Two Tinas

US Senate candidate Tina Smith (D-MN) stands with DFL Attorney General of Minnesota candidate Keith Ellison despite very disturbing (but credible) allegations of assault against him.

Tina Smith, 9/2/18: “I think it’s – I appreciate that there are important allegations around @keithellison, and it’s also really important to realize and to appreciate that @keithellison categorically denies these.”
“But you continue to support him?”

Apparently all it took was Ellison claiming innocence for Karen Monahan to not be believed.

If you watched Judge Brett Kavanaugh's testimony regarding allegations against him, you likely noticed that he too was very emphatic in his denial. So did he receive the same courtesy from Sen. Smith?

Whatever happened to presumed innocent? Extremely saddened for our country & MN with such extreme representation in the US Senate. Time for Tina to go. #mnsen pic.twitter.com/N2aMxd94r2

You probably ascertained the answer to my question before even clicking on the video, didn't you?
