The Democrats are continuing to holler with every new inductee in the Trump transition team pick.  It would alarming if the Dem’s had any common sense; but, with the past eight years and their terrible decisions for our country – how can we even take them seriously?

So, as far as I am concerned, let them squeal like a stuffed pig.  Instead of being so concerned about Donald Trump, they need to worry about their pig pen – they are considering to put Keith Ellison as the head DNC Chair and I am not whistling in Dixie.

Who is Keith Ellison? Left-wing congressman with past ties to Nation of Islam wants DNC job and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Democrats eye Ellison to be new DNC chair

In an attempt to stave off a civil war in the ranks, Democratic leaders are scrambling to unite behind a candidate for the party’s chairmanship – and have landed for now on a Louis Farrakhan-linked congressman who once called for Dick Cheney’s impeachment and compared George W. Bush to Hitler.
Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the first Muslim elected to Congress and a leading progressive among House Democrats, already has picked up the backing of both the Democratic Party’s left – with support from Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren – and its establishment, receiving endorsements from Senate leaders Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and retiring Harry Reid, D-Nev.

Ellison is firmly on the party’s left – he has a fax line in his office, but his website says they will not respond to faxes “for environmental reasons.” He backed Bernie Sanders during the primaries, even introducing him at the convention.

“Bernie sparked the beginning of a revolution y’all,” Ellison said at his address during the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. “Together we call for climate justice, racial justice, wage justice.”

Sanders has given strong backing to Ellison in return, sending out a fundraising email saying an Ellison-led Democratic Party that will stand up to Wall Street greed and corporate America is “the Democratic Party we need.”

Ellison formally announced his bid Monday, saying the party needs to rebuild its ties to voters.

“This election cycle, we did not motivate enough people to the ballot box. We must champion the challenges of working families and give voters a reason to show up at the polls in 2018 and beyond,” he said in a statement.

On Sunday, Ellison said the party needs to focus on middle- and working-class Americans and less on donors.

“I love the donors and we thank them, but it has to be that the guys in the barber shop, the lady at the diner, the folks who are worried about whether that plant is going to close, they’ve got to be our focus,” he said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Some strategists feel this economic message is exactly what the party needs to reach out to white working-class voters who pulled the lever for Trump.

“You can’t stand up for middle-class families if you are so closely associated with Wall Street and I think that was the issue with Clinton, her ties to Goldman Sachs, and I think that’s shown by how much money we raised from Wall Street,” Brad Bannon, Democratic strategist and CEO of Bannon Communications Research, told FoxNews.com. “We have to become more oriented to working-class families if we’re going to survive and prosper, because we blew the industrial Midwest.”

However, Ellison’s past associations and comments may trouble more moderate voters.

Ellison’s 2006 run for his seat was plunged into controversy after the conservative PowerLineBlog.com found he had once identified with Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam and in 1998 was referring to himself as Keith X Ellison and Keith Ellison-Muhammed.

The Washington Post reported that Ellison had defended Farrakhan against accusations of anti-Semitism in 1989 and in 1990 had called affirmative action a “sneaky” form of compensation for slavery, calling instead for reparations.

When the controversy erupted in 2006, Ellison acknowledged he had worked with the group, but only for 18 months to help organize Farrakhan’s 1995 Million Man March. He distanced himself from both Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, and said he hadn’t scruitinized the group’s anti-Semitic positions appropriately.

“They were and are anti-Semitic, and I should have come to that conclusion earlier than I did,” he said.

Yet it isn’t the only controversy for Ellison. In 2007, Ellison made a comparison between Bush and 9/11 to Hitler and the 1933 Reichstag fire.

“9/11 is the juggernaut in American history and it allows… it’s almost like, you know, the Reichstag fire,” Ellison said, according to a Daily Telegraph report at the time. “After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put the leader of that country [Hitler] in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted.”

He later clarified that he did indeed believe that Usama bin Laden was responsible for the terror attacks. But it wasn’t the only controversy for Ellison in 2007, as he also backed a movement to impeach then-Vice President Dick Cheney over his alleged fabrication of intelligence about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Ellison has competition for the job. Former DNC chairman and ex-presidential candidate Howard Dean has put his name in the running. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley also said he’s considering a run.

And then there is more on Ellison that he is tied at the hip with the Muslim Brotherhood which is certainly not something you want to write home to your mother.  As we all know Obama’s White House  was composed of czars all toe tagged as Muslim Brotherhood knights.

