InfoWars Head Alex Jones claims Hollywood Elites Grabbed him by the Pu$$y!

Alex Jones

By now it is fair to assume that most of our readers are aware of the sexual harassment scandal surrounding Hollywood Mogul Harvey Weinstein. Click here for more background on Weinstein's fall from grace. Alex Jones everyone's favorite nut-job of InfoWars infamy has come forward claiming that he has been sexually harassed by Hollywood insiders.

Susan Wright over at Redstate.com has the story:

InfoWars host Alex Jones jumped the Weinstein bandwagon Friday:
“I’ve had Hollywood producers grab me by the genitals, twice, and I’ve had them pat me on the butt many other times, and that’s why, one reason, I don’t go out there,” Mr. Jones said near the start of Friday’s edition of his popular internet and radio program.
“I was just thinking about it — I had suppressed it, I had repressed it — one other Hollywood producer, three of them, grabbed my genitals,” Mr. Jones said several minutes later.

The Weinstein thing has been going on for over a week. Jones has been talking about it, without making a single reference to his own experiences, but suddenly, he’s got a vivid memory and exact detail.
“Going after the women is only secondary and only to humiliate them. It’s really about men dominating other men, and it’s not even for the gay sex. It’s an act of domination,” Mr. Jones said during Friday’s broadcast.
“I guess it’s just something they do – they really will grab you and really not kind of hurt you, but squeeze you. I guess just to see what you’re going to do,” Mr. Jones said. “It was like a weird handshake ritual of dominance to see what I’d do.”

So knowing all of this, what did you do? Who was responsible? Name names and put those scumbags on the ropes.
Jones didn’t name names.

IR has to share Susan Wright's skepticism of Alex Jones claim of having been molested by Hollywood moguls. His refusal to name the people he alleges to have harmed him diminishes his already non-existent credibility. The cowardly behavior exhibited by Alex Jones stands in stark contrast to the late great Gary Welsh of Advance Indiana fame. Indy Republican admits that yes Gary was an fan of InfoWars and believed in our opinions far more than he should have in conspiracy theories. Gary was only trying to get at the truth and help insure justice was done. Also Gary openly called out powerful people that he knew or thought he knew engaged in molesting others. The staff here recalls with great admiration. Gary Welsh's articles exposing Indiana Democratic fundraiser Joe "The Popper King" Miller for his role in contributing to the death of many members of his own gay community by his manufacturing of poppers. As well as calling out Miller on the fact that he had been charged in the late 1970's with molesting two teenage boys in Johnson County, Indiana.

It is one of the greatest sins of our time that a man like Gary Welsh who did fight against sexual violence against men and women felt compelled to end his life. While a, and we use the term loosely here a "man" like the vile creep Alex Jones is out there peddling his garbage. Alex Jones days are numbered though. More and more. His insanity is being called out by great men and women at publications like Redstate, National Review, Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire, Brian Dunning's Skeptoid.com, and the Weekly Standard.

We will leave you with a video that we believe portrays what really runs through Alex Jones's brain:

Reactions to Mike Pence's Sunday Colt's Game Hissyfit

On Sunday we reported on Mike Pence's publicity stunt in which he ran away like an angry child at the Colt's game, and how he posted a three year old picture of himself and his wife to Twitter showing them at a Colt's game. Not to mention Pence's going to attend a fundraiser for RINO Congressman and Putin Stooge Dana Rohrabacher on Monday. Apparently others took notice of Pence's asinine behavior and expressed everything from advice to Vice President Pence, suggestions for what Pence could be better used for, etc. We thought we would share the responses of other distinguished people with you our readers. Here are some of what we found perusing cyberspace:

Angie's List selling it's East-Side Indianapolis Office

To all our readers IR apologizes for the delay in reporting this news. The staff has had a busy week. On Monday October 9th, 2017 Jared Council writing for the Indianapolis Business Journal reported that the Indianapolis based front um we mean business Angie's List has decided it is time to sell their east-side business campus.

