If Fox wanted to misrepresent his views, they’d cut out the ‘don’t’ and claim he does support abolishing ICE. That’s beneficial to their goal to claiming opposition is by domestic terrorists.
Your grasp of media literacy is impressively nonexistent. Because again, they are verbatim the Mayor’s words. Not taken out of context.
Is your point that the mayor is a Nazi? Because again, and I don’t get why you can’t comprehend this, they are his own words.
If your point is that he’s a Nazi because his doesn’t support the abolition of ICE, then I wouldn’t really disagree. That’s why I likened it to an American version of liberal Zionism.
If your point is that he’s not liable for his own words because he said them on Fox, you’re an idiot.
It’s literally his own words, that have been reported on my multiple outlets, not Fox misrepresenting his words after-the-fact.
Did you not read the articles? Or watch the interview? Or do you also not support abolishing ICE?
His own words, which I quoted.
The interview has been reported by multiple outlets, none of which have provided anything that show his quotes are out of context.
That’s your claim, you try to find the context. I’ve already tried, and found none.
What point? You said that the quote was out of context and not representative of his actual views. You didn’t provide anything to support that point. I looked for any more context and found none. I found nothing to indicate this his actual view is contrary to his statements.
From the interview
Jenkins asked Frey whether he supports abolishing ICE in their interview, which will air in full on Wednesday at 8 a.m. EST.
“I do not support abolishing ICE,” Frey said. “However, I absolutely oppose the way that this administration is conducting themselves with ICE. Look, there are a number of entities presently, agencies at the federal government that are—”
“But isn’t that what your lawsuit is about, stopping ICE right now?” Jenkins interrupted.
“No, you should read the lawsuit,” Frey said. “The lawsuit says that, hey, you know — ICE doing ICE stuff is not what we’re talking about right now. Again, we’ve had ICE in our city before, we’ve had ICE in our state before. It is the fact that, look, right now, there are, there’s about 3,000 federal ICE agents in our city between ICE and Border Patrol. You know how many police officers that we have? 600. The kind of duress that our city is experiencing because of this is magnified.”
He explicitly says he does not support abolishing ICE. If you can find any evidence that this that isn’t his position, please share. I haven’t been able to find any.
From what I can find, it seems like his issues with ICE is that they aren’t doing the ethnic cleansing campaigns the legal way, and are causing too much unrest with their show of force. But maybe I missed something
Seems like he doesn’t have a problem with how ICE has operated in Minneapolis in the past, but only now, because there’s been enough public pushback
If he doesn’t support abolishing the Gestapo, he doesn’t have much issue with the harm they cause when it isn’t on the front page.
ICE is a fascist organization, he doesn’t support getting rid of it, he only supports toning the violence down a notch. Otherwise, he would support abolishing ICE
“I don’t support abolishing the Gestapo, I just wish they would conduct themselves better”
Focusing on how the aesthetics of the harm is perceived, instead of having issue with the fundamental harm, is not left or progressive in any capacity. It’s the same bullshit as liberal Zionism, just the US version.

They aren’t simply ‘happy to see’ like some kind of observer, they are actively co-opting genuine protests for their own ends, at the expense of the Iranian people.
I’m all for Iranian people plotting their own course
The problem is that the US/Israel isn’t and will do everything they can to plot their own course instead
Both can be true, it’s annoying some people can’t understand that
I shouldn’t be difficult to understand that the Iranian people have legitimate grievances and support their right to demand change, while also understanding that US and Israeli forces are doing whatever they can to co-opt the protests for their own foreign policy goal
451·4 days agoCrazy how easy it is to win over voters by focusing on anti-fascism and affordability instead of just “I’m not the other guy”
So easy even a brown muslim socialist in the heart of America could do it
Yup, The Hill, Medialite, Huffpost, Washington Post, are all also Fox. You’re so smart.
You’ve provided ZERO evidence that his view on not supporting the abolition is ICE is misrepresented. So stop running defence for a fucked up position.
I’m done with this asinine conversation.
