Leftist Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey triggered a massive wave of online fury Monday morning after using a day reserved for honoring America’s fallen military service members to instead memorialize George Floyd.
“Today, we remember George Floyd, who was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer six years ago,” Frey posted on X, completely ignoring the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for American freedom. The leftist mayor went on to drone about “painful truths,” “policing,” and “global significance,” essentially treating the federal holiday like a taxpayer-funded advertisement for his city’s Black Lives Matter re-education camp.

Today, we remember George Floyd, who was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer six years ago.   That moment changed our city forever.

The backlash was instant, fierce, and entirely deserved. Critics quickly reminded the gutless mayor that Memorial Day belongs to heroes — not to a man with a lengthy rap sheet that included a 2007 aggravated robbery where Floyd pointed a gun at a pregnant woman&#8217;s belly.
“Memorial Day is sacred ground for honoring American heroes who gave their lives for this country, not thugs,” blasted former United States Air Force pilot Buzz Patterson. “Clown Mayor Jacob Frey&#8230; hijacks it to worship George Floyd — a violent career criminal, armed robber, fentanyl-filled junkie who overdosed while fighting cops. This gutless mayor just spat in the face of every fallen soldier and their grieving families.”

Investigative reporter Sarah Fields drew a heartbreaking contrast between the holiday’s true meaning and Frey’s woke pandering. “You remember a guy who died of an overdose who pointed a gun at a pregnant woman,” Fields fired back. “I remember my best friend, who was sniped through the head during the last month of her deployment. This is why we will never find common ground.”

Commentator Matt van Swol didn&#8217;t mince words either, calling Frey a “vile piece of s***” and demanding, “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!!!”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
It’s Memorial Day you vile piece of shit.
Today is when we remember our fallen military service men who GAVE THEIR LIVES DEFENDING THE COUNTRY!!!!!!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!!!

The historical reality of George Floyd has long been sanitized by the Left, but the cold hard facts remain. While former officer Derek Chauvin was convicted in the death, the autopsy revealed Floyd had zero damage to his trachea. Instead, the multi-convicted felon was packed to the gills with lethal levels of fentanyl, suffered from a severe preexisting heart condition, and was already screaming “I can’t breathe” while resisting arrest inside the police cruiser.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Never forget that Jacob Frey showed up to cry over the casket of George Floyd, a violent career criminal who died of a drug overdose
His outrage is as fake as his tears. <a href="https://t.co/ihVrxKUjtK">https://t.co/ihVrxKUjtK</a> <a href="https://t.co/SzxsZM4KKf">pic.twitter.com/SzxsZM4KKf</a>

Floyd’s 2020 death was used by agitators to launch a summer of nationwide anarchist riots. The resulting BLM circus completely leveled parts of Minneapolis and left a trail of destruction across America. At least 15 people were killed, thousands of businesses — many minority-owned — were looted and torched, and insurance companies racked up a staggering $2 billion in damages, leaving cities scarred for a generation.
Realizing he had stepped into a PR woodchipper, a panicked Frey tried to execute a desperate U-turn two and a half hours later. He hastily posted a boilerplate tribute to the military, writing that we owe service members “our deepest gratitude.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Memorial Day is a time to remember the brave service members who gave their lives for our country and the freedoms we enjoy today.
We owe them — and the families who carry their memory forward — our deepest gratitude. <a href="https://t.co/v8I2tuzr77">pic.twitter.com/v8I2tuzr77</a>