Council reported:

ANGI Homeservices Inc. has listed for sale the entire Angie's List corporate campus, a 17.5-acre property that helped revitalize a section of Indianapolis just east of downtown—but one that ANGI wants nothing to do with.
Colorado-based ANGI—which debuted as a public company Oct. 2 after Angie's List Inc. merged with HomeAdvisor—announced Monday that it is selling the property for the best offer. The campus, headquartered at 1030 E. Washington St., is made up of 41 parcels with 25 buildings, 1,000 parking spaces and 190,000 square feet of office space.
The local office of Chicago-based JLL is the listing real estate brokerage.
It remains to be seen how much interest it will attract, whether one buyer will want it all, and whether the next owner (or owners) plans to be an occupant or an investor.
Abbe Hohmann, president of Indianapolis-based Site Strategies Advisory LLC, said the campus might see some interest—but it could be tough to get one buyer. Hohmann was involved in Indianapolis Public Schools' $1.65 million sale of the former Ford plant on East Washington Street to TWG Development Inc. The Ford plant is across the street from Angie's campus on a 3.6-acre lot.
"We had five bidders, so there are people looking at that East Washington Street corridor," Hohmann said. "But I think the challenge will be having one group want to buy all of that."
JLL listing agent Matt Waggoner said ANGI will accept offers until Nov. 3 and hopes to finalize a buyer or buyers by the middle of next year, when it will move affected employees to new space. He said ANGI's preference is to sell the property to one buyer, but is not ruling out offloading it in pieces.
"One of the huge benefits of this campus ... is that it's one of the biggest developable parcels in proximity to downtown," Waggoner said. "It's got a lot of parking, it's got a lot of good infrastructure and buildings, so it creates a lot of flexibility for future buyers."

There aren't many potential occupants known to be looking for 190,000 square feet of space.

Angie's List started renting east-side buildings and lots in 2000 and grew its footprint over time. In November 2012, while in the midst of adding 500 employees to the roughly 1,000 it already had, it decided to purchase those parcels—about 40—for $6.25 million.
The seller was Henry Amalgamated, a property company in which former Angie's List CEO Bill Oesterle was a 70 percent owner.
ANGI's decision is hardly a surprise. Since the merger was announced in May, officials charged with leading the new company expressed interest in cutting costs and simplifying operations. And it just doesn't need that much space. Angie's List downsized from about 2,200 employees in mid-2014 to about 1,000 today..
Angie's List and HomeAdvisor are separate brands under ANGI. Both entities plan to maintain separate operations in Indianapolis—at least for now. ANGI CEO Chris Terrill told IBJ last week that his vision is for the two brands to occupy the same office space, but that may come down the road.

We need not worry about Angie's List finding a buyer for their campus. Surely Bill Oesterle or Angie Hicks can use their political pull business acumen to find someone to by the property above market value! Let's help Paul Ogden and the late great Gary Welsh finally drive a stake through the heart of the Indianapolis vampire known as Angie's List.

Vice President Mike Pence’s Shamelessly Panders to his Beltway Paymasters


Mike Pence the sycophant

Well IR was hoping we could get through this weekend without having to witness anymore stupidity out of Vice President Pence. But as is his won’t good old Mikey just had to show us all just how much of a political hack he is. INDY REPUBLICAN has many times over the past year and a half of this blogs existence chronicled the train wreck that is Mike Pence. Everything from his whoring himself out at a fundraiser for his master President Trumpphotographic proof that he is losing his soulhis attempts to act like “I know nothing” Sergeant Schultz
to his dishonesty about his residency when he ran for governor. We have covered it all. At today's Colts game facing off against the 49ers, Vice President Pence decided to up and leave the game.

Frank Schwab of Yahoo Sports has the story:

Vice President Mike Pence left the Indianapolis Colts game before it started on Sunday, making a show out of leaving when players from the visiting team knelt for the national anthem. President Donald Trump later tweeted that he had asked Pence to leave the game if anyone knelt.
Vice President Pence being the sniveling toady he is submitted to his master Donald Trump by running away like a whiny little girl leaving the game. Not content enough to simply leave. The VP decided to take to Twitter and express his outrage at the San Francisco 49er's kneeling during the national anthem. Probably because Pence was afraid that President Trump would question his manhood if he did not.


Which is interesting as earlier Pence had tweeted that he wanted to cheer on the Colts and honor former Indianapolis Colt Peyton Manning:

Or here in this shot of Mike and Karen standing for the national anthem:


Last week IR friend and fellow blogger Paul Ogden of Ogden on Politics fame summed up INDY REPUBLICANS feelings perfectly both regarding the "protesters" kneeling during the national anthem and the bone headed reaction of our Commander-in-Chief to these classless fools:

