Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a prominent figure on the radical left, has sparked outrage after a video clip surfaced showing him openly boasting about a Democrat strategy to mobilize a massive new bloc of voters — specifically targeting individuals who were not naturalized citizens in the last election cycle.
In footage shared by the Republican National Committee's (RNC) research account, Ellison addressed a Monday campaign event for progressive Senate candidate and current Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan. His comments were not merely a slip of the tongue; they appeared to be a stunning admission of the Democrat playbook: to rapidly expand the electorate with newly eligible voters, including recent naturalizations, to secure victories.
Ellison's remarks laid bare the Democrats' desperation: "There’s a whole lot of people who were not 18 years old in the last election. There’s a whole lot of people who were not naturalized citizens in the last election. There's a whole lot of people who sat it out because of whatever reason in the last election," Ellison declared. Then came the chilling promise: "But you know what? We gonna get them all this election."
The RNC Research account rightfully posed the critical question that many Americans are asking: "Did Minnesota AG Keith Ellison just admit that Democrats are giving people citizenship for votes?" It's a question that cuts to the heart of election integrity and the fundamental principle of who participates in our republic.
Disturbingly, this isn't an isolated incident. Ellison made nearly identical statements in an interview with Katie Couric earlier this year, underscoring that this is a deliberate and repeated strategy. He told Couric, "But there's a whole lot of people who were not, uh, naturalized citizens in the last election and were not old enough to vote in the last election, and who somehow just sat it out because they didn't like the choices in the last election. There's a whole lot of people to organize."
Adding to the concern, the scandal-plagued state AG also advised Democrats to "go places you normally don't go" and "go to the neighborhood ... that you don't necessarily speak the language" to recruit these new voters. This is a thinly veiled directive to target non-English speaking communities, raising legitimate questions about how these individuals are being engaged and whether they fully understand the implications of their participation.
Ellison's strategy appears to be a frank acknowledgement that Democrats are actively pursuing individuals who lacked full legal status in previous cycles, alongside their ongoing efforts to leverage youthful inexperience for their radical progressive agenda. And who benefits from such a questionable strategy? Candidates like Peggy Flanagan, a far-left ideologue for whom Ellison was campaigning.
Flanagan herself is no stranger to controversy, having shamelessly rushed to defend a Somali community embroiled in a multi-billion dollar fraud scandal that plundered state coffers, even appearing in a hijab to do so. This comes as Ellison's own record reveals disturbing connections: he reportedly met with at least six members of a Somali family who have pleaded guilty or entered no-contest pleas in a staggering $14 million federal child nutrition fraud scheme.
During these meetings, Ellison allegedly offered to help them push back against investigations into their activities, while the fraudsters, in turn, offered "votes" and "dollars." RedState previously reported that audio clips of these highly suspicious meetings reportedly exist, painting a stark picture of potential quid pro quo arrangements that trade political influence for electoral gain.
This blatant push to convert foreigners into voters, coupled with a pattern of questionable associations and apparent vote-buying schemes, exposes a dangerous playbook from the radical left. It's a strategy that undermines the integrity of our elections and threatens the very foundation of American self-governance. Americans deserve to know who is voting and that their voices, and the sanctity of their vote, are protected, not diluted by partisan manipulation.
