ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Rep. Keith Ellison is drawing criticism for calling attention to a book that condones violence during clashes with white supremacists.
The Democratic congressman posted a photo on Twitter Wednesday of himself posing with the book "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook." The book calls violence during "a small though vital sliver of anti-fascist activity."
Ellison's post said the book should "strike fear into the heart" of President Donald Trump. It drew pushback from Republicans who have criticized the movement's at-times violent disruptions of speaking engagements and white supremacist rallies.
