The woman who accused Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison of domestic abuse said on Monday that Democrats don't believe her story and threatened to isolate her over the allegations.
Karen Monahan, a former girlfriend, came forward last month alleging that Ellison sent her threatening text messages and once screamed obscenities at her as he dragged her off a bed by her feet.
The allegations didn't lead to any immediate action against the congressman, except for the announcement that the Democratic National Committee would review the accusations.
DNC CO-CHAIR, MINNESOTA REP. KEITH ELLISON DENIES ABUSE ALLEGATIONS FROM EX-GIRLFRIEND. Monahan slammed the Democratic Party for its response to her allegations when compared to its treatment of Christine Blasey Ford.
Ford has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of attempting to force himself onto her during at a high school party nearly four decades ago, prompting prominent Democrats to get behind Ford's allegations.
She added: "Four people, including my supervisor at the time, stated that I came to them after and shared the exact story I shared publicly, I shared multiple text between me and Keith, where I discuss the abuse with him and much more. As I said before, I knew I wouldn't be believed."
Her comment came after another user pointed to comments made by Peter Daou, a Democratic strategist and former advisor to Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, who wrote in a tweet that the Kavanaugh accuser will be "Attacked, smeared, and demonized" and that people must "Believe women."
