It’s On: The Epic Tapper-Ellison Battle Over Farrakhan

Ed Morrisey  "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Five minutes of talking-head gold, as this confrontation between CNN’s Jake Tapper and Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) demonstrates. Tapper has spent the last several months demanding more accountability from members of Congress who have or had relationships with notorious bigot and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam. Ellison at one point belonged to NoI, but has insisted lately that he’s never had a relationship or taken a meeting with Farrakhan.

"When Ellison starts talking about the bigotry inherent in the so-called “Muslim ban” executive order upheld by the Supreme Court earlier today, Tapper asks Ellison to explain his own brushes with bigotry and anti-Semitism. That’s when the fur flies and the fun begins:" . . .

. . . "Ellison’s been evasive and deceptive on this for a very long time. Check out the archives of our friends at Power Line for chapter and verse on Ellison’s radicalism and his embrace of Farrakhan until it became inconvenient. Tapper was right to call him out and force him to confront the question, especially as he poses as an opponent of bigotry.

"Why stop at Farrakhan? The Free Beacon’s Brent Scher suggests that if Ellison keeps denying he met with the Nation of Islam leader, Tapper can ask Ellison instead about this meeting from 2008:

Why doesn't anybody ever grill him on why he let the Muslim Brotherhood pay for his trip to Saudi Arabia? And why he met with radicals like Sheikh Abdallah Bin Bayyah on the trip?http://freebeacon.com/issues/keith-ellisons-saudi-arabia-trip-included-meetings-radical-cleric-bank-funds-suicide-bombings/ …

"Leader of Jewish community threatens legal action against *Kaveh Kholardi, who says remark at Oslo concert was 'taken out of context' "

"A Norwegian rapper hired by the City of Oslo to sing at an event intended to celebrate diversity cursed “the f***ing Jews” during his performance.

"In response to the profane statement Friday by Kaveh Kholardi, the leader of the country’s Jewish community has threatened to take legal action against the 23-year-old performer.

"Kholardi wished Muslims “Eid Mubarak,” a greeting in Arabic for the Eid al-Fitr holiday that on Friday marked the end of Ramadan, Dagen reported. He went on to ask if there were Christians present, smiling upon hearing cheers. Then he asked if there were any Jews, adding “f***ing Jews… Just kidding.”

"Christine Thune, a spokeswoman for the Oslo municipality, told the Verdens Gang daily that the organizers had complained to Kholardi. Anne Christine Kroepelin said the whole “point of the event was diversity and inclusion,” and that Kholardi’s apparent expression of anti-Semitism was “exactly the opposite of what the organizers wanted to promote.”

"On June 10, five days before the concert, Kholardi wrote on Twitter: “f***ing Jews are so corrupt.”

"On Facebook, Kholardi wrote following criticism by the Jewish leader, Ervin Kohn, that he is “neither a racist nor anti-Semite,” and that the reference to Jews during the concert was taken out of context” and was only a joke.

"Kohn demanded an apology from Kholardi, threatening a complaint to police for incitement to hate if Kholardi does not comply with the request.

"Kholardi’s Facebook account has become inaccessible following the incident.

Ex-CIA Chief John Brennan Invokes Watergate – Calls on Republican ‘Heroes’ to Force Trump Out of Office

Gateway Pundit  "Former CIA Director-turned-Twitter-troll John Brennan fired off another ominous tweet to President Trump Tuesday.

"John Brennan predicted the outcome of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe would end up like the Watergate investigation–with an impeachment and or resignation and called on Republican “heroes” to circle the wagons.

Brennan: the man who referred to Jerusalem as "al Quds"

"John Brennan was heavily involved in promoting Hillary’s phony dossier and wants President Trump removed from office.

"The ex-CIA chief invoked Watergate and called on Republicans to circle the wagons and force Trump to resign after Mueller is finished with his investigation.

