They literally created the role of "Deputy Chair" for Ellison when he got second place in the election for Chair.
Feel free to nitpic the definition of "deputy" if you want to change the subject. The fact remains that the protesters are protesting Kavanaugh and not Ellison, when the evidence against Ellison is far more robust and recent, and he is an active candidate and a leader within the Democrat party. There were some funny interviews where the Kavanaugh protesters were refusing to comment on Ellison. They hadn't been briefed on that. It just exposes the Dems purely political attack on Kavanaugh.
