5th District Rep. Keith Ellison (DFL) participated in a Q&A session on Reddit today.  President Obama participated in a chat like this recently, known as “IAmA.” Reddit didn’t crash during Ellison’s discussion like it did for Obama’s, but Ellison did get over 1,000 comments which provided discussion on a range of issues  including his relationship with Rep. Michele Bachmann,  constituent concerns and broader themes including what it is like to be a Muslim in Minnesota and how Washington has changed since he’s been in congress.
