During Ellison’s 2006 campaign Republican blogger Michael Brodkorb unearthed posts about Ellison’s Minnesota Daily articles and his involvement with the Nation of Islam. In response Ellison wrote a letter to the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota & the Dakotas falsely claiming he had never been a member, and that his connections with the Nation of Islam were limited to an 18-month period during which he helped organize the Minnesota contingent at the 1995 Million Man March. In 2016 CNN referred instead to Ellison’s “decade-long involvement in the Nation of Islam”. Ellison’s letter denounced the Nation of Islam and Farrakhan: “I wrongly dismissed concerns that they [Farrakhan’s remarks] were anti-Semitic. They were and are anti-Semitic and I should have come to that conclusion earlier than I did.” He explained his previous views by saying that he “did not adequately scrutinize the positions and statements of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, and Khalid Muhammed.” He also wrote, “any kind of discrimination and hate are wrong. This has always been my position”. During the 2006 campaign many prominent Jewish DFL activists supported Ellison, including fundraisers Samuel and Sylvia Kaplan and State Representative Phyllis Kahn, who said it was “inconceivable that he could have ever been an anti-Semite.”
