Minnesota Lawmaker Condemns Trump's Silence over Mosque Bombing
---------------------------------------------------------------

In Minnesota, Democratic Congressmember Keith Ellison on Thursday
condemned President Trump for not speaking out about Saturday's attack
on the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington-an act Minnesota's
governor condemned as terrorism. Speaking to the AP, Rep. Ellison said
of Trump's silence, "It suggests that his oath to protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States, including the right to equal
protection under the law, only extends to people who meet certain racial
and religious criteria."
