Rep. Keith Ellison Responds to Michele Bachmann’s Terrorist Accusations With New Report
Three weeks after Michele Bachmann released a 16-page-letter warning that the Muslim Brotherhood had infiltrated the U.S. government—and that it had ties to her fellow Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison—the Democratic congressman responded with a new report on the role of religion in politics.
“12 Rules for Mixing Religion and Politics,” authored by the progressive People for the American Way Foundation, or PFAW, and promoted by Ellison at an event Thursday night, decried Bachmann’s brand of political discourse.
Calling attention to the “significant movement to demonize American Muslims” in the U.S. today, the report criticized the “divisive rhetoric” it said was undermining the country’s potential.
