Minnesota AG @KeithEllison personally led the Chauvin prosecution. But what about other cases against cops elsewhere? “Hopefully,” he tells @mehdirhasan, “our prosecution raises the bar and shines a light on what is possible if you really put your shoulder into the case.”

Why did Minn. AG @KeithEllison say he felt “bad” for Derek Chauvin? “It's just because I spent 16 years sitting in cells talking to defendants about what's going to happen next,” he says. “I don't want to dismiss his humanity just because he dismissed George Floyd's humanity.”

Just since the Chauvin verdict, there have been 12 more police killings in the U.S. “Sadly, this problem is one that we've had in our country for at least 100 years,” @KeithEllison tells @mehdirhasan. “I’m hoping that nowadays something new will happen.”

“I still would have preferred President Sanders, but you've got to give it to Joe Biden. He has stepped up and responded to the needs of the people.” -- @KeithEllison

No big deal. Just a Muslim primetime TV host asking the first Muslim elected to Congress how his faith has informed his work as a state attorney general.
@KeithEllison: “I’m focused on justice, fairness, and I think a person of any faith tradition could feel the way I do.”
