Keith Ellison recently appeared with far left podcaster Dean Obeidallah and suggested that Trump and Republicans will try to ‘steal’ the 2026 midterm elections. He then talks about how the left has to be ready to ‘take the streets’ if this happens.
This is not some random, left wing activist saying this. He is the attorney general of the state of Minnesota.
Consider this a warning and a preview. If Democrats completely bomb in the midterms – and they very well could – people on the left are going to lose their minds and we will be likely to see rioting in certain locations.
Partial transcript by the Western Lensman:
Keith Ellison says Republicans mean to cheat in the midterms, and people should be “ready to protest, take to the streets.”
“Don’t act like, oh, they couldn’t mean that. They mean it…So be ready to get your dukes up.”
“I’m one who believes in peaceful protest, First Amendment.”
“But if they try to take our vote away, we should absolutely be in the street. And I’ll be right out there with everybody else.”
So the sitting Minnesota AG is casting doubts on the legitimacy of the election before a vote is counted and warning about firing up street mobilization in response.
