Democrats silent on harassment allegations against Muslim Keith Ellison by ex-wife

When partisan politics trump principles

Newsroom September 24 07:35

As top Democrats speak out on sexual misconduct claims against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, they’ve been largely silent on physical and verbal harassment claims against one of their own: Rep. Keith Ellison, a top Democratic National Committee official.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, revealed earlier this month she knew of the initial accusations that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted a woman in the early 1980s, when he and the accuser were teenagers. Feinstein, D-Calif., called for an immediate postponement of the Kavanaugh nomination process Sunday night after another woman publicly claimed he harassed her.

Feinstein said the serious allegations deserve a “fair, independent” investigation from the FBI.

Meanwhile, Ellison’s ex-girlfriend, Karen Monahan, on Sunday claimed there’s been a smear campaign against her to help her husband. Last week, she said many Democrats haven’t believed her claims: “I’ve been smeared, threatened, isolated from my own party.”