"Brennan tweeted: When the Special Counsel’s work is done, the Republican Party must have its modern-day equivalents of Watergate heroes—Howard Baker, Elliot Richardson, Bill Ruckleshaus, John Dean—who will put country, fellow citizens, & the law above any one person, including @realDonaldTrump." . . .

Washington Times  "Jim Acosta got a bit of the Sarah Huckabee Sanders treatment Monday.
"At President Trump’s planned rally in South Carolina, members of the crowd began chanting “Go home, Jim” to the famously combative CNN correspondent.
"According to other videos posted by reporters at the West Columbia arena, chants of “CNN sucks” could also be heard, mimicking a chant in which Mr. Trump orchestrated the crowd at a rally in Minnesota last week.
"One woman, identified as Maria Rojas, began berating Mr. Acosta personally as he stood in the reporters’ section.
"The rally was scheduled to start at 7 p.m."

Put a sign on the door and let us know before we come in

Silvio Canto, Jr.: "We've been following the story about the Red Hen Restaurant versus White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

"As you know, Sarah and her family were told to leave the restaurant.  It's just the latest example of the left pushing politics in your face, from sports highlights to now having a family dinner.

"What else do you need to understand about Trump Derangement Syndrome?  My guess is that Dr. Krauthammer must be running a panel up in Heaven telling everyone that the left down here is beyond repair.

"Now someone is running this headline: "Restaurants Could Get in Serious Legal Trouble if They Discriminate Against Trump Admin."

"The article explains that it may seen as "discrimination" in some jurisdictions in the country.

"Frankly, keep the courts out of this, and let Trump voters do their thing.  

"Here is a memo to business owners looking do a Red Hen: If you do not want to do business with the 62 million of us who voted for Trump, then let us know.  Put a sign on the door, and we will be delighted to take our money to someone else.  

"By late Saturday, the Red Hen's website was down, the reservations phone line disabled, and the voicemail full.  We can be sure that it'll be a while before manager and co-owner Stephanie Wilkinson tries that again.

"It's stupid to play politics with customers.  At the same time, we can play that game, too. "  

It is, after all, in the Democrat DNA:

WATCH: Laura Loomer Confronts Maxine Waters

Big League Politics

"I confronted Rep. Maxine Waters of California regarding her call for Trump administration officials to be harassed in their everyday lives. Does Maxine Waters think this kind of targeted harassment is civil? Does Maxine Waters stand behind her comments, or was it just agitprop for her Resistance friends?

"Many Democrats are disavowing Rep. Maxine Waters for her comments earlier, encouraging people to harass Trump administration officials and Trump supporters in the streets.

"But not all Democrat lawmakers are taking the [same] path and distancing themselves from Waters.

“ 'So yes, if I saw an administrator in, um, out and about, there’s nothing wrong with confronting that person,” said Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) at the very end of a rant on MSNBC…"  Hat tip to John Bledsoe at Moretti Underground

Scott Adams On Why Republicans Have To Vote This November: “They’re Coming For You Next” (VIDEO)

terrellaftermath

American Lookout  "Dilbert creator Scott Adams recently made a very important point about the midterms. Trump supporters, conservatives, Republicans, etc. absolutely must vote in the midterms because the left is completely out of control. Today they are attacking public figures with mobs. Tomorrow it could be you.

"Breitbart reports:

Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams does not vote. But for the first time, he said Sunday, he is thinking about it — thanks to the effort by opponents of Donald Trump to ostracize people who support the president.Adams, who predicted Trump would win the 2016 election en route to becoming an influential political writer, was reacting on his daily Periscope broadcast to “conservative” Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin, who defended a Virginia restaurant owner who ejected White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Friday.

“This doesn’t end well,” Adams said, calling her position “anti-free speech,” in the sense that people would no longer feel free to disagree with one another. “If citizens can do what government used to be able to do, which is censor … Free speech is no longer practical. It’s still legal, but no longer practical.”…

“And I’m feeling like the best reason for Republicans to vote is they’re coming for you next. And they’re not hiding it. They’re coming for Trump right now, but they’re making it pretty clear they’re coming for Trump supporters next,” he said."
