‘Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey’ found a colourful way to tell US vice-president JD Vance what he thinks of him. Sadly, the account is a parody.
Vance, like his boss and other Trump lackeys, has been lying that Frey and Minnesota governor Tim Walz have banned police from helping ICE thugs. Frey (the real one) had in fact said that the police’s job is to protect citizens, not enforce federal immigration:
If only the real Minneapolis mayor was like this…
Vance’s nonsense raises the question: if armed and murderous ICE thugs need police protection, what use are they except to terrorise ordinary people? But the parody Frey’s response was far pithier:
This is a lie.
Even if I had ordered this, the MPLS police department would never follow an order from me.

This would be an entirely appropriate level of contempt – in fact, quite restrained. The thousands of ‘likes’, shares and positive comments the X post received suggest many agree, though it’s unclear how many respondents thought it was the real Fry.
How much better would US (and UK) politics be if politicians spoke like real people to the fools running (read: ruining) our countries?
