Hegseth Confronts MN Mayor Who Gave 'State of the City' Speech at Mosque
Fox News ^ | May 24, 2017

Posted on 07/22/2017 9:45:18 PM PDT by Ray76

Pete Hegseth on Tuesday (May 23) confronted Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges after she delivered her "state of the city" address in a mosque.

Hodges, who previously called President Trump “uniquely pernicious,” chose the mosque as the location because she believes the city's Muslim community is under attack from the Trump administration.

The speech came just a day after the deadly terror attack in Manchester, England, which left 22 dead and scores more injured.

"Cities like Minneapolis and the people who live in them are squarely in Donald Trump’s sights," Hodges said during her address. "His agendas of oppression, regression, and suppression have no place in Minneapolis, and we are standing firm in our resistance to it."

Hegseth said Hodges tried to avoid answering his questions, so he tracked her down after the speech and confronted her.

"Why a mosque?" Hegseth asked of her choice of venue. "And would you do it in a church?"

The problem is any victims family will sue the agency town city government and the tax payer will pay for the decisions of the persons in charge. The persons in charge or attached to any case should be held personally responsible for thier actions. A parole board allows a convicted killer who serves 7 years but is in his 3rd gets parole and then goes out and kills a family member of yours, How do you feel about the parole board? Shouldnt they be personally responsible for the death of your family member? sick sick sick society

Not a peep from hate filled atheist groups on her use of the Mosque. Had it been the First Baptist Church, the sky would have fallen in over the uproar.

Yesterday I went down the list of the countries with a predominant faith of Muslim, and they are all at WAR with each other. Turkey...against Syria, and Iran against Iraq against Kuwait, and Shites against Sunnis, and Saudis against Syria.. We just need to arm them to the teeth and let them kill each other...for sure not a religion of peace.... Spare me.

This bitch, like the entire democrap party, has chosen m*slims and rejected us. It has given special favors to m*slims. It has made them above the law. It is ready and willing to let m*slims do whatever they want, including murdering, having child brides, and having 4 “wives.” This is in return for guaranteed votes and money.
This pos has betrayed us. Go to Pamela Geller’s site and see the video of this bitch with a burka in a campaign ad in the language spoken by the somalis.
bammy betrayed us. hillary was all set to betray us. This bitch betrayed us. All democraps.

Soros was Jewish and yet a Nazi collaborator, so it wouldn't be a stretch to see him collaborating with Muslims nowadays.

“From that press conference about her police commissioner it appears that she, and maybe the entire city government, is about to be overthrown.”

Should be in an oxcart the last mile.

“The political correctness and affirmative action that allowed the hiring of this unqualified, unstable man resulted in the this instance in the death of this young woman. While it is appropriate to focus on the loss of this individual, it should be remembered that political correctness and the resulting policies and programs are not just killing individuals but are corroding, undermining and ultimately destroying a once great American culture.”

You’ve described the anti trump/resist democrats and their goals very well. Ultimate inevitable results...death for innocents and eventually America.

“I’m really amazed how much LW Democrats are protecting Islam, a religion that is completely contrary to the democrat beliefs and ideology.”

Its because they are allied against a common enemy..America.

“Yep. My mom had an Algerian brandish a knife in France when she took photos of him skinning a goat.
To be fair, I wouldn’t want some stranger taking photos of me while I was “skinning my goat.”

Regards”

Is that the same as polishing the carrot?

Dead right you are. The CJ system is a farce. Shot through with political mediocrities. Judges are the worst and their patrons the mayors, governors etc right there,With them. Not universal but seriously pervasive in big cities/blue states.

The mayor and the people of Minneapolis will come to see that, as my tagline so aptly states, appeasement never works. Especially when dealing with muslims.
