So, Keith Ellison would defend gay activists disrupting his mosque's Friday services over Muslims killing gays?

This probably shouldn't come as a surprise from Keith 'Antifa' Ellison. He appeared on CNN yesterday and was asked about whether he had any problems with protesters, including Don Lemon, storming a church and driving everyone off. Ellison did his best to ignore the question and instead rambled on about Trump and ICE. All he would say about the behavior of the protesters was that it looked like "First Amendment activity" to him.
Jonathan Turley has a column up today stating that Ellison is simply wrong on the law.QuoteOne would think that a mob action against a church would be something that would transcend political divisions as a grotesque and chilling act. If you thought that, you do not know Keith Ellison.
Notably, in the CNN interview, Host Erin Burnett raised the incident due to its “bad optics” as opposed to the outrageous attack on a house of faith. Yet, Ellison was not even willing to take that lead in objecting to the simple optics as opposed to the denial of religious exercise. He insisted that this is “a First Amendment activity” and not a crime.
He is wrong. Protesting outside of the church is a First Amendment activity. Disrupting church services and abusing congregants inside the church is conduct, not speech.
