Karen Monahan is Keith Ellison’s ex-girlfriend. IJR reports that Monahan has accused Ellison of domestic violence. Monahan’s son, Austin Aslim Monahan broke the news via Facebook.
The Daily Caller explains that Monahan is a Sierra Club activist. Ellison admits that they were previously in a relationship but denies any wrongdoing.
The following pic shows Karen and Keith at The White House alongside Barack and Michelle Obama:
Keith Ellison is a politician and lawyer who recently announced that he would run for Minnesota Attorney General. This news could ruin his chances. Keith’s ex-wife, Kim released a statement explaining that the behavior Monahan describes does not match the character of the “Keith I know.”
Monahan shared the following tweet, confirming her son’s claims:
What my son said is true. Every statement he made was true.@keithellison, you know you did that to me. I have given every opportunity to get help and heal. Even now, u r willing to say my son is lying and have me continue to leak more text and info just so others will believe him

The tweet below explains that Monahan never intended to share her story with the world. If it wasn’t for her son discovering the video on her computer, this would still be a secret.
What’s horrible and equally terrifying about Karen Monahan’s story is that she never intended to tell it. If her son hadn’t of discovered the evidence she secretly saved on her computer, no one may have ever known about Rep. Ellison’s alleged abuse.

Extremely unsettling.
It’s difficult to believe that Monahan’s son would make up a lie about finding a video that shows his mother being dragged and verbally abused. If Keith Ellison continues to deny these allegations Monahan may feel forced to release the video.
