While the allegations of rampant fraud in Minnesota to the tune of billions of taxpayer dollars should be investigated and the alleged perpetrators prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, some forms of fraud don't require an investigation to be able to clearly spot from a mile away, and I'm talking about the America-last fraudster otherwise known as Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
As RedState has documented, the Democrat mayor has become the panderer in chief of the city that just reelected him, getting on one knee and supposedly crying for several minutes in front of George Floyd's coffin in 2020. He also routinely uses a foreign language - Somali - to address the large number of Somalians in his city amid allegations that much of the fraud was perpetrated by members of that very community, one whose flag he has also enthusiastically waved around. Some political observers have pointedly described Frey's pathetic displays as "humiliation rituals."

Video of one such humiliation ritual went viral in early December for reasons that should be obvious. Again, we've reported on this, but it's useful to watch again in the context of the more recent example, which will follow:
LMAO! 🤣

In response to that, I wrote that people claim Frey "has" to do this because Somalis are a big part of his constituency. But there is a big - YUGE - difference in merely showing respect for different cultures in your country and essentially ceding your city/state/country to them because those cultures refuse to assimilate into ours.
The latest instance comes courtesy of a Frey-produced video that is making the rounds in which he is expressing solidarity with the Hispanic community while at times speaking in Spanish and at other times emotionally "bonding" with the hosts of the program in which he appeared:
"Let me tell you very clearly: I am proud to have you in our city, to call you my neighbor, to call you my family," Frey told La Raza listeners in the video. "We don't back down when it comes to helping our family. You all make our city a better place."
He added the Latino community "can feel safe calling 911, because the [Minneapolis Police Department] (MPD) does not do immigration enforcement work," noting "their job is to keep people safe."
[...]
Frey then hugged a man sitting next to him at the table during the video, saying, "You've got a lot of people that care about you. You're brave and you're tough."
He also grabbed the man's hand and put his arm around him during the videotaped discussion. Frey started the video speaking Spanish but then appeared to switch to using his phone to translate the conversation.
Watch (update: Frey has since deleted the video from his official X page; this is the only other tweet I could find that had it):

The only thing missing was the infamous Jill Biden breakfast taco.
I know I sound like a broken record here, but I'll say it again: Frey is emblematic of a larger problem within the Democrat Party, where, for all too many, America comes second to pandering to illegal immigrants for votes.
If you're an elected official and you're often seen proudly flying the flag of another country in your own and are speaking that country's language more than you are your own, not to mention you're siding with criminal illegals over American citizens, you've demonstrated you are a sellout of the highest order. Period. End of story.
Editor’s Note: Democrat politicians and their radical supporters will do everything they can to interfere with and threaten ICE agents enforcing our immigration laws.