I (Paul Ogden) find the players actions at best misguided and at worst deplorable. The protest is supposed to be about raising the issue of racism.  But the protest does not do that at all.  Instead the protesting players are slapping the face of all those who have fought and died so that we can have the freedoms we Americans enjoy, including the freedom those players have to earn millions of dollars playing a game one day a week.  Those players might have as well gone up and spit on the flag and what it represents.   But it is exactly because of what that flag stands for that we should respect and allow the protests to continue.  The flag stands for the freedom to express one's views, especially those that are political, i.e are about a matter of public concern. Now I am well aware that the Free Speech Clause does not apply to private businesses, such as the NFL.  And, yes, the team owners can almost certainly legally fire the players for their objectionable speech.  But just because the action would be legal, does not mean it is right.  Free speech is not just part of a constitutional amendment.  It is an essential characteristic of American society and a bedrock principle of our political system.  If people are constantly threatened with their jobs if they dare express their views publicly then robust political debate is silenced and we all suffer as a result. Sadly, we have a President who has long declared open hostility to the American tradition of free speech.   Candidate Trump attacked American free speech during the campaign., even suggesting that the requirement of "actual malice" for libel actions be done away with.  Trump warmly praised dictators who violently put down public protests and kill journalists who write negative stories about those dictators. He is the first President since John Adams who has argued that Americans actually have too much free speech.   Even before entering the world of politics, Trump was well-known for suing (or threatening to sue) anyone who had the temerity to speak ill of him publicly. Unfortunately, too many of my Republican friends have tossed aside their conservative principles to back the President's over-the-top assertion that these NFL players should be fired by their employers. In doing so, they are eschewing Constitutional principles and embracing the liberal tactics of suppressing unpopular free speech, i.e. speech liberals do not like  If those tactics are wrong for liberals, they are also wrong when done by conservatives.   The answer to unpopular speech is not to silence that speech, but to counter it with other speech.  By all means let's roundly condemn those players who insult the grand principles for which our great country stands. But, as one of those principles is the right to speak out on matters of public concern, let's stop short of demanding that speech be silenced by firing the speakers.   For conservatives to do otherwise makes them no better than the liberals.

INDY REPUBLICAN just like Paul Ogden feels that these "protesters" are showing extreme disrespect to the national anthem of this the greatest country in the history of man. Nevertheless standing up for these United States and the Anthem demands that we should allow the protest to continue. We conservatives, libertarians, and republicans should counter the protesters with speech of our own defending the U.S. of A. We must not attempt to trample the free speech rights of anyone. Nor should we turn tail and yell "UNCLE" like the spineless jellyfish of a Vice President Mike Pence did earlier today.

IR would like to ask Mike Pence this question: "Why not stay during the game and show that you were not intimidated by the cowardly kneeling during the anthem?" Instead by leaving you gave the (accurate) impression that you are terrified of any sign of dissent weather real or imagined.

Bill Kristol former chief of staff to Vice President Quayle and Editor-in-Chief of The Weekly Standard magazine, has some interesting observations about the Vice President's conduct at today's Colts game:

Mr. Kristol is referring to California Republican  Congressman Dana Rohrabacher. The Vice President is scheduled to be at a fundraiser for Rohrabacher tomorrow. This despite the fact that many political observers have expressed concerns about Rohrabacher's overly friendly views towards Russian tyrant and former KGB Agent Vladimir Putin. If being around a bunch of pampered, self-indulgent, whiners who show disrespect to the national anthem is too much for the Vice President. Then how can he justify fundraising for a congressman whose own patriotism has been rightfully questioned?

Kristol also had this to offer bit of advice for Mike Pence to consider:

It's a fair point Mr. Vice President. If the VP or any supporters of his feel an need to respond. We will happily post there responses. We are not going to hold our breath.

Have a Happy Columbus Day tomorrow everyone!



UPDATE: WRTV reporter Katie Cox reports that the photo of Mike and Karen Pence in Colts attire was actually a photo taken back in 2014. It is apparent when you compare the photograph of the Second Couple standing for the anthem in which the Vice President is wearing a business suit and Mrs. Pence is wearing a Colts Jersey No# 18. And in the other picture both Pences are wearing Colts apparel and Mrs. Pence is wearing a Colts No# 50 Jersey. Click here for the full story. 

UPDATE: Patterico over at Redstate.com has written here about how Mike Pence’s whole childish walkout at today’s Colts game was a pre planned stunt.

Did Former Workforce Development Commissioner steer nearly $1 Million to their former company?

Steve Braun

Recently INDY REPUBLICAN reported here on the resignation of Indiana Department of Workforce Development Commissioner Steve Braun in preparation to run for congress. Now to our extreme surprise word is out that Steve Braun may have some conflict of interest issues he is embroiled in. Hayleigh Colombo at IBJ.COM has an article she wrote yesterday entitled “Former DWD chief used ex-colleagues to build key data tool” has the details.

