Minnesota AG Brags About Suing Trump: ‘And We’ll Sue Him 44 More’ Times!

 

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison bragged about the number of lawsuits Democratic attorneys general have filed against President Donald Trump — telling a crowd at the Democratic National Committee’s summer meeting that “we’ll sue him 44 more [times], and 44 after that!”

Speaking on Monday, Ellison saluted the Democratic lawmakers who fought against GOP redistricting efforts in Texas, before lauding his fellow Democratic AGs for their work fighting Trump.

“Have we forgotten about our Texas Dems, standing up so bold, so brave, so powerful,” said Ellison. “And even us Democratic AGs have sued this dude 44 times. And we’ll sue him 44 more and 44 more after that.”

He continued, detailing the issues on which  lawmakers have sued the president over.

“And we have sued him for gender affirming care. Yes, we are not going to scapegoat our transgender community. And we have sued him to stand up for medical research, National Institute of Health,” said Ellison. “And we have sued him for birthright citizenship. And we have sued him to protect our environment. And we will sue him everyday and all the time and we will be unrelenting and I want you to know that.”

Ellison, who’s served as Minnesota’s AG since 2019, also served as the congressman for the state’s 5th district from 2007 until his successful run for Attorney General. He briefly held the position of co-chair of the Democratic National Committee– his tenure marred by allegations of domestic abuse which were eventually proven false. Ellison gained national attention for his role as special prosecutor in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the police officer who was convicted of murdering George Floyd in 2020 — whom Ellison charged with second degree murder.
