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.

Here is just an example of the depth of reporting the media has done on the Ellison allegations:

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...

Not a leftist, but it's true.

He is the DNC co-chair. He is so much more than a Congressman. He shapes the very platform for the Democratic Party.

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

Obviously Kavanaugh isn't getting a fair shake here, but comparing a congressman to a SC Justice is laughable in terms of importance.

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.

I would recommend avoiding any interaction with someone from Ville Platte if at all possible.