Ms. Colombo reports:

When Steve Braun stepped down last month from leading the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, his key initiative was in place and operating: a $3.6 million data system designed to predict demand in Indiana for about 800 occupations.

It was something the Republican had been working to execute almost since then-Gov. Mike Pence tapped him in late 2014 to lead the agency.

Braun—a former state legislator who had sold an IT consulting firm a decade earlier for $40 million—believed the key to cracking the workforce code was the use of forecasting and analytics tools to anticipate the state’s labor needs.

And now, as Braun readies a run for Congress, his system is starting to produce results that he and other advocates say will give the state unprecedented insights into current and future job demand, information that is being used to inform decisions about the way hundreds of millions of dollars in education and training funding are allocated.

Braun, 57, said he wanted to create an “ecosystem to give us a very unique strategic advantage when it comes to how we educate our people with the right skills at the right time to fill the jobs today and in the future.”

But not everyone is fully comfortable with the process that led to the development of what’s called the Demand Driven Workforce System or what some fear is an overreliance on the data to make decisions affecting thousands of Indiana high school and college students.

For one, a key part of the work was done by Chicago-based Inquidia Consulting  a 25-employee data-analytics firm that was started by several of Braun’s former employees from Braun Consulting, the IT firm he sold to Minneapolis-based Fair Isaac Corp. in 2004.

Now here comes the juicy part:

Inquidia—which reaped nearly $1 million over two years from the DWD— also employed Braun’s son Jonathon as a senior data architect and consultant at the time Inquidia started working for the state in 2015.

Steve Braun himself was a minority shareholder in Inquidia until shortly before the agency sought firms to bid on the project in 2015. Braun said he once owned 27 percent of the firm.

And Braun told IBJ he championed Inquidia’s involvement from the start. (Wonder why? Could it have something to do with his son having been employed at Inquidia?)

“As we looked around in terms of people that could do it for us, we weren’t comfortable that there were vendors in the current system really that … were capable,” Braun said. “I knew my guys could because this is what we did.”

Hayleigh Colombo also points out in addition to the possible conflict of interest. The project may not work as the state hopes it will.

Observers say another potential problem is the data itself. Experts say there’s no system—no matter how well designed—that can fully predict what jobs will be available in a decade or more. And they worry that decisions based largely on the information might miss the mark.

Michael Hicks, the director of Ball State University’s Center for Business and Economic Research, said the DWD’s goals are laudable. But he said the state must be careful not to rely on the information too much or as if it’s 100 percent accurate.

“If the numbers are wrong and we’re deploying resources in places that are inappropriately educating people for those jobs, we’re screwing them over,” Hicks said. “There’s no polite way to say that.”

Hayleigh Colombo reporting on the deal with Inquidia:

The state’s contract with Inquidia struck some DWD employees as a potential conflict of interest—or at least the appearance of it—from the start. But the agency’s general counsel, Jeff Gill, told IBJ he was “confident we had screened Braun from any involvement” in the deal.

Braun said that—on the advice of DWD attorneys—he divested his Inquidia stake. State rules say officers and employees “may not knowingly have a financial interest in a contract made by an agency.”

State code also says an individual employed in an agency “may not contract with or supervise the work of a business entity of which a relative is a partner, executive officer, or sole proprietor.” The DWD said Braun’s son Jonathon was not in one of those leadership positions at Inquidia when he was an employee there from 2014 to 2016.

Braun submitted an amendment to his state financial disclosure on July 15, 2015—about two weeks before the request for bidders was released—stating that “as of June 30th, I have divested my entire minority shareholder position of Inquidia Consulting Inc. I no longer have any financial interest whatsoever in Inquidia.”

Indianapolis-based Knowledge Services, a state procurement contractor, released a “request for project services” seeking a vendor to help with the workforce system on Aug. 4, 2015. Responses were due two weeks later, on Aug. 18.

Inquidia was one of six bidders, according to DWD, and was ultimately selected. Also bidding were CSpring, SEP and STLogics Corp., all of which are based locally, as well as Lafayette-based Roeing Corp., and Ohio-based Sogeti USA, which has an Indianapolis branch.

Most of the unsuccessful bidders did not reply to IBJ’s request for comment.

But Raman Ohri, president of SEP, said nothing about the bidding process for the DWD contract seemed unusual—“other than the result.”

