| Keith Ellison Fights Back Tears During Interview About Abuse Allegations |
| 2018-08-17 |
| [THEDAILYBEAST] Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) got emotional this week during an interview with local television discussing an abuse allegation leveled against him by his ex-girlfriend. In the chat with WCCO-TV, Ellison, who won a primary on Tuesday night in the Minnesota attorney general race, once again denied Karen Monahan’s claim that he physically abused her during their relationship, which ended in 2016. "I know I can’t just run past this controversy and not address it, which is why I’m here with you today," he said, emphasizing his declared desire to try and clear the air. Asked directly if he ever abused Monahan in any way, Ellison flatly said: "No." Neither physically nor emotionally? Ellison, again, said: "No." He was also asked about the most egregious accusation, which first surfaced in a Facebook post by Monahan’s son: That a video exists of the congressman dragging Monahan off a bed by her feet. "There couldn’t be. There couldn’t be such a thing as that," Ellison said when asked if such a video exists. |

| #8 Actually I think he should be OK. As I understand it, Moslem is still higher than women on the victimization totem pole. |

| #4 A lot of what Clinton did to his victims after the tryst was over could be characterized as stalking and abuse. |
