While high-ranking Democrats have spoken out over last-minute allegations against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, they have remained silent with regard to domestic-abuse claims against their colleague, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.).
Ellison, who is running for attorney general of Minnesota and serves as the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), has been accused of physical and verbal abuse by ex-girlfriend Karen Monahan, an organizer for an environmental organization.
