Ellison is not just a member of Congress, he is the Democrat National Committee CO-CHAIR. He's been accused of domestic violence where the woman has documented statements from medical doctors, family members, therapists and 911 calls demonstrating abuse. Where is the outrage? Where is Dianne Feinstein calling for him to step down? Where are the protests from women's rights groups?

Contrast that with the Kavanaugh accusation, which has zero corroboration, no supporting statements and no similar pattern of behavior. We have a clearly partisan accuser coming forward with a shady claim from 36 years ago that is completely unverifiable.

If you don't think the media a) shapes public perception and b) has a clear leftist agenda, you are living under a rock.

You know the left and media will claim Ellison is elected and will be held accountable by his constituents on the hand Kavanaugh is seeking a lifetime appointment.

Fair point. Domestic violence is a serious topic.

However, comparing a potential SC justice with no term limit vs a congressman that can be voted out every couple years...

C'mon, man. One thing at a time. Once they're done protesting Bill Clinton, they'll have time to move on to Ellison.

I mean it's pretty obvious the msm is made up of a bunch political operatives/activists. This is just one of many examples. It's why trust in them is at an all time low. They are trash.

It’s a war. The media and fringe leftists are the “clear and present danger”.

It’s so blantantly obvious.
The logical majority in this country sees that and will make their voices heard.

No blue wave folks.

Keith Ellison situation is different because it’s perfectly acceptable to slug your ol lady in black culcha.

You left out the part where the allegations are from almost 40 years ago when the person was in high school, and don't involve a actual crime like rape or battery.

Meanwhile Ellison did commit a crime and it was recent.
