Ellison Raps Obama on Treatment of Muslim Women

Our sister site Minnesota Independent is picking up word that U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison reprimanded Sen. Barack Obama at a recent meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus, following reports that Obama volunteers removed two women in traditional Muslim headscarves from the stage at a campaign event in Michigan last week. Obama’s upbraiding by Ellison, the first Muslim member of Congress, is being described as "cordial but direct."