“The work was something we are well suited for,” Ohri said. And he said the company typically scores well in competitive bidding situations.

“In this case, we were the cheapest,” he said. But he said SEP scored low “for suitability of our solution.” (Very curious)

Braun said that he “wasn’t on the scoring team” that reviewed the bids and made the decision. “I completely stepped back once I divested,” he added.

Gill told IBJ that Steve Elliott, DWD’s chief information officer, and Jeff Tucker, a DWD IT specialist, “led the entire” bidding process. But it’s not clear who made the final hiring decision. (Conveniently as DWD Commissioner Braun was Elliott and Tucker’s boss and could have very easily applied pressure to them to award the contract to whomever he wanted)

DWD said in a written statement that it “cannot, for a variety of reasons–including confidentiality–provide a list of people who were involved in the scoring process, other than to say it did not include Steve Braun.”

(Our response to DWD’s saying cannot tell us who was involved in the scoring process is BULLSHIT! How is the scoring of a contract that involves millions in taxpayers money not a matter of public record? Without the list of scoring officials we have no way of knowing whether or not Steve Braun was one of the officials)

“The final decision was collaborative, and was based on the approved scoring process that was set forth,” DWD spokesman Bob Birge told IBJ in an email.

Gill rejected IBJ’s request to view evaluation forms used in the RFP scoring process. He said Indiana law gives agencies discretion to withhold from public disclosure “records that are intra-agency or interagency advisory or deliberative material.”

Braun said the vendor request “certainly was not tailored” to give Inquidia an advantage. But he also said, “It was clear in my mind that they were the best” option for the job. (Word to the wise Mr. Braun you should stop talking)

By mid-September 2015, Inquidia had inked out a deal with state officials, according to a signed work order provided to IBJ, in the amount of $481,160, including $28,000 for travel, lodging and meals. That contract called for Inquidia to create an “employer demand data strategy roadmap” and an “infrastructure and platform roadmap.”

Throughout at least part of the contract, Inquidia employees, including Jonathon Braun and others, used office space at the DWD, Steve Braun said.

Gill said Pence’s office recommended that DWD clear the contract through the Indiana Ethics Commission. Two months after it was signed, Gill wrote to then-Inspector General Cynthia Carrasco concerning two issues: Braun’s son Jonathon’s employment with Inquidia and Braun’s divestiture of the company.

The Office of the Inspector General determined “it does not appear that a potential conflict of interests exists” under state code. Staff attorney Stephanie Mullaney said in a reply to DWD that while it appeared appropriate statutes had been followed, “you may consider, out of an abundance of caution, to continue screening the commissioner from any involvement with Inquidia, particularly with respect to any potential issues, review, or other matters that may arise regarding any part of this project.”

State Rep. Ed DeLaney, D-Indianapolis, questioned the timing of Braun’s disclosure of the situation to the Inspector General’s office.

“The main concern is that it would have been better if Steve, who I have the highest regard for, had gotten the ethics opinion before going forward,” DeLaney said. “I don’t see a suggestion he made 5 cents off of this. But the system is a little strange where you get an ethical opinion after the fact.”

In the fall of 2016, the state used a change order to bump up the contract by another $100,000, bringing the total cost of Inquidia’s work for DWD to $981,160.

The state’s payments for the work ultimately went to Knowledge Services, which in turn paid Inquidia. That means the payments do not appear on the Indiana Transparency Portal, according to Indiana Department of Administration spokeswoman Molly Deuberry. The contract does not appear there either. (So much for open and transparent government. Gives some insight into what kind of Congressman Braun would be)

State Senator Luke Kenley said regarding DWD’s contract with Inquidia: “You need for that kind of a deal to be made if that’s the best purchase for the state but you need to have the transparency that’s going to provide enough openness,” Kenley said. “It sounds like the question is, ‘Did they do it well enough?’ It’s not just to make sure that the taxpayer is getting the best deal, but that the taxpayer is getting an honest deal.”

Ethics experts say this is a deal that deserves scrutiny.

“While I can appreciate they sought to create a level playing field, the fact that [Braun] admits ‘I knew my guys could do it’ makes it at least appear to have been preordained,” said Julia Vaughn, executive director of government watchdog group Common Cause Indiana.

Gerry Lanosga, an assistant professor of journalism at Indiana University, said “it always strikes me that there are a lot of companies that do the work in question and it seems convenient and coincidental that this company happens to be the one” chosen.

“Officials really should think about and ask themselves what would it look like to someone on the outside when there are relationships or connections with vendors that could lead to a perception of conflict of interest and possibly a gaming of the system,” he said.

