Ellison: Bachmann's flying imams claim is 'psycho talk'
Categories: Michele Bachmann, Politics

Last week, Rep. Michele Bachmann claimed that the six "flying imams" who were briefly detained at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport in 2006 were here for a "victory celebration" for Rep. Keith Ellison. Ellison was the first Muslim to be elected to Congress and represents Minneapolis.
Her claim was quickly debunked. The men were attending a North American Imams Federation conference where Ellison gave a speech about American politics and Islam. And now Rep. Keith Ellison is talking back.
On MSNBC, Ellison said her comments "could even be called psycho talk".
