When the Democratic Party lost the election because most of the white middle-class voters in the Midwest rejected Hillary Clinton, you would think that they would look for a Democratic National Committee chairman with some appeal to these working-class Americans (“Ellison Pushes Back As Critics Press Attacks,” Nov. 25).
Not so! Rep. Keith Ellison is a Black Muslim with old ties to [Minister Louis] Farrakhan, and he has a clear anti-Israel stance on most issues. If he does become the DNC head, the Democrats are risking becoming a minority party, representing the East and West coasts and to be renamed the PCP, the Politically Correct Party.
