DNC Pols Side With Ellison Over Smear

During a forum with candidates running to become chair of the Democratic National Committee, candidates were asked about billionaire donor Haim Saban who called Representative Keith Ellison an "anti-Semite." Everyone defended Ellison and the Congressman said he had spoken with Saban recently. “Keith is a great guy,” Jaime Harrison, a fellow candidate said. “I don’t believe that there’s an anti-Semitic bone in his body.” Ellison said that he had spoken to Saban recently about the incident and that the two men were “on the road” to reconciling the problem.
