Records from a 2005 911 call reveal that Rep. Keith Ellison allegedly abused yet another woman, though the story has been swept under the rug by Minnesota’s media.
In early August, Ellison, who vacated his safe seat in Congress to run for Minnesota’s attorney general, faced new accusations from his ex-girlfriend Karen Monahan that the former congressman forcibly dragged her off a bed while shouting obscenities. Monahan claims there is video of the incident, but has yet to release any evidence.
A similar story dating back to 2005 started to resurface on social media after Monahan came forward, though this time there was hard evidence. Police records reveal that an “Ellison/Keith/BM/41” was reported in 2005 for assaulting a woman. Ellison was born in 1963, which would mean he was 41 in 2005.
The woman who allegedly made the call, Amy Alexander, later related her experiences with Ellison in a 2006 article for The Wright County Republican, whose publisher told The Conservative Tribune that none of the local newspapers wanted to interview her.
“In May, Keith wanted to try and quiet me so he came to my home uninvited. We had words. His anger kicked in. He berated me. He grabbed me and pushed me out of the way. I was terrified. I called the police,” she wrote, saying she has “never been so scared.”
Alexander, who met Ellison through her work with the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party, goes on to apologize for becoming romantically involved with the congressman, who was married at the time.
When Alexander attempted to “stand up to” Ellison, he began a “smear campaign” against her by publicly speaking about her “post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and panic attacks.”
“Ellison is a man on a quest for power and national prominence; a man with deep ties to some pretty scary people. I feared for my life and for the safety of my daughter,” Alexander continues, noting that Ellison’s people had “preemptively distributed information to the press suggesting” that she was “insane.”
Ellison eventually filed a restraining order against Alexander in an attempt to “ban [her] from public places” and “prohibit” her from “the Urban League and the State Office Building.” Alexander responded by filing a harassment restraining order of her own, but it was denied.
“No one gains anything in the battle for dignity and respect by passively endorsing abuse,” her 2005 article concludes. “Not now. Not ever.”

There’s one way to stop him, and only one. Don’t vote him in. Period. And I am a Democrat.
I am ashamed to say I’m from MN, when creeps like this make it into a government position. Just because he is a Dem does not give him a free ride when it comes to sexual, physical abuse. Make hiim accountable for his abusive actions NOW!
He’s another piece of trash. When will he be called in front of the senate??
POST THE POLICE REPORT ON FACEBOOK, THEN EVERYONE WILL HAVE THE FACTS THEY NEED ABOUT HIS MAN, THAT THINKS HE SHOULD BE THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MINNESOTA!!
#WALKAWAY from the Democrats. WalkAwayMarch.com
I like Todd’s idea. Post the police report on a billboard, every public supermarket bulletin board, placards on buses & taxis, bus stops, train stations, etc.
Sabo, unsavoryagents.com, is great for these things.
Someone ought to make a highway billboard with this police report 🤔
Yes! Have to have a way to expose this creep!
No surprise here. Ellison is a lying liberal muslim!
So where’s the gals/feminists of the #metoo movement? Oh that’s right, liberals have immunity.
Yes, it is reprehensible that Democrat men dont face the same degree of public humiliation and accusation as do Republicans.
