Trump, Noem blast Dems Tim Walz and Jacob Frey for ‘inciting’ protesters like Alex Pretti

WASHINGTON — President Trump and top officials blamed Dem Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for “inciting” anti-ICE protesters, including Alex Pretti — drawing a line between the chaos in the Twins Cities and the Trump admin’s investigation of massive benefits fraud in the state.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said the Trump administration began its massive immigration crackdown in Minnesota in response to the stagging welfare scandal the focused on the Somali immigrant community.

“We saw a resistance in Minneapolis like we haven’t seen anywhere else in this country,” Noem told Fox News’ “The Sunday Briefing. “In fact, encouraged by the governor at press conferences to go out and take to the streets and to resist law enforcement.”

“It really is [an] irresponsibility that we haven’t seen out of someone in any other state.”

Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino similarly raised concerns about local Democrats’ rhetoric in the run-up to the shooting of Pretti.

“Was he [Pretti] there for a reason? Did he fall victim to that violent and heated rhetoric by Mayor Frey and Gov. Walz?” Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino rhetorically asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday.

After the shooting Saturday, President Trump raged at Frey and Walz.

“The Mayor and the Governor are inciting Insurrection, with their pompous, dangerous, and arrogant rhetoric!” Trump fumed on Truth Social. “These sanctimonious political fools should be looking for the Billions of Dollars that [have] been stolen from the people of Minnesota, and the United States.”

Trump’s use of the phrase “inciting Insurrection” sparked speculation that the president has been mulling whether or not to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minneapolis, which would enable him to deploy the military to the beleaguered city.

Timmy Tampon and his sidekick, Frey, are issuing illegal orders to his Antifa fascists.

Walz and Frey are instigating the violence. Mrs. Walz wants to smell smoke again.

In case you've missed it Dumbass.
Trump is doing something about it. He is the only one. Maybe you just dropped off the turnip truck from Somalia. Try to keep up.

Yup. Kelly and his squeeze, Slotkin both. I hope the CIA is keeping a close eye on the both of them and who they are reporting to.

Seems to me we have laws against inciting riots.

So what are they going to do about it?

Even if Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, he'll get a half dozen injunctions forbidding him from doing so or acting on in about 5 seconds.

So they better realize that and be prepared to tell the courts to pound sand.

“Trump’s use of the phrase “inciting Insurrection” sparked speculation that the president has been mulling whether or not to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minneapolis”

He has no choice.

Frey and Walz have pulled police from the streets and left ICE to fend for themselves. They provide protection and back-up exactly nowhere. Then they gave a wink and a nod to the hard left revolutionaries.

If POTUS wants to enforce federal law in Minnesota he needs a full US Army mechanized brigade sans the artillery. Use the tracked vehicles to clear streets when necessary and assault teams in Blackhawks for quick and responsive back-up/evac.

It’s time to stop coddling the apparently thousands of criminals who are using their “normalcy” to protect several thousand illegal alien criminals.

As for the judges who arbitrarily refuse arrest warrants for “regular citizens” who are assaulting, obstructing and resisting ICE...they must be impeached.

Send a full Brigade.

Once the Insurrection is formally declared by POTUS it does not matter what a District Judge has to say about it.

AND the State Government and City Government must be taken over by military administrators until the Insurrection is defeated.

My question also. I just wish they’d cut back on the sorry press conferences with clowns from the janitorial department at the American Sign Language Institute up their gangbanging the lingo for the hard of hearing.
