It's been a while since we've heard from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who has made a name for himself by attacking ICE and pandering to the illegal aliens in his city, including the Somali community — where many bad actors have stolen billions in tax dollars from hard working Minnesotans.

Mayor Jacob Frey says the reason people are "coming after" Somalis is because they "saw the type of economy and entrepreneurship" they are trying to build and that Somalis are the "CEOs of the future".

"They saw suddenly that the CEOs of the future are not all gonna look like me," Frey continued, "the CEOs of the future are going to be from a thousand different backgrounds. And so, suddenly, you all are creeping up in brilliant fashion. You're not just the CEOs and entrepreneurs of tomorrow, but of right now. You are showing that."

More than 80 percent of Somali-led households are on welfare. So they're not even working at McDonald's, let alone being CEOs and entrepreneurs.
That number goes up for households with children, where nearly 90 percent get welfare.
According to Census ACS data (2014-2023) analyzed by CIS, 81% of Somali immigrant-headed households in Minnesota receive some form of welfare (cash, SNAP, or Medicaid), vs 21% of native households. 54% get SNAP, 73% Medicaid. For households with children: 89%. Minnesota state…

CEOs and entrepreneurs don't need SNAP or rent assistance or Medicaid.

Apparently.
It’s hard to tell whether he knows he is pandering to the point of absurdity, or if he genuinely believes what he is saying https://t.co/37i3WIqjiR

He absolutely believes this. Delusion runs deep.
So is that why Somalia is so poor? https://t.co/QhaMTX11B3

All the CEOs and entrepreneurs came here, apparently. Maybe we should send them back to help Somalia.
