Keith Ellison's Role in a Controversial Clemency Decision
Showing 5 Keith Ellison videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison joined Governor Tim Walz's Board of Pardons in approving clemency for Ka Lee Vang, an immigrant convicted in 2006 of repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl, a decision the Department of Homeland Security condemned as effectively erasing the conviction that made Vang eligible for deportation. The board's decision, which also included Minnesota's chief justice, drew sustained national criticism as commentators questioned why a board including the state's top law enforcement official would extend clemency in a case involving child sexual assault rather than allowing federal deportation proceedings to continue unimpeded. Charlie Kirk separately discusses New York City's mayoral race and the rise of self-described socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani, warning that what he calls the "Mamdani effect" could spread through the Democratic Party nationally, drawing a comparison to previous grievance-based political movements associated with Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
