      The Hill: Frey was asked about his position during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” with co-host Griff Jenkins on Fox News.
      Medialite: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) declared he does not support abolishing ICE in a preview of a Fox News interview set to air on Wednesday morning.
      Huffpost: Mayor Jacob Frey has a blunt message for the people who were offended by him telling Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to “get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”
      Washington Post: When asked during a CNN interview to respond to GOP criticism, Frey was unapologetic: “I’m so sorry if I offended their Disney princess ears.”

      I’m sorry, are these the articles you meant to link to? The first two literally (and fairly uncritically, I might add) just quote the Fox interview in question. The other two, well:

      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 don’t really think I need to do that now, given you just provided two excellent examples that your/Fox’s characterization of him isn’t accurate all on your own. (also they both don’t reference the above interview at all. Seriously were those the right ones?)

      Look, quittin’ in a huff has always been an option for you - and lets be honest, at this point crawling off in shame really looks like the best outcome you’re going to get with this. I welcome it, have a good time, give my fondest regards to your friends the fox news hosts.
