anti-Semitic liberal in charge of DNC

in an effort to include all liberals, the democrats sure are exclusively racist at times.

The Anti-Defamation League pulled its support of Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.) to head the Democratic National Committee after it was revealed that the congressman complained to a private audience that Israel has control of U.S. foreign policy in the United States.

“New information recently has come to light that raises serious concerns about whether Rep. Ellison faithfully could represent the Democratic Party’s traditional support for a strong and secure Israel,” wrote ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt in a Thursday statement.

Greenblatt called the comments “deeply disturbing and disqualifying,” and saidthey are based on “age-old stereotypes.”


When the Minnesota congressman announced his candidacy to lead the Democrats’ largest umbrella group, it immediately drew scorn from hawkish pro-Israel groups for his past criticisms of Israel, his previous affiliation with the Nation of Islam and his past defense of Louis Farrakhan against charges of anti-Semitism, which he later walked back

Also noticed was Ellison’s divergent views on Israel from past Democratic leaders, including a more openly critical posture.

He opposed efforts to castigate the UN’s Goldstone Report, which alleged Israel committed war crimes by deliberately targeting civilians during its 2009 war in the Gaza Strip — a claim the South African jurist who led the report committee, Richard Goldstone, retracted in 2011. Ellison also voted against increased Iron Dome funding during the 51-day Gaza conflict in the summer of 2014.
