From the moment Minnesota Fifth District (Mineapolis) Rep. Keith
Ellison first arrived on the scene from Detroit and started making a
name for himself as a law student at the University of Minnesota, he
was a mouthpiece for the Nation of Islam and its revolting ideology.
Over the imprecations of his Jewish classmates, for example, Ellison
helped bring raving anti-Semitic Nation of Islam speaker Kwame Toure
to the the University of Minnesota Law School itself in February
1990.
As a public figure in private practice Ellison befriended the gang
leader whose minions committed the most notorious cop killing in
Minnesota history. Ellison's contributions included leading a mob
chanting "we don't get no justice, you don't get no peace" outside the
courthouse in support of one of the defendants subsequently convicted
of the murder of the police officer. Ellison made himself a low-rent
Louis Farrakhan (if that's possible), even going through a phase
during which he appeared in public with the trademark Farrakhan bow
tie in the mid-1990's. There was nothing original about his act.
