When Christians are under attack, Keith Ellison looks the other way
How would Ellison — a Muslim — respond if so-called protesters were intimidating law-abiding Muslims who were worshipping at a mosque?

Aside from his pledge to undo the generational damage done to the economy by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Donald Trump earned the support of the American electorate by promising to address the fact that — thanks to Democratic Party policy — the American border had become more porous than a wafer-thin slice of Swiss cheese, sparking housing crises, crime waves, and an all-out assault on the notion that sovereignty even exists in the Western world.
Unlike countless politicians that came before him, Donald Trump has actually delivered on the border, proving that this was an entirely voluntary scandal of Joe Biden and his handlers’ making. But when it comes to illegal immigration, there are so many more important battlefields beyond closure of the border, with deportations — by force, if necessary — a crucial part of Trump’s duty to keep Americans safe.
And the idea of arresting — let alone deporting — illegal immigrants, including rapists, murderers, human traffickers, drug dealers, and other “bad hombres”? Woke Democrats just can’t handle it, stirring up a monsoon of insane propaganda that includes likening Trump to Adolf Hitler, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as the Gestapo.
Because, after all, there is no difference between a sovereign nation arresting non-citizens who are in the country illegally and sending them back to their country of origin free-of-charge and stripping citizens of their citizenship based on whether or not they are Jewish, carting them off to Poland and gassing them in their millions…
And one demonstration of this, frankly, insane anti-ICE propaganda came courtesy of a hoard of lunatics — flanked by Don Lemon — who decided that the best way to express their dissatisfaction with federal immigration policy (and mourn the tragic and yet entirely justified shooting of ICE protester Renee Good in Minneapolis after she obstructed federal law enforcement and then drove her SUV into an officer) was to storm the Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, and chanting “justice for Renee Good.”
Yes, because the civilian Christian worshippers in a church are unquestionably to blame for the actions of Renee Good, ICE officers in Minneapolis, and the immigration policy of the Trump administration.
But this goes beyond the latest example of rabid Leftists using mob tactics to intimidate others into compliance — with Chauntyll Allen, a Black Lives Matter leader, justifying the decision to terrorize random Christians by claiming that ICE was “terrorizing our women and our children” — and cuts to the heart of the anti-Judeo-Christian sentiment of the radical Left.
Consider Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who denied that the storming of a Church violated federal law, specifically the FACE Act and the Ku Klux Klan Act, both of which make the denial of civil rights — including the First Amendment right of religious freedom — through interference and intimidation a federal crime.
“How they are stretching either of these laws to apply to people who protested in a church over the behavior of a religious leader is beyond me,” Ellison told Don Lemon.
Now, how would Ellison — a Muslim — respond if so-called protesters were intimidating law-abiding Muslims who were worshipping at a mosque? Well, as the Washington Free Beacon pointed out, that’s different, with Ellison pushing as a Congressman in 2015 and as attorney General in 2020 to leverage the FACE Act to target various protests outside mosques in Arizona and Minnesota.
What changed, you may ask? Well, it’s simple. For radical Islam, and its bizarre partnership with radical Leftism, our rules are only respected insofar as they aid the pursuit of radical Islam and/or radical Leftism. When they get in the way, then it’s the job of Ellison and his ilk to wriggle free. So, when Christians — the world’s most persecuted religious group, lest we forget — or Jews — the most disproportionately targeted religious group in the nation, if not the world — are the targets, Ellison will flip like a shameless dime.
And, of course, we’re called Islamophobic for daring to notice.
