The mayor who presided over one of the worst race riots in U.S. history infuriated Americans across the country by deciding to honor the person centered on them instead of American veterans. As TGP readers know, the city of Minneapolis nearly burned to the ground back in the Summer of 2020 following the death of a troubled individual named George Floyd. A video emerged showing the moment police officers, including Derek Chauvin, knelt on Floyd while he screamed: “I can’t breathe.” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey sat around and did NOTHING to stop the torching of businesses and assaults on the police. But he did find time to cry at Floyd’s funeral.
On Memorial Day, Frey decided to reopen old wounds and issue this tone-deaf and despicable message paying tribute to Floyd instead of our military heroes. “Today, we remember George Floyd, who was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer six years ago,” he wrote on X. “That moment changed our city forever.” Frey then went full-on woke, bragging about how Minneapolis has changed in terms of race, policing, and other measures. Most would argue that the changes have been for the worse.
