Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) launched an online petition addressed to Senator Charles E. Schumer today, calling on him to rescind his support for Congressman Keith Ellison to be the next Chair of the Democratic National Committee.

“Keith Ellison has disqualified himself from becoming the next chair of the DNC,” said Hikind. “Ellison is the most polarizing choice. Not only are his views radical, but they are divisive. Whether his embracing of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan or his support of the one-sided Goldstone Report, Ellison is clearly not the leader anyone should embrace.”

Ellison has a long history of being a controversial figure. Conveniently after getting elected to Congress in 2006, he then apologized for his involvement in the Nation of Islam. “Why was his apology only issued after getting elected?” asked Hikind. “Ellison’s record clearly reflects he is no friend and is certainly dangerous to the State of Israel. In 2014, he voted against funding for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system. In 2010, at a fundraiser, he said that American foreign policy is governed by Israeli interests. Is this the future leader of the Democratic Party?”

“Senator Schumer, are there no mainstream candidates to lead us?” asked Hikind. “Instead of bringing Democrats together, Ellison will further divide the Party. Senator Schumer, pull the plug on your support for Ellison. He will be a disaster for the Democratic Party,” said Hikind.

Below is a copy of the petition at change.org:

 

Senator Schumer: We urge you to withdraw your support for Keith Ellison to be the next Chair of the Democratic National Committee. 

Keith Ellison is a most polarizing choice. Not only are his views radical, but they are divisive. Whether his embracing of Louis Farrakhan or his support of the one-sided Goldstone Report, he is not the right choice.

o  Ellison voted against funding for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system in 2014.

o  In December 2010, Ellison said that American foreign policy is governed by Israeli interests.

o  His antipathy towards Israel and Jews is crystal clear.

Senator Schumer, pull the plug on your support for Ellison. He will be a disaster for the Democratic Party.

  1. Any Jew who votes democrat is a traitor to himself and his values (assuming he has real Jewish values, not reform, conservative, open orthodox, etc.). The Democrats make it loud and clear they have built their platform on immorality, deceit, and a total disregard for G-d and His values.
