Democrats are not handling last week’s ICE self-defense shooting in Minneapolis very well, and by “not very well” I mean they are spinning themselves into logical pretzels on national television. Instead of sticking to the basic facts, they are inventing increasingly bizarre explanations that insult the intelligence of anyone who has ever driven a car or watched a video.
The incident itself was straightforward. ICE agents were facing an aggressive mob situation when Renee Good got behind the wheel and attempted to run over officers. Video shows an agent directly in harm’s way as the vehicle accelerated. That is not ambiguous. That is not “confusing.” That is a deadly threat, and the agent responded accordingly. End of story, or it should have been.
Enter Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who responded not with leadership, but with a profanity-laced meltdown. At a press conference, Frey screamed at ICE to “get the f**k out of Minneapolis,” because apparently federal law enforcement enforcing federal law is now considered an invasion. That alone was reckless. But Frey was just getting warmed up.
On Sunday, CNN’s Jake Tapper gave Frey a chance to show even a shred of reflection. Did he regret his rhetoric? Frey said no. Then came the moment that turned a serious national discussion into an absurd punchline. Frey insisted that anyone with “two eyes” could see the woman was not a domestic terrorist. He then compared her actions to his wife doing a three or four point turn, claiming that if that qualifies as terrorism, his wife would be a criminal every day.
Mayor Jacob Frey refuses to take accountability for his violent rhetoric against ICE and continues to defend the lunatic who tried to run over ICE.

This was not just dishonest, it was ridiculous. In what universe is backing up on a one-way street and then slamming the accelerator toward an ICE agent the same as a routine three-point turn? The comparison only works if you ignore video evidence, common sense, and the definition of a three-point turn taught in every driver’s education class since the invention of the automobile.
It gets worse. Witnesses and footage captured Good’s wife yelling, “Drive, baby, drive,” right before the car lunged forward toward the agent. That is not parallel parking encouragement. That is incitement. Yet Frey pretended this was just an innocent driving maneuver gone tragically misunderstood.
Tapper, for his part, let the comment slide. No follow-up. No challenge. No basic question about how attempting to strike a law enforcement officer qualifies as everyday driving behavior. The moment passed, and the lie stood unchallenged on national television.
Social media, thankfully, was not as accommodating. Users across X mocked Frey mercilessly for redefining both driving and reality. When mayors start throwing their own spouses into absurd analogies to defend violent behavior, you know the narrative has collapsed.
Does your wife hit agents with every 3 point turn?

It wasn’t a 3 point turn!
If his wife does 1 everyday she has no business driving!

MAYOR JACOB FREY: "(Renee Good) was doing a three or a four or five-point turn… if doing a three point turn or a four point turn is a domestic terrorist and my wife is a criminal every single day,"
Mayor Frey doesn't know what a three-point turn is.

This is what happens when ideology overrides facts. Democrats would rather twist themselves into knots than admit that ICE agents acted in self-defense. And they expect the public to pretend that a violent attack was just a clumsy turn of the steering wheel. That might work on CNN. It does not work in the real world.
