClark Aug 2018 #22

I never liked him. Was unhappy when he became involved at the DNC on behalf of Bernie. boston bean Aug 2018 #14

As noted above, we don't know what is going on, other than speculation. theaocp Aug 2018 #16

So should we risk nominating an abuser? Blue_true Aug 2018 #25

He denied it. theaocp Aug 2018 #29

Next step is to look at their primary opponents. Is there a solid opponent pnwmom Aug 2018 #41

This woman is forcefully stating she and her son are telling the truth. We'll see where this goes. boston bean Aug 2018 #52

She is now sharing texts on Twitter. If Ellison is innocent he should call for an investigation stevenleser Aug 2018 #64

This message was self-deleted by its author octoberlib Aug 2018 #67

It is looking like we will see a resignation. boston bean Aug 2018 #76

Judging from her texts, she apparently just wanted him to apologize to her and help her heal stevenleser Aug 2018 #82

Looks like there's a pattern octoberlib Aug 2018 #112

If you read the comments section it is worthless flotsam Aug 2018 #118

You just called him an abuser. Without any evidence. Mike Rows His Boat Aug 2018 #34

There is evidence: the statements of the woman and her son are evidence. pnwmom Aug 2018 #80

Actually, no. Mike Rows His Boat Aug 2018 #85

No, that is physical evidence. Evidence also includes oral and written statements. pnwmom Aug 2018 #89

yes, by that criterion there is evidence of every conspiracy theory. David__77 Aug 2018 #100

Has she filed any charges? The son? Mike Rows His Boat Aug 2018 #90

Accusations aren't evidence. nt Rob H. Aug 2018 #95

But that doesn't mean we should automatically believe it before we have evidence. Mike Rows His Boat Aug 2018 #102

An abuser is a person that abuses another person. Blue_true Aug 2018 #81

You risk nominating an abuser Loki Liesmith Aug 2018 #109

How did she get tagged? Proud Liberal Dem Aug 2018 #35

In a post made by Monahan's son. Nt dflprincess Aug 2018 #40

The son is claiming he saw an incident on video. pnwmom Aug 2018 #46

I suspect the video puts them both in a bad light. joshcryer Aug 2018 #150

Well, since it was taken with her in bed, pnwmom Aug 2018 #151

I think she maybe lashed back. joshcryer Aug 2018 #153

She might have lashed back, for sure. She also might have been in a state of undress, pnwmom Aug 2018 #154

St. Paul Pioneer Press: Ellison denies abuse allegations from ex-girlfriend riversedge Aug 2018 #47

Ellison was the one "Justice Democrats" were petitioning to replace Franken pnwmom Aug 2018 #62

In fact Ellison wrote this "eulogy" on Franken.. Cha Aug 2018 #108

I wonder if LeeAnn Tweeden is coaching her on how to take down good Dems? Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #56

If there is substance to this, then that's one big boulder ! OnDoutside Aug 2018 #155

I really hate what was done to Franken, but in fairness, ecstatic Aug 2018 #161

Someone in a post above said that after Ellison denied, the woman started releasing text messages Blue_true Aug 2018 #84

I wouldn't blame any woman for not wanting to release a video of herself in that situation. nt pnwmom Aug 2018 #92

Yes, if the video exists, it would be humiliating for her. Blue_true Aug 2018 #94

Make her a public figure? tirebiter Aug 2018 #119

Thank you for your concern GaryCnf Aug 2018 #101

Here's what I don't understand. Why is Ellison running for a statewode office? underthematrix Aug 2018 #120

I don't understand it either dflprincess Aug 2018 #143

I don't live in Minnesota but I think Debra Hilstrom is the underthematrix Aug 2018 #147

Don't forget Xavier Becerra left Congress for AG in California OnDoutside Aug 2018 #156
