[LI] According to political operative Richard Grenell, who served as Acting Director of National Intelligence and the U.S. Ambassador to Germany during the Trump administration, the Harris campaign has informed Arab American leaders in Detroit, Michigan, that if Vice President Kamala Harris wins, the hard-Left Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison "is on her short list to be attorney general." If this claim is true, it is difficult to overstate the threat he would pose to a U.S. that has already been weakened by four years of the Biden-Harris administration.
This is a terrible idea for so many reasons, the most recent being his support for the censorship of opposition voices in Brazil, in particular, the decision by a Brazilian judge to ban X inside the country. In a Sept. 2 message ironically posted on X, Ellison wrote, "obrigado Brasil!" "Obrigado," by the way, means "thanks" in Portuguese.
Clearly, there are a lot of "ifs" to this story. But if Harris were to win the election, and if she were to nominate the radical Ellison for the top job at the Department of Justice, and if he somehow made it through a Senate confirmation, his praise for the crackdown on free speech in Brazil would bode ill for the future of free speech in America. |
