Facts about the Lawyer of Karen Monahan, who made an accusation against Keith Ellison [View all]
Keith Ellison (D) is running for MN Attorney General. I'm voting for him. He would help workers, consumers, and the environment.
Karen Monahan was Keith Ellison's girlfriend for three years. They broke up in August 2016 and he let her stay in his house while she looked for another place. She claims that when he wanted her to move out, he unsuccessfully tried to pull her out of bed by her feet while she was lying on her stomach listening to a podcast. He denies doing that. She says that's the only time he got physical with her.
Around October 1, she hired Minnesota attorney Andrew Parker.
Facts about Andrew Parker
- He's an anti-labor lawyer.
- He employed Doug Wardlow (R) at his law firm for six years, ending several years ago. Wardlow is running for MN Attorney General.
- Parker hosts a right-wing radio show for an hour a week. During the show, he praises Donald Trump and urges listeners to donate to Doug Wardlow.
- He has appeared on "Fox and Friends" and "Tucker Carlson Tonight" to promote Monahan's accusation against Keith Ellison. He admitted on those shows that he hasn't seen the video which Monahan supposedly has of the incident. (She also refused to show the video to the investigator for the DFL.)

I originally believed Karen Monahan's accusation. I figured it would be a strange thing to make up. Having learned more about her, I think she's capable of making it up. Maybe she didn't, I don't know. Even if I were certain her accusation is true, I'd vote for Keith Ellison to stop Doug Wardlow, who is anti-immigrant, anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-labor, and anti-environment.
