‘You’ve Just Gotta Live With It’: Minnesota AG Ellison Shrugs Off Church Ambush
Shorter Ellison to Christians: Deal with it.
Once again, I’m going to bite my tongue because I have respect for Professor Jacobson.
But my goodness, I want to go off on Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison.
As we all know, Don Lemon and an anti-ICE mob ambushed a church in Minneapolis.
Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon suggested Don Lemon and the anti-ICE mob could face charges under the KKK Act.
Ellison? Well, he had a message for Christians: Deal with it.
To make it better, Ellison said this on Lemon’s podcast. Thank you, Teri Christoph, for transcribing:
The protest is fundamental to American society. This country started in a protest. It’s freedom of expression. People have a right to lift up their voices and make their peace. And none of us are immune from the voice of the public. So I, quite honestly, I think that you’ve got the First Amendment freedom of religion and First Amendment freedom of expression – and I think it’s just something you’ve just gotta live with in a society.

Excuse me!? EXCUSE ME!?
The First Amendment has nothing to do with. Professor Jonathan Turley explained the situation in a much more eloquent way than I would:
He is wrong. Protesting outside of the church is a First Amendment activity. Disrupting church services and abusing congregants inside the church is conduct, not speech.

Ellison then went on Lemon’s show and insisted that there is no federal crime here. He specifically stated that the FACE Act cannot be used in the case because it only deals with abortion rights: “the FACE Act, by the way, is designed to protect the rights of people seeking reproductive rights… so that people for a religious reason cannot just use religion to break into women’s reproductive health centers.”
While it is undoubtedly true that the FACE Act is best known as a bar on protesters targeting abortion clinics, it expressly extends to targeting churches, making it a federal crime to “prohibits the use or threat of force and physical obstruction that injures, intimidates, or interferes with a person seeking to … exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship.” Other laws protect against the denial of civil rights.
The FACE Act LITRALLY says in § 248(a)(2) that a person violates the act if they:
by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship;
You do not, under any circumstances, have the right to violate anyone’s rights protected by the Constitution.
I hate that they keep citing the First Amendment. Um, the First Amendment also protects those people in church.
These are the rules, then? Alrighty then. Christians have the right to storm and ambush mosques, specifically the one Ellison attends.
Thems the rules!
Then again, this is the man who defended Louis Farrakhan, embraced Antifa, and, not to mention, the relationships with anti-Israel groups.
Ellison also hasn’t done anything about the Somali fraud in Minnesota. There’s the tape of him meeting with those who ended up convicted of fraud.

Comments
He’d be screeching his lungs out if it was his mosque that was invaded.
He’s the consummate a-hole.
He’s a first class twat.
“Don’t you dare gore my ox!”
Ellison
(He actually did.)
Ellison refuses to mention the supremacy clause.
.
The supremacy clause isn’t relevant to this case, let alone to his bizarre take on it. On the contrary, in this instance he is championing the supremacy clause, in particular the first amendment, which he falsely claims protects this protest. It’s precisely because he correctly understands that is the supreme law of the land, that he incorrectly imagines it overrides all the laws that these people violated. It would, if it applied; but it doesn’t, so it doesn’t.
“Ellison? Well, he had a message for Christians: Deal with it.”
We are, Keith. Stay close to your phone, If the caller ID starts with 202, I suggest you answer it promptly.
Do that in a black church
I dare you
Double dare you
Do that in a mosque.
I dare you.
I double dog dare you.
Do that in my local watering hole while better people than I are in church.
No need to dare with dogs, as the barmaid will just treat you like one of Kristi Noem’s.
Black Lives Matter has officially morphed into Bad Guys Matter.
Mighty Morphin’ Power Brokers.
The only reason fury hit churches and likely, soon, synagogues, is because muslims won’t think twice about fighting back hard. Same with Sikhs, Hindus (Hindae?) and Buddhists. .
Infidel! Dogs are haram! Double dogs are double haram!
Same here! They might sing and clap him to death.
Compare and contrast with the shooting at the Mother Emmanuel Church in Charleston, SC where Dylann Roof opened fire.
Eff you, negroes…I’m still seeing your content of character.
Just like the Doctor ordered!
;-{)}}}
I am afraid you are correct. There are plenty of sacrificial lambs available for the “progressive” slaughter.
It’s your fault that you’re offended by what Ellison has to say. After all, whatever springs forth from the mind of a muslim is nothing but truth and light, amiright or amiright?
The filth that spews from this wrenched man’s orifice is disgustingly and completely unacceptable. The civil rights of those parishioners were clearly violated and anyone that trespassed into the church should get the same treatment as the J6 defendants.
Islam is evil and incompatible with a constitutional republic.
Nah! deport the bunch of them yesterday to a very nice country in Africa: Somalia.
I’m sure they’ll be welcomed with open arms – or pots of boiling water.
Islam is nothing more than account that was settled long ago when Man figured out his understanding could be twisted into His understanding.
Man corrupts everything, children obey.
We all know that if a mosque had been attacked and its worshipers terrorized, this despicable, bigoted, Islamofascist/Muslim supremacist/hustler piece of excrement, Keith “Hakim” Ellison, would be singing a totally different tune.
Such a wicked and evil man.
He actually tried to prosecute some folks under the FACE act when they protested outside a mosque.
How bout walking into his living room with a bullhorn? Same thing, right? First Amendment?
Last week I was halfway joking about putting the State of MN into a Federal occupation and ‘reconstruction’ for a decade or so…..in the aftermath of the invasion of a place of worship to purposefully disrupt religious services and deprive Citizens of their right to worship …it really might be necessary if the callous and ill informed response of the MN AG doesn’t immediately set in motion his removal by the State Legislature.
Does Keith mean that Islamists need to “deal with” Charlie Hebdo?
Asking for a friend.
We all saw how Muslims “dealt with” Charlie Hebdo. That is how they deal with everything they dislike. It’s how they roll. The sooner the west wakes up to this reality the better.
“If you criticize me as violent, I will keel you!”
Muslim AG Keith Ellison told Christians, “Deal with it.”
The act of forcibly entering a place of worship and disrupting the worship service is extremely troubling and will have profound effects on the attendees, particularly the children.
Reports of terrified children highlight the psychological trauma that results from such vicious confrontations.
No doubt this will leave lasting emotional scars and anxiety about attending religious services in the future for those involved.
But Muslim Ellison says. “Tough shite!”
If Christians “deal with it” Ellison will demand
persecutionprosecution of those those doing the dealingSome people are wired to “live with it.”
to Keith,…regarding ICE ,..”deal with it
‘
He’ll say the same thing when churches and cities are burning
He already did.
Walz and Frey, too. The same three who burned Minneapolis down the first time (in their pushing of a lie and railroading an innocent man) are back at it, again – with the support of many Minnesotans and a few Somalis (who are now experts at ballot stuffing, though America makes it easy enough that even people with IQs of 68 can do it).
Way back sometime last century, the 80″s? Earlier maybe?
Islamist’s targeted blacks in prisons to join them. Apparently it worked really well.
Also keith ellison “there’s plenty of money, it’s just that the government doesn’t have it”.
Somehow he didn’t bother to add “YET”.
Ellison is as ignorant of law as he is of history.
The Marxist-Islamist-Satanist-KKK-Insane People alliance is entertaining in a sick way. Like a nest of maggots. Fascinating!
Color revolutions are asymmetrical warfare, and asymmetrical warfare cannot be dealt with using conventional approaches. The action on their part has been manufactured as based in equality – we are oppressed and therefore tailor our action to elicit the response on your part we can then claim is unethical/inhuman. It seems that those resourcing the “revolution” are always insulated and regardless of the outcome, just go on to their next story line. I do believe that this will be as Keith Ellison chides, “deal with it,” that it will be.
Face the FACE, got to face the FACE
You must have heard the cautionary tales
The dangers hidden on the cul-de-sac trails
From wiser folk who’ve been through it all
And the faded name sprayed up on the wall
Ellison, Christian hater and pro Muslim Democrat Attorney General says ‘deal with it’. He and the other two Democrats, Frey and Walz, make up the new Dixiecrat party, mid western branch.
Everyone is skipping over the most egregious crime here – Lemon and his co-conspirators carried out their crime in order to intimidate the pastor (and congregation) into not working for ICE and not supporting legitimate enforcement of federal law. That is insurrection and they are all guilty of SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY. They are committing crime to impede the enforcement of federal law (and giving aid and comfort to invading illegals, to boot).
That part of this crime is far worse than the FACE Act violation, which is also a real crime (not like the insane BS railroading using the FACE Act that the treasonous Biden junta did).
So the AG thinks anyone can come in ad wreck your religious service
Yes, your religious service, my religious service, but not his religious service.
Congratulations Minnesota. You’r.e officially a bunch of limp wristed simps. You’ve repeated reelected this stain on society.
but you cant try and save babies 20 ft from an abortion clinic
Where did this schlemiel go to law school?
I live in the Heart of Dixie and what his friends did in that church has been a violation of local and/or state law since the 1960’s. The purpose was to keep the KKK from attacking black churches because all the organizing for the civil rights protests was held in black churches. Unfortunately, the Klan had the same disregard for the law that Don, Keith and their fellow Marxists had when they disrupted the worship service in St. Paul. Anybody remember Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church? I do. I lived close enough to hear the bomb and feel the blast wave. The people responsible for the murder of four young girls faced justice and died in prison.
Ellison has never read either the first amendment or the FACE Act, and has no idea what either of them says.
This is all quite true. But none of it applies on someone else’s property. When you are on someone else’s property you may not say anything the owner forbids you to say, you may not worship in any way he tells you not to, you may not assemble, even in the most peaceful manner, without his permission, and you may not petition the government if he doesn’t like it.
Does Ellison imagine that a Catholic priest is entitled to go into a Protestant church, or into a synagogue or mosque, and celebrate mass there?! Can President Trump barge into Ellison’s home and hold a rally there?! Or a fundraising event?! Or even just wear a MAGA hat, if Ellison tells him not to?!
I disagree, Milhouse. He knows exactly what they say and mean.
He actually opposes them in order to advance the Progressive agenda and gain more power for Progressives.
Whether or not he believes in the utopia they claim (when everyone bows to their god), he is working toward a tyranny 100 times worse than the one we threw off in 1776, or the ones we conquered in 1945, 1989, 2001, or 2003.
Also, as I mentioned up-thread, Ellison absolutely does not believe anyone else could protest at a mosque. He tried several years ago to prosecute some folks protesting outside a mosque. Under the FACE act.
Nope they can protest outside on sidewalk, not inside. Trespass them, zip tie them and spend the night in jail.
Public place of worship, they can be ask to leave. If they don’t it is trespassing. Civil suit can follow since the intent was to harassment. I say sue MSNBC for $100 M.
If the state and local government can be linked, even loosely, it is a 1st Amend. civil rights violation.
I hope the DOJ and FBI probe deep all the way to the bottom. If they can find any communication on this that can be deemed conspiracy, it should be prosecuted and published to the max.
Ellison is wrong. This nation did not start on a protest.
That little “action” that started out in Boston on 19 April 1775 was an armed military action to protect gunpowder and shot ownd by the local colonials and which General Gage had determined to seize, and thus to disarm the Patriots. It was Gage’s 4th such illegal action. His men, without provocation, engaged by discharging their weapons, killing 8 o the men o Lexington.
Gage’s troops continued on to Concord where they again, unprovoked, discharged their weapons, killing one and wounding two more. That time, the Patriots responded more appropriately by discharging their own, taking out a third o the ophicers and a quqarter o the regulars. ,
Such action is very much NOT a “protest”.
but whaddya speck out o a whackjob like Ellison.
I struggle to find an appropriate reaction to this act. All I can come up with is for a group of “farmers” to loose a horde of pigs inside Ellison’s mosque, but that would be wrong, wouldn’t it?
