Quotes from Jan Markell, founder and director of Minnesota-based Olive Tree Ministries, who is concerned that Ellison appears to be advocating political violence.

"He calls the work admirable when it's a bunch of communists and socialists and extremists and radicals. But Keith Ellison has always backed extremism. He's even said that the Constitution was only for white people."

"He has a history of extremism. He has a history of backing every socialist and every communist that comes along. He backs Islamists. And I think that he is so radical that the powers that be in the Democratic Party kept him at number-two position."

"I just think that if Democrats ever gain the majority, Keith Ellison could have control over the lives of all Americans – and I just think that's a troubling thought."
