Rep. Keith Ellison won the Democratic primary for Minnesota attorney general on Tuesday night.
Just a few days ago, the son of the six-term congressman's former girlfriend posted a message on Facebook saying he saw video of Ellison dragging his mother, Karen Monahan, by her feet, while he yelled and cursed at her. On Sunday, Ellison said his relationship with Monahan ended in 2016, and he still cares "deeply for her well-being. This video does not exist because I never behaved in this way, and any characterization otherwise is false."
