(Daily Caller) Freshman Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar posted a photo to Twitter on Tuesday praising her predecessor, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, despite the allegations of domestic violence against him.
She tweeted that Ellison “left me big shoes to fill as a fearless progressive and the first Muslim in Congress. MN is lucky to have an Attorney General who will defend civil and voting rights, and protect consumers from predatory corporations.”
Ellison’s ex-girlfriend Karen Monahan accused him of domestic violence and alleged that there was a video proving it. She said that she would not release the video, though, explaining that she was exposed in it.
