Democratic congressman Keith Ellison is the front-runner for the position of chair of the DNC.

But he has a history of making unsavory comments.

This is just the latest one to be revealed, where he says, “black people don’t have an obligation to obey the government” because they “don’t live under a democracy.”

From Daily Caller:

Ellison made the comments at a 1992 protest after white police officers were acquitted in the beating of Rodney King. At least 63 people died in the racially charged riots following the verdict.

Minnesota newspaper the Star Tribune quotes Ellison as telling a group of protesters in Minneapolis that “Black people do not live under a democracy.”

“You don’t have an obligation to obey a government that considers you to be less than human,” Ellison said.

Here’s some of Ellison’s long list.

Ellison, the nation’s first Muslim congressman, has come under fire for his history of making racially inflammatory comments, as well as his past association with notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, whom Ellison has since renounced.

Ellison once called for American blacks to have their own nation and called the U.S. Constitution “best evidence of a white racist conspiracy to subjugate other peoples.”

Ellison also compared 9/11 to the Reichstag Fire, suggesting that George W. Bush administration had something to do with it.

He also has issues with Jews beyond his time with Farrakhan.

While speaking at a 2010 fundraiser in front of a mostly Muslim audience, Ellison claimed that American Jews have been “mobilized” by Israel to “do its bidding in America.”

Ellison was the subject of a House Ethics Committee investigation in 2009 after failing to disclose that an American Muslim organization with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood had paid $13,500 for him to take a pilgrimage to Mecca in 2008.

He has now also called for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, saying he believes there are enough ‘crimes’ to pursue it.

Delusional.

Looks like between Ellison and House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats have a good lock on the not-all-there vote.

This is the leadership of the Democratic Party…
