The Minneapolis Mayor, Democrat Jacob Frey, loves criminals. He thinks their behavior is beautiful. And he’s never been more proud of it.
ABC’s on-screen chyron claims the protests are “mostly peaceful.” But there is nothing peaceful about protesting for criminals.
I found this video clip at Slay News, but the audio and visuals are slightly out of sync. So I am posting some of the official ABC News transcript. His words are below.
KARL: What is your message now to protesters?
FREY: The message hasn’t changed. And at the same time, we have had tens of thousands of people in Minneapolis stand up and protest peacefully. We’ve got people sliding down these hills of ice to attend a protest and making sure that people would have food that are scared to go outside because they’re afraid of having their families ripped apart.
You know, I think it’s important to tell the whole country that this is not just about resistance here in Minneapolis, it’s about love. We are showing something far more powerful and consequential here, which is love. We are standing up for one another. You’ve got neighbors helping neighbors. You’ve got people uniting and coming together in this beautiful way. And, obviously, we’ve got these threats out there from the federal government that were literally designed to intimidate Minneapolis residents, to intimidate me.
But here’s the thing, we’re not going to be intimidated. We’ve got this beautiful city full of extraordinary people. I have never been prouder to be from Minneapolis.
KARL: But let me ask you, during those incredibly emotional moments and hours after the shooting of Renee Good, you went on national television, and you said to ICE, get the F out of Minneapolis.
Do you regret that language? I mean, that doesn’t sound like turning the temperature down.
FREY: I don’t regret it at all. In the moments before I went out there to do that press conference, I learned that Kristi Noem had already jumped to a conclusion as to the ICE agent’s conduct, saying that it was purely self-defense. Minutes or hours later you had her saying that Renee Good was a domestic terrorist. If I seemed like I was angry and frustrated, I was.
And part of my responsibility as mayor is to channel what people in our city are feeling. And the people in our city were angry. They were upset. And at the same time, from the very beginning, we were saying the same thing, which is, we’ve got to keep the peace.
We’re not going to counter Donald Trump’s chaos with our own brand of chaos here. Yes, we stand up. Yes, we peacefully protest. And we’re not going to go down this route that gives them the excuse to come in with greater numbers.
They’re looking for an excuse. They’re trying to intimidate Minneapolis residents. But I’ll tell you, I’ve seen tens of thousands of people remain composed, to line up to get groceries to people that are scared to go outside, to make sure that people have a walk to their car on their way back home from work.
I mean, there have been so many beautiful things that have taken place here in Minneapolis. And I’ll tell you, this is another thing to remember, it’s January in Minneapolis.
KARL: It’s cold.
FREY: It’s like negative temperatures out there, but people have never felt warmer.
KARL: All right, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, thank you for joining us.
FREY: Thank you for having me.
Of course the protesters have never felt warmer. The rioting, pot, alcohol, and other drugs they are on really warm them up.
