Oh, grow up, Mayor Frey: Devine
Rantburg suggestion: Defund city councils
[NYPOST] Minneapolis’ soy boy of a mayor, Jacob Frey, proves that no matter how much you abase yourself to the mob, you can never be woke enough.

In a scene reminiscent of a Maoist struggle session, he stood before two black protest organizers Saturday and confessed through a mask into a microphone that he was "coming to grips with my own brokenness."

But the organizers, standing on a platform above him, weren’t interested in providing therapy for this 38-year-old man-child.

"Yes or no?" asked a woman with a microphone. "Will you commit to defunding the Minneapolis Police Department ... We don’t want no more police."

Poor Frey couldn’t bring himself to say yes, so his fate was sealed.

"Get the f—k out of here!" she snarled, and he was forced into a ritual walk of shame through the jeering crowd as they chanted, "Go home, Jacob!"

The only thing missing was a sign around his neck listing his transgressions.

Frey also made a fool spectacle of himself in front of hundreds of people in a Minneapolis chapel at a memorial service Thursday for George Floyd, the black man whose death under the knee of a white police officer has sparked nationwide protests.

Kneeling beside Floyd’s golden casket, Frey’s body trembled with great heaving sobs, as people nearby looked on in wonderment.

Someone should tell this half-price Justin Trudeau
...hereditary prime minister of the Great White North...
to stop wallowing in his own brokenness and start repairing his broken city.

There is no patience for self-indulgence amid the ruins. If Minneapolis had a grownup mayor instead of a snowflake, the rioting and looting of the past two weeks might have been nipped in the bud and America spared more pain piled on top of the pandemic.

Instead, the nation suffers due to one man’s inadequacies.

Frey is the perfect representative of a Democratic Party that has moved so far left, it is eating itself alive.

#2 ...and start repairing his broken city.

I seriously doubt Dem mayors care much about that, nor have the IQ to figure it out even if they were interested.

#3 Frey is originally from Fairfax VA and a graduate of William & Mary. I am sure his goal was to became a Minnesota Senator for life and move back to Virginia.

#5 #1, his career in politics may be going down the toilet. But if he looks like that at 38, he's got a great career shilling for Estee Lauder or Oil of Olay.

#6 But if he looks like that at 38, he's got a great career shilling for Estee Lauder or Oil of Olay.

When one door closes, another opens. I hope he finds his true calling, hopefully somewhere far away from us.
