Democratic Mayor Asking for $55 Million Federal Bailout to Repair Race Riot Damages
Now, he wants the taxpayer to pay for the riots.
Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey is ordering city officials to begin a wide-ranging query of the damage done to the city?s infrastructure from the race riots that began last week after the death of George Floyd, planning on requesting a federal bailout for the city to repair the damages done by ?protestors.?
Early preliminary estimates gauge the price tag of property damage from the riots at more than $55 million dollars. Frey is already working with U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar and representatives Ilhan Omar and Betty McCollum on a potential bailout package for the city.
Curiously, Frey seemed a lot less concerned about the economic and property damage impacts of the race riots when they were actually happening. Even the Democratic Governor of Minnesota, who proved almost equally inept at preventing mass destruction and controlling the volatile situation, slammed Frey for his refusal to deter the large crowds of criminal rioters, calling the city?s response to the riots an ?abject failure.? Frey rebuffed suggestions to deploy the Minnesota National Guard before caving and giving in.
In a remarkable display of irresponsibility, the liberal Democrats cheering on rioting and property damages aren?t even willing to pay for the damages enacted in their own communities. As it turns out, the buck stops with the American taxpayer, many of whom they?d gladly point to as ones whom they?re protesting.
