From his Twitter feed earlier today:
Ellison also put out two press releases today, one touting endorsements for DNC chairman from Lee Sanders (President of AFSCME) and Randi Weingerten (President of AFT), the other a personal statement reaffirming his support for Israel and a proposed two-state solution with the Palestinians. The second statement is likely in the aftermath of yesterday’s New York Times article which noted his previous comments praising Louis Farrakhan, as well as the likely review of those comments by opposition researchers and journalists now that he is running for DNC chairman.
