Did Rep. Keith Ellison just endorse a domestic terrorist organization?

Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota was at the bookstore Wednesday and was pretty proud to have found the perfect book to strike fear into the heart of President Trump, and no, it certainly wasn’t Steve Bannon’s upcoming truth-challenged tell-all.

Serious question: did Ellison see the words “anti-fascist” and thought it was clever, or does he actually know who the antifa are and how they operate? Is this an endorsement of those clowns in bandanas and hoodies who try to shut down conservative speakers by rioting, pepper-spraying opponents and smashing store windows and ATMs?

Here's the DNC co-chair endorsing an extremist group which regularly advocates & commits violence & vandalism, had hundreds of it's members arrested in 2017 & has been classified in some states as a terrorist organization.

Bravo. https://t.co/h2wHzcPGmI

Come on. @keithellison is part of the @DNC leadership and he’s posting a picture of himself grinning with the violent & radical Antifa’s book. For context, this would be like the @GOPChairwoman posting a picture of herself smiling with @RichardBSpencer’s newest book. Drag him. https://t.co/D3e87w8rbb

He knows that Antifa is notoriously violent and that the FBI is actively investigating some members for terror, right? https://t.co/y8wsQOJxaa

Definitely strikes fear in my heart. I’m not a fan of folks who throw bricks in to innocent business owners buildings or who beat up the media trying to cover their events. But hey, if ya wanna be pictured smiling and holding up their book, be my guest Congressman… https://t.co/OYiI4GEhAX

Um, the deputy chair of the DNC is endorsing a book that advocates for violence in the streets https://t.co/mSpE4cFd9Z

Keith Ellison endorsing a domestic terrorist group might not make the top 10 craziest things that happened today. It's been a wild 2018 so far. https://t.co/Xi49ZP1aGu

The DNC is a dumpster fire and Keith here wants to throw kerosene into the mix.

I mean dude.
You know AntiFa uses violence (and the threat thereof) to achieve their goals, right? https://t.co/JxVSJHdeMw

If you thought the Democrats’ main strategic failure in 2016 was not having Clinton visit Wisconsin just wait until DNC canvassing includes smashing storefronts with bricks because someone you disagree with is nearby. https://t.co/GKHvVYuRPm

Hey @keithellison, would you like to come to Berkeley to see how antifa harasses, stalks, and assaults @BerkeleyCRs on a daily basis? It should strike fear, because they’re perpetrating violence. https://t.co/U3y8YKonzv

Seriously? I actually was quite a bit more fond of Ellison than Sanders, but this? Casting your lot with a group of violent imbeciles? How unbelievably stupid. https://t.co/WCCKWPow3e

Looks like the DNC chair fully embraces domestic terrorists. https://t.co/T5cvBRbzIr

Antifa doesn't strike fear into the heart of…anyone…except maybe people who like their trash cans not on fire. https://t.co/gzRynFCvoB
