Eskow on Ellison: "An American Hero"
RJ Eskow writes about the Goode-vs-Ellison row at HuffPo, calling Ellison an "American Hero:”
I don't "tolerate" Keith Ellison. I admire, respect, and appreciate hm.Ellison is an American hero. Like other civil rights heroes before him, he knew he would face an onslaught of brutal attacks for being the first to break a barrier - and for doing so without shame or apology. But he did it anyway, like Rosa Parks at the front of the bus or James Meredith entering a segregated university. Like John F. Kennedy running for President while bigots claimed he would "take orders from the Vatican." That, folks, is heroism American-style.
We need more heroism in Congress, and less religious correctness.
