BREAKING: Heated exchange between Sen. @SenRonJohnson & Minnesota AG @keithellison just now after Sen. Johnson pressed Ellison about anti-ICE agitators using Signal chats to coordinate: Ellison: "I'm aware it exists, but this is First Amendment activity". Johnson: "You encouraged trained activists to put themselves in harms way to impede law enforcement...does that concern you?" Ellison: "That never happened. We at all times said if you want to protest, protest peacefully, protest safely." Johnson: "A tragedy was going to happen and you encouraged it, and you ought to feel damn guilty about it." (Ellison smirks) Johnson: "Yeah, sit there and smirk. Sick. It's despicable!" Ellison: "What are you asking me for? Comment, Senator? Because everything you said was untrue. It was a nice theatrical performance, but it was all lies."