INDY REPUBLICAN would like to commend Hayleigh Colombo for having written another outstanding article. DWD has been abysmally run since at least 2005. The fact that this agency has managed to escape so much public scrutiny for so long is incredible. This story reminds all of us here of another conflict of interest involving then DWD IT Director Roy Templeton back around 2005. DWD awarded a contract to a company that Templeton had a financial interest in. Surprisingly although the United States Department of Labor Office of Inspector General said DWD should not have awarded the contract. To the best of our knowledge nothing has ever been done to the agency or Templeton. It is long past time that the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Department of Labor reign in DWD.

Gary Welsh and Paul Ogden reported on Roy Templeton’s conflict of interest back in 2009. Click here and here for their articles.

UPDATE: Originally we said $3.6 Million in the blog post title. The original amount was closer to $1 Million. Sorry for the mistake. It has now been corrected. Thanks to Hayleigh Colombo for pointing out the mistake.

$35,000 buys you and your significant other a private dinner with Vice President Mike Pence!


Vice President Pence praying to be smarter 

Last week it was reported that Vice President Mike Pence will be hosting a fundraiser on Thursday September 28th at a still unrevealed location in Milwaukee. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on September 20th, 2017 the known details of the upcoming fundraiser:

The fundraiser is to benefit the Trump Victory fund, a joint fundraising committee for President Donald Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee.

The Journal Sentinel reports that it is not cheap to attend this fundraiser: 

It costs $2,700 per person to attend and $10,000 to get a photo with Pence. A private dinner with Pence costs $35,000 per couple and it’s $70,000 to be a part of the host committee.

Public events are typically scheduled around such fundraisers but nothing has been announced yet.

IR has been checking around but we all have been unable to uncover anymore information about Thursday's fundraiser than what has been reported in the above referenced article from last week. We cannot figure out why do many details of this event have been kept so vague. It maybe nothing more than blunders on the part of the VP's staff. But something tells us there is something more to this than a simple fundraiser. 

This sounds almost as silly as the preposterous fundraiser that Governor Eric Holcomb held that we blogged about in June.

If anyone out there has any information or ideas about this fundraiser please share them with us.

Anti-Semitic Congressman Keith Ellison compares illegal immigrants to Jews persecuted under Nazi Germany


Representative and Deputy DNC Chairman Keith Ellison 

The Hill reported that earlier this week in Minneapolis Congressman Keith Ellison gave a speech wherein he compared illegal immigrants to being equivalent to Jews hiding from the Nazi's during World War II. Needless to say Ellison's remarks have drawn severe criticism. Most notably from Jewish conservative writer, speaker, lawyer and talk show host Ben Shapiro. Mr. Shapiro is currently the host of  "The Ben Shapiro Show" on iTunes. He like most of the IR writers is a Never Trump Republican and his show is the highest rated conservative podcast in the country.

Carlos Garcia writing for theblaze.com gives Shapiro's 
annihilating response to Ellison's sickening statements:

“Well I mean, there are about one bajillion things with everything he just said,” Shapiro said on Fox News Wednesday.

“First of all,” he added, “Keith Ellison is the last person who should be making Holocaust references considering that he spent the last 30 years of his life opposing Jews. I mean he was very close with Nation of Islam founder Louis Farrakhan in the 1990s  He gave a leadoff speech for a guy named Kalid Muhammed who was so radical that he was thrown out of the Nation of Islam for anti-Semitism.”


“Keith Ellison is not the guy to be making this particular reference to begin. If Keith Ellison had been around in 1941, I have my doubts about what he would have done with Jews trying to hide from Nazis,” he laughed.

“But beyond that,” Shapiro continued, “the reference with regard to ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement], that ICE is somehow a Nazi force in enforcing the immigration laws is just absurd and the idea that people who are here illegally who have been living in the country in largely freedom, many of their kids are going to public schools, they are taking advantage of public benefits, they have jobs here — the idea that this is the same thing as making legal citizens of your country illegal and then throwing them into concentration camps or gassing them is just beyond the pale.

“It’s insane language from Ellison but nothing shocking considering who Ellison is,” he concluded.

Whatever problems the Indy Republican gang has with our Grand Old Party and they are legion. The presence of an Anti-Semitic bigot like Keith Ellison as the number two man at the DNC ensures that we will find many flaws to point out in our Democratic counterparts.

Here is a video of Ben Shapiro's ass whooping of Keith Ellison:
