Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) made the alarmist and absolutely ridiculous claim during a speech Friday that “women are dying because we are losing elections.”
No, this is not a satire about how helpless Democrats believe women are. Those words actually came out of Ellison’s mouth:
“Did you know that in Missouri and in Texas and maybe other places maternal mortality has risen?” Ellison asked attendees of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee National Candidate Training forum. “Women are dying because we are losing elections. We don’t have the right to lose a damn election. We have to win.”

According to a report from NPR and ProPublica, maternal mortality is indeed on the rise in America. But there’s absolutely no evidence to support that it’s happening because Democrats aren’t winning elections, and to relate the two is absolutely absurd. Furthermore, maternal mortality has increased since 1990, meaning that it’s been happening through both Republican- and Democrat-control of Congress and the White House.

Unfortunately, Ellison’s claim is the mindset of a typical big government liberal. Democrats don’t believe people are at all capable of thinking or doing anything for themselves, and they believe that women and minorities are especially incompetent. Ironic, considering they champion themselves as the party of women and minorities.
But let’s pretend for a second that Ellison’s claim is correct, and let’s also pretend that Hillary Clinton’s statement that women voters – specifically, married white women voters – can’t think for themselves is also correct. Would that mean that Democrats believe women are killing themselves by not voting Democrat?
Sounds about right.

This is so insane it’s almost funny. The DNC is so desperate as they have no leader, no one to run for President that they are resorting to anything far out thing they can think of. With the dem scandals coming to light, I don’t see how they can be elected for anything.
Perhaps you should look at the numbers before complaining about the Democrats?
Texas has had a Republican majority in the legislature for a long time, and their maternal mortality rate was 35.8 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2014.
California has had a Democratic majority in the legislature for a long time, and their maternal mortality rate was about 7 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2013.
Let me repeat, Texas has FIVE TIMES the maternal mortality rate of California.
So sick of this perfidy and ongoing saga of corruption, lies, miss directions, buffoonery, narcissism, false narratives, character assassinations, stupidity, and sedition, by a cast that ranges from village idiots to genius’ and still NO INDICTMENTS. The liberals are guilty of trying to take down a president elected by the people, the republicans are guilty of cowardice and disloyalty to the president and the MSM are just a bunch of pathetic liars and do everything EXCEPT what they are supposed to do…..non bias journalism. Somewhere in all this the well being of America and the American people have been forgotten. This is how a country dies. Only one person seems to be trying to put this country back together and that’s the POTUS. He’s doing it and he’s doing it pretty much on his own. God Bless him and keep him strong.
If I were a democrat I would be highly offended that Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) would think I would be gullible and stupid enough to believe his remark.
An unnamed source said “It’s possible Keith Ellison obtained that information from the Steel dossier, or perhaps, Putin himself.”
Democrats are taking stupid to a whole new level.
So what’s YOUR explanation Keith? Could it be due to the violence of black men, like all of those NFL stars who seem to like to use their wives and baby mamas as punching bags ??????
Call Farrakhan and ask him why he wants whites and Jews dead?
Are there any more photos of the two of you that you have not hidden???
Where are the ones of you and Farrakhan in your under wear, Chicken Lips?????
As long and Tom Perez, Democratic National Committee Chairman and his co-chair Keith Ellison are in these positions, the DMC will go nowhere but down in flames. They just made several changes in delegate status for longtime party officials who did not totally support either one, or the other of them. This has caused some big time division in a party that is finding it very difficult to raise funds for the upcoming midterm elections. Naturally, the replacements for these changes were 75 new members that include Clinton campaign veterans, lobbyists etc. Ellison was chosen as co-chair by Perez to appease the Bernie Sanders crowd in the DNC. Appears to be the same old status quo at the DNC. Losers begat losers.
Women are dying due to the Democrat War On Women.
If this is the Democrats logic then they will lose for sure.
It is the Democrat form of gravitas.
Ellison has gained an enormous amount of weight in the last year or so.
