Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) is facing some heat after a video clip from a recent campaign event circulated on X, showing him urging supporters to mobilize a large group of people who were not naturalized citizens during the last election. 
In the footage, posted by the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) research account, Ellison addressed a crowd at a campaign event on Monday for progressive Sen. candidate and current Lt. 
Gov. 
Peggy Flanagan (D-MN). 
His comments appear to be an admission that Democrats are relying on very newly eligible voters—including recent naturalizations—to boost turnout. 
"There’s a whole lot of people who were not 18 years old in the last election. 
There’s a whole lot of people who were not naturalized citizens in the last election. 
There's a whole lot of people who sat it out because of whatever reason in the last election," Ellison said. 
"But you know what? 
We gonna get them all this election." 
The RNC Research account shared the video and captioned it, "Did Minnesota AG Keith Ellison just admit that Democrats are giving people citizenship for votes?"

Sen Candidate Practically Trips Over Her Hijab Running to Defend Somalis at the Heart of MN Fraud Scandal 
Believe it or not, this isn't the first time Ellison has made such remarks, practically duplicating them word-for-word in an interview with Katie Couric back in January. 
"But there's a whole lot of people who were not, uh, naturalized citizens in the last election and were not old enough to vote in the last election, and who somehow just sat it out because they didn't like the choices in the last election," he told Couric. 
"There's a whole lot of people to organize." 
The scandal-plagued state AG also suggested Democrats need to "go places you normally don't go" and "go to the neighborhood ... that you don't necessarily speak the language" in order to recruit new voters. 
Ellison appears to be acknowledging that many of the voters Democrats are now targeting are individuals without full legal status, as they did during the previous cycle. 
Not to mention their clear intent to try and mobilize youthful ignorance for their progressive movement. 
I mean, what other voting blocs would want somebody like Flanagan representing Minnesota in the Senate? 
Flanagan is a borderline nutjob, racing to get in front of a camera this past December and defend a Somali community in the midst of a fraud scandal that cost her state billions, all while wearing a hijab. 
Ellison, by the way, met with at least six members of a Somali family who have pleaded guilty or entered a no-contest plea in a $14 million federal child nutrition fraud scandal. 
He offered to help them push back against investigations into their activities, while the fraudsters offered "votes" and "dollars." 
As RedState's Bonchie previously reported, there are audio clips of the meeting. 
Flanagan, meanwhile, has boasted to anyone who will listen how she is “the first Native American woman to chair a national party committee in history," while claiming on her campaign website that she is a member of the White Earth Nation. 
Nutty. 
Now, the pair are openly promoting trying to turn foreigners into voters as fast as they can. 
Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. 
Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress. 
Help RedState continue to report on the Democrats’ radicalism and inform voters as our nation faces a crossroads.
