(PolitiFact) A Facebook post shows a disturbing image of a badly bruised woman and claims her injuries were sustained by her boyfriend, former Democratic congressman Keith Ellison, who now serves as Minnesota’s attorney general.
The post displays a split image of Ellison on the left and, on the right, a photo of a woman with a swollen cheek and a bruised eye.
Text above and below the image says:
“Keith Ellison the candidate for Minnesota attorney general and deputy chair of the democratic national committee did this to his girlfriend. But the Democrats don’t want to talk about this.”
The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.
