The Democratic National Committee has expelled a candidate for Chairman Tuesday for saying that his rival's Islamic faith should prohibit him from the position.

Breitbart reports that Vincent Tolliver wrote in an email to The Hill that he didn’t believe his Muslim rival Rep. Keith Ellison should be chairman because Islam discriminates against homosexuality.

“His being a Muslim is precisely why DNC voters should not vote for him,” Tolliver wrote. "Muslims discriminate against gays. Islamic law is clear on the subject, and being gay is a direct violation of it. In some Muslim countries, being gay is a crime punishable by death."

True, and precisely what conservatives have been trying to point out to the supposedly inclusive left, who turn a blind eye to Islamic intolerance.

“Clearly, Mr. Ellison is not the person to lead the DNC or any other organization committed to not discriminating based on gender identity or sexual orientation,” he continued. "I’m shocked [the Human Rights Campaign] has been silent on the issue. A vote for Representative Ellison by any member of the DNC would be divisive and unconscionable, not to mention counterproductive to the immediate and necessary steps of rebuilding the Democratic Party."

This rather shocking expression of Islamophobia (sarcasm alert) has prompted interim chair Donna Brazile to expel Tolliver from the race for his -- as she put it -- “disgusting” comments.

“The Democratic Party welcomes all Americans from all backgrounds. What we do not welcome is people discriminating against others based on who they are or how they worship,” Brazile told The Hill.

“We expect candidates for Chair of the Party to conduct a respectful campaign based on issues," she added. "To assure that, we ask all our Chair candidates to pledge ‘to uphold the interests, welfare and success of the Democratic Party of the United States,’ and to participate in the process ‘in good faith.’ Mr. Tolliver’s disgusting comments attacking the religion of a fellow candidate fall far short of that standard. Accordingly, Mr. Tolliver is no longer a candidate for DNC Chair."

Remember, this is the same Party that booed when God was mentioned at the 2012 Democratic Convention and whose messiah in the White House sneered at Christian Americans as "bitter clingers." Tolliver wasn't canned for attacking a candidate's religion, but for attacking Islam, which is sacrosanct to the Democratic Party.

Ellison, former member of the anti-Semitic Nation of Islam, current shill for the Muslim Brotherhood, and the first Muslim American elected to Congress, is generally considered to be the frontrunner to become the next DNC chair, which gives you some idea of what today's Democratic Party values.

“A few days after Donald Trump instituted a racist and unconstitutional Muslim ban, it’s disappointing that a fellow DNC candidate would fan the flames of intolerance,” said Ellison’s spokesperson Brett Morrow, fanning the flames of intolerance (that's what the left does, after all) and grossly mischaracterizing the immigration order Trump signed last week.

“Keith has shown first-hand his commitment to our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters, organizing tirelessly against the Minnesota anti-marriage equality amendment in 2012, which led to a resounding win for love at the ballot box. Trump is taking away health care for millions of people, separating families, and alienating our allies. Keith will continue to focus on uniting the Democratic party to fight back against division and hate, and to fight for the core Democratic values of tolerance and inclusion,” he continued. Blah blah blah.

The DNC chairmanship election will take place in late February.