Frank Gaffney: Keith Ellison a ‘Very Aggressive Hard Leftist Enabler’ of Muslim Brotherhood

Center for Security Policy President Frank Gaffney was a guest on Breitbart News Daily Wednesday morning, where SiriusXM host Alex Marlow asked him to run through the arguments for and against Rep. Keith Ellison becoming chair of the Democratic National Committee.
“I’m not really equipped to make the case for Keith Ellison,” Gaffney admitted, but he went on to guess that “the appeal of Keith Ellison is that he is a young, very aggressive hard leftist – actually my friend Trevor Loudon in his film The Enemies Within has pointed out, a guy with actual communist ties; that’s how hard Left.”
“But he’s also a Muslim who has been hanging with, embracing, supporting, and otherwise carrying on with the Muslim Brotherhood in America,” Gaffney continues. “And that would apparently be something that qualifies him to be a leader of the Democratic Party these days. You see a lot of it in the last campaign. I can’t make the case that that’s good for Democrats. I can’t make the case that it’s good for America. But hey, if the Democrats want to take the poster child of what I think of as the ‘Red-Green Axis’ and make him the titular leader of their party, bring it on.”

Gaffney saw outgoing Senator Harry Reid’s call for Trump to nourish “unity” by dismissing former Breitbart News Daily host Steve Bannon from his White House team as little more than “crocodile tears.”

“The last thing Harry Reid wants, let’s be honest, is unity either within Republican ranks or, I believe, within the country,” he declared. “He has been one of the prime enablers of Barack Obama’s efforts to divide us over the past eight years. And I mean not just in a rhetorical way. I mean actually enabling it through his efforts to sabotage essentially anything useful being done in the United States Senate during the past eight years.”

“Here’s the point, Alex: I think whatever we want to say, we’re not going to appeal to the people who believe that it is in their interest to move – well, to use the President’s famous term – to ‘fundamentally transform’ the United States of America,” Gaffney said. “I think Steve Bannon is the object of their intense criticism at the moment for one simple reason: he beat them. He beat them to a pulp in this last election, and they’re terrified of what he might be able to do should he become President Trump’s chief strategist. I think that’s a powerful reason for the rest of us who want Donald Trump to succeed to believe and understand that Steve Bannon’s gonna be key to that.”

Returning to Ellison, Gaffney noted that “most recently, he has been the chair of the Progressive Caucus, which is, of course, the euphemism that is now used by the Democrats to describe the hard Left within their circles.”

“I mean, it’s the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic Party, or maybe the Hillary Clinton-Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic Party,” he explained. “But beyond that, and I sort of touched on some of the key points, Keith Ellison is a Muslim, and there’s nothing wrong with being a Muslim. There’s a lot wrong with being a Muslim Brother or an enabler or supporter or fundraiser or otherwise facilitator of the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood in our country.”

Gaffney referred to “a document that was introduced into evidence by the federal government that says the mission of the Muslim Brotherhood – this is its own statement – the mission of the Muslim Brotherhood is, quote, ‘destroying Western civilization from within,’ by its own hands, basically. That’s a quote.”

“That’s the kind of thing that, when you see a Keith Ellison promoting groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations, promoting the Islamic Society of North America, promoting the Muslim Students’ Association, and on and on – all groups with an absolutely indisputable pedigree of ties to the Muslim Brotherhood – it’s appalling,” he said.

“I mean, it should be disqualifying from Congress, for crying out loud, let alone being the head of one of our parties. But again, that’s up to the Democrats to decide if that’s the kind of person, if that’s orientation, if that’s the kind of agenda that they espouse. They will find, I think, many of us very critical of it, and I think properly so,” Gaffney contended.

Marlow asked for the evidence of Ellison’s connection to the Muslim Brotherhood.

“Well, it’s quite exhaustive,” Gaffney replied, once again recommending the film The Enemies Within for details about “Keith Ellison’s days as a young college activist, when he was hanging with communists, and how over the subsequent years he began out of Minnesota to become associated with, and to be endorsed by, and to engage in fundraising efforts of, and to otherwise participate in Muslim Brotherhood front organizations, activities, events, fundraisers, agendas.”

He said these activities included “a very concerted effort to try to mobilize – again, I don’t believe all Muslims, but Muslims who embrace, as apparently, Keith Ellison does, sharia and its supremacy, as part of the Democratic electorate in this election.”

“They were trying to get a million people out,” Gaffney recalled. “I don’t think that worked. They were using mosques, including the most radical ones, to serve as polling places. Registration drives were conducted there and so on. And you know, thank God, it didn’t work. The American people, I think, in a very pronounced way, repudiated the kind of agenda that not just Keith Ellison, but frankly, Barack Obama – as we’ve talked about, week upon week, Alex – has advanced himself, in the furtherance of the Islamic supremacists’ program, and to the great detriment of American interests and freedom, and Western civilization more generally.”

And this should tell you all you should want to know about Keith Ellison.  The American people just voted out Obama and Hillary’s policies which were embedded with the Muslim Brotherhood.  If the Democrats have enough sense to rebuke this Farrakhan-loving Muslim Brotherhood Ellison person – our country will only be one step closer to keeping them in tow.  Ellison is just double trouble for America.  The Democrats are leaning far, far left with one foot and then the other foot is in the Muslim Brotherhood pig pen.
