Muslim Terrorist Supporting DNC Co Chair Keith Ellis accused of domestic violence..
In the emotional Facebook post, Austin Monahan accused Ellison of assaulting, harassing, threatening, and verbally abusing his mom.
"My name is Austin Monahan and I am writing this letter on behalf of me and my brother," Austin wrote. "My brother and I watched our mom come out of pure hell after getting out of her relationship with Keith Ellison."
Austin continued: "In the middle of 2017, I was using my mom's computer trying to download something and I clicked on a file, I found over 100 text and twitters messages and video almost 2 min long that showed Keith Ellison dragging my mama off the bed by her feet, screaming and calling her a "f*cking b*tch" and telling her to get the f*ck out of his house."
Keith Ellison tweeted this photo of Karen Monahan and her son Austin.
Keith Ellison tweeted this photo of Karen Monahan and her son Austin in 2016.
Austin added: "The messages I found, were mixed with him consistently telling my mom he wanted her back, he missed her, he knew he f*cked up and we wished he could do things different, he would victim shaming, bully her, and threaten her if she went public."
Karen Monahan has apparently confirmed the accusations. She tweeted that she recently shut down her Facebook account because she's afraid of backlash.
I shut down my facebook 2 days ago because I didn't want my kids seeing post people were posting to me. I really can't activate it now cause will be worse for them. My son is getting bullied on FB, DO NOT BULLY MY KIDS. tweet to me and leave them out of it

Monahan also said she is proud of her son for standing up for her.
I am so proud of my son for his courage. But this situation impacted me. If you have anything to say, please say it me and leave him out of it. No nasty comments to him https://t.co/UC84loHz1m

Congressman Ellison has not yet responded to these accusations. He previously tweeted photos of himself posing with Karen Monahan. He also posted a photo of Karen with her son Austin to his Twitter account.
In a December 2017 interview with Ahmed Tharwat, host of the Arab-American TV show "Belahdan," Karen said she is a victim of domestic violence, but did not specifically name Ellison as her abuser.
In a YouTube video, Monahan suggested that the reason why she kept quiet about the abuse was shame and fear of retaliation.
"There so much shame associated with this," Monahan said (see video starting at 16:29). "A lot of times, it's like, 'I'm not going to speak out because I know I'm going to be shamed, minimized, invalidated, and isolated'...Think about the power dynamics with elected officials. They have a built-in staff that's paid to protect them."
