‘Sorry I Offended Their Delicate Ears!’ Mayor Jacob Frey Scoffs at Critics Slamming Him for Telling ICE ‘Get the F Out of Minneapolis’

The Mayor of Minneapolis scoffed at critics who believe he took the temperature too high following Wednesday’s fatal shooting in his city by an ICE agent.
In an interview Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press, Kristen Welker pressed Mayor Jacob Frey (D) about the comments he made in the immediate aftermath of Wednesday’s shooting.
“To ICE: Get the f*ck out of Minneapolis!” Frey said Wednesday. “We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite. People are being hurt, families are being ripped apart. Long-term Minneapolis residents that have contributed so greatly to our city, to our culture, to our economy, are being terrorized; and now, somebody is dead. That’s on you.”....
“Protests here in Minneapolis are peaceful,” Frey said. “We had, I don’t know, 10,000 or so people that were protesting and marching yesterday. And virtually all of it was a very peaceful expression of First Amendment rights. And, you know, to those that are offended, I’m sorry I offended their delicate ears! But as far as who inflamed the situation, you know, I dropped an F bomb. And they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here — not the F bomb which I’m sure we’ve all heard before.”
