Karen Monahan is motivated by jealousy and Republicanism to demonize Keith Ellison [View all]

Karen Monahan dated Keith Ellison for three years. She claims that in 2016, Keith Ellison tried to pull her out of bed so she'd move out. He denies that.

Maybe he did it. Maybe he didn't.

Either way, Monahan is spinning her accusation to ruin his career. She's motivated by jealousy and by having recently become a Republican.

Monahan is Jealous

In January 2017, about two months after Monahan had moved out, she visited Ellison and "left a handwritten journal at his house that insulted one of the women he had started dating, calling her 'old.'”

On December 31, 2017, Monahan wrote an angry letter to Keith Ellison's current girlfriend accusing her of stealing him. In March 2018, she sent Ellison texts by her friends implying his current girlfriend is old and ugly.

Monahan became a Republican

On October 1, 2018, Karen Monahan announced that she had hired MN lawyer Andrew Parker. Parker hosts a right-wing radio show for an hour per week. On his show, he praises Donald Trump and tells people to send money to Doug Wardlow. Wardlow (R) is Ellison's opponent in the MN AG race.

On October 5, 2018, Monahan tweeted, "I didn't #WalkAwayFromDemocrats, they #WalkedAway from me, my son, my family and so many others across the country." The WalkAway movement is Republican messaging that Democrats should become Republicans.

Conclusion

I'm a progressive, and I'm voting for Keith Ellison (D) for Minnesota Attorney General. He is pro-choice, pro-worker, and pro-environment. His opponent, Doug Wardlow (R), is the opposite on all those issues.
