For that alone he's a hardware store all over the Twin Cities brings you this podcast hour of garage logic and now from the mayor's office above the boat house on the east shore of spring like it's garage logic with working on production grace reverse director of social media John Hyden the newsroom and occasionally Kenny from the crabby coffee shop here is your flashlight kit

fireworks commissioner and keeper of common sense your mayor Joe sushi let's return to Keith Allison for a moment all right a recent poll show Minnesota's attorney general race is a dead heat as domestic abuse allegations against Alison continue to dog him in one poll from last month

Allison and his opponent Doug Wardlow were shown to be in a dead heat each with 41% among likely voters a second poll conducted by the start Tribune MPR news shockingly enough showed Alison at 41% with a slight lead over Wardlow but 18% of respondents in the start Tribune poll so they were still undecided and 57% were unsure whether or not to believe the abuse allegations made by Ellison's former girlfriend Karen Monahan.

Certainly believe blazy Ford didn't they right Minnesota's DFL party hired an attorney to investigate the accusations made by Monahan who claims you have video evidence of an instance during her relationship with Ellison where the congressman dragged her off a bed while yelling obscenities at her the lawyer hired by the DFL concluded that Monahan's claims could not be corroborated because she did not provide footage of the alleged event well by that standard then shouldn't Christine Ford have provided a video.

That's a that's the argument people are making.

The double standard here is extraordinary yes.

For her part Monahan isn't going away and why hasn't been Monahan been embraced by the the gals why hasn't she been embraced as a heroin of the me too much funny how that works she's not she's not been brought up there's been no there's been no ripple effect she's a long time Democrat.

Where's her where where's the madding crowd where are they this one is very evident how it is being just swept under the rug.

She's becoming outspoken critic of the party and says the party abandoned her when she came forward with claims against Ellison they certainly appear to have don't they.

And then here's a screenshot of a tweet she wrote because I had the courage to break my silence i'm not being told it's my fault if Keith's opponent wins i'm accused of working with his opponent to bring him down basically be silent we don't care about your humanity hypocrisy edits finest.

I can't believe the way she's treated by the same crowd that took a microscope to cavernous yearbook.

Yeah.

What you're something else they got him.

Find to his comb is what they went through that.

That's it.

Monahan is the second accused to come forward against Ellison in 2006 Amy Alexander also went on record to say that Ellison emotionally abused her but Ellison denied that and was granted a restraining order against her critics have called out

Democrats for having an apparent double standard on the me two movement with only 5% of Minnesota Democrats pulled by the start your viewing saying they believe monahan.

Only 5%

Well democratic US senators called for an FBI investigation into uncorroborated claims against the US Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings.

Wardlow's campaign is also work to draw attention to the accusations against Ellison questioning whether the congressman has the character to serve as Minnesota's top law enforcement official.

I'm voting for Wardlow but you know I am shocked at how tight this race has become in the last week because Ellison had a huge lead over what Wardlow.

Well how can these hypocrites not.
