Despite being the DNC's top fundraiser which ordinarily would bestow the chairmanship on a candidate, Ellison was relegated to the back of bus as Deputy Chair, a position created especially for him.  He was given this role in February of 2017 by a vote of the full Committee after losing the election for Chair to [[Thomas Perez]], who has been accused of vote rigging delegates for the nomination of Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Ellison traveled with House Speaker [[Nancy Pelosi]] to [[Damascus]] to visit [[Syria]]n [[dictator]] [[Bashar al-Assad]] in 2007. The visit occurred despite protests from the [[US State Department]] and Bush [[White House]] for fear of delivering mixed signals to the Assad regime. ''[[USA Today]]'' headlined a story declaring the Democrat delegation brought "a message of peace for Assad".<ref>http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/world/2007-04-04-pelosi-syria_N.htm </ref> In 2011, the Democrat regime of [[Barack Obama]], and [[Secretary of State]] [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] announced, "Assad must go", unleashing the Syrian Civil War which has claimed 300,000 lives.

Bashar al-Assad remains firmly in power, now supported by [[Russia]]n troops in Syria.
