Ellison denies knowing anyone who supports defunding police despite own support for replacing police force
Ellison previously supported replacing Minneapolis police with a new department of public safety
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is under fire for claiming he doesn't know anyone who supports defunding the police despite appearing at a campaign event for Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., just days before.
"I don’t know anybody who thinks we should defund the police," Ellison said during a debate on Sunday.
But critics were quick to point out that Ellison knew at least two people who supported the Defund the Police movement, with the Republican National Committee pointing out that the incumbent attorney general had attended a rally in support of Omar and Rep. Cori Bush, D–Mo., both of whom have expressed support for calls to limit police funding.
