Keith Ellison, born August 4, 1963 (age 60), is a far-left Democrat and the first Muslim to serve in the United States Congress. He represents the 5th Congressional District of Minnesota which is comprised heavily of Somali refugees. Born in Detroit, Michigan, he converted from Catholicism to Islam while in college. Ellison is quite controversial due to his past ties with the radical black supremacist group the Nation of Islam; he has also been accused of having had involvement in anti-Semitism.[1] In 2007, Mr. Ellison compared the Bush Administration to Nazi Germany.[2] Ellison has also claimed the Bush Administration staged 9/11.[3] Ellison supports the homosexual agenda.

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 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.

It is traditional for newly-sworn members of the House of Representatives to repeat their oaths with their hand on a Bible for photographers.[4] When Ellison was ceremonially "sworn-in," he used a Koran that once belonged to Thomas Jefferson.[5]

Ellison went to an Islamic hajj pilgrimage to Mecca in the winter of 2008, becoming the first U.S. congressman to make the pilgrimage. After claiming he paid for the trip, it was determined to be paid for by a U.S. group tied to Islamic extremists, the Muslim American Society of Minnesota.[6] A group founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, which Ellison claims not to know anything about.[7]
