Social media erupts after far-left mayor gives victory speech in foreign language: ‘Humiliating’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Newly re-elected Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey is facing backlash from conservatives for giving a victory speech in Somali and saying that Minneapolis welcomes Somalians.
In a video of the speech posted online, Frey can be seen leading chants in Somali as the crowd responds and applauds.
Popular conservative influencer Paul Szypula ripped into the progressive mayor, writing, «The pandering here is insane.»
«Mayor Jacob Frey, as he won reelection, spoke almost a minute in Somalia then said Minneapolis belongs to Somalia,» said Szypula.

In a second round of nonpartisan ranked-choice voting, Frey narrowly defeated a challenge from socialist Minneapolis state Sen. Omar Fateh. Fateh is the first Somali American and first Muslim to serve in the state senate.
Fateh had the backing of the Twin Cities’ chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America and «Squad» member Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who represents Minneapolis in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Meanwhile, Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., who was former Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate last year and is up for re-election next year, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., endorsed Frey’s campaign this year.
While speaking with a crowd of Somali residents after his victory, Frey repeatedly thanked the crowd in Somali.

«To the great people of Minneapolis, and I say that very intentionally, because no matter where you are from, Minneapolis should be a place where you are proud to call home,» he said.
He then proceeded to list off a number of Somalian regions, saying, «Whether you are from Bosaso or Mogadishu, whether you are from Hargeisa or Garowe, whether you are from Beledweyne or southwest, Minneapolis is a place where you come to seek prosperity, where you come to raise your family.»
«Here is what this election means, this election means this is a moment for unity, where the entire Somali community can come together and say, ‘This is our people, this is our city, we are united behind each other,» he said.
Conservative pundit Gerry Callahan slammed Frey’s speech, saying, «This is an American politician, raised in America, educated in America, ostensibly representing Americans, prostrating himself in front of bunch of foreigners. Could be the most humiliating thing I’ve ever seen.»
Podcaster Matt Walsh also chimed in, writing, «As I have said many times now, politicians in this country should be required by law to speak English when addressing the public in an official capacity. There should never be a time when Americans can’t understand what their elected leaders are saying.»

This is not the first time Frey has garnered criticism over Somali-language political messaging. He was also widely criticized in September for releasing a campaign ad in Somali.
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, commented on the ad, saying, «This must be stopped.»
Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., also reacted to the ad, posting a disapproving gif.
Kari Lake simply wrote, «WTAF?» which is an acronym for «what the actual f—.»
Having entered office in 2018, Frey was elected to his third term as Minneapolis mayor on Tuesday. He is best known for marching with protesters during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots, which were particularly destructive in Minneapolis, the city in which George Floyd died. Frey was also seen kneeling and weeping by Floyd’s casket at a memorial service.

Violencia en el fútbol de Maldonado: un jugador fue imputado tras darle cabezazo a juez que le voló los dientes
El fútbol en el departamento de Maldonado volvió a ser noticia en Uruguay por terminar con incidentes.
Hace unos 20 días, un partido de la tercera división de Maldonado terminó con graves incidentes tras el golpe de cabeza de uno de los futbolistas de San Lorenzo contra el árbitro del partido Alexis Ferreira. El juez terminó con heridas en su boca y hasta perdió piezas dentales, al tiempo que el agresor debió ir a declarar este lunes a la Fiscalía y probablemente termine imputado por la agresión.
Ferreira, el árbitro del encuentro, contó entonces a la radio local Cadena del Mar que la agresión se dio al final del partido, después de que decidiera expulsar a dos jugadores que se acercaron a insultarlo. Durante el partido el ambiente ya había estado espeso: uno de los jugadores se había ido encima de él luego de una tarjeta amarilla. “Perdí piezas dentales, tuve mucha sangre y me sentí mareado. Fue muy fuerte”, señaló.
El agresor fue imputado este lunes por el delito de lesiones personales. Como medidas cautelares, se le impuso la prohibición de salir del país, de participar en actividades deportivas y de acercarse a menos de 500 metros de la víctima durante 120 días.
La abogada del futbolista, Karen Pintos, expresó tras la audiencia que su defendido “está dispuesto a colaborar” con los gastos del tratamiento al que debió someterse el árbitro, que sufrió una fractura nasal y perdió dos piezas dentales. Según consignó FM Gente, Pintos señaló que su cliente le pidió disculpas al agredido, algo que fue “bien recibido”.
Tras el fallo judicial, la Asociación de Árbitros de Maldonado Capital emitió un comunicado en el que expresa su conformidad con el fallo. “Consideramos que esta resolución marca un antes y un después para todo lo que concierne al deporte”, dice el texto.
Este fin de semana, en tanto, otra vez se viralizaron imágenes violentas: los jugadores terminaron arriba del techo de los vestuarios, tirándose palas y otros objetos.
El video fue difundido por el medio local FM Gente, que informó que los incidentes se dieron cuando terminó el encuentro entre Atlético Fernandino y San Carlos, que finalizó 2-2. Al momento en que los policías llegaron hasta el lugar, ya no quedaba nadie y tampoco se presentó ninguna denuncia.
En las imágenes se aprecia cómo los futbolistas treparon hasta el techo de los vestuarios, mientras desde abajo voló un balde, que no llegó a impactar en ninguno de los presentes. Otro de los jugadores arrojó un objeto que no se logra identificar en el video, mientras que uno de ellos tiró una pala de construcción, que tampoco llegó a agredir a ninguno de los presentes.
Otros de los asistentes observaban los disturbios detrás de un muro.
Este partido era por la Liga Mayor de Maldonado. Lo que generó los incidentes fue que algunos futbolistas que estaban en la cancha arremetieron contra los suplentes, que gritaban contra este equipo, informó el noticiero Telemundo de Canal 12. Las palas que se ven en el video estaban en el lugar porque hay obras de remodelación en la cancha.
Los vecinos y quienes estaban en la cancha fueron los que llamaron a la Policía, ante el temor que tenían de que la pelea terminara en una batalla campal. Sin embargo, los efectivos no arrestaron a nadie porque cuando llegaron hasta allí ya se habían ido todos.
Como no hubo denuncia policial, no se inició una investigación penal por estos incidentes. La Fiscalía uruguaya tiene la potestad de actuar de oficio ante situaciones de este tipo, pero hasta ahora no ha informado si lo hará.
En el fútbol de Maldonado piden una mayor presencia policial ante los incidentes que se han reiterado en las últimas jornadas. Incluso pretenden que esa presencia se concrete dentro de las canchas.

Kamala Harris-endorsed candidate in hot seat for million-dollar DC home hundreds of miles outside district
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: Former Vice President Kamala Harris’ pick for Massachusetts’ 6th Congressional District, Dan Koh, is facing scrutiny for owning a million-dollar home hundreds of miles from the district in Washington, D.C.
Koh, who held several senior roles in former President Joe Biden’s White House, is running in a crowded race to replace Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, who is running for the Senate. He has received the endorsement of Harris, who called him a «fighter» who «knows how to get things done.»
Though running in a suburban Massachusetts district, Koh and his wife own a $1.3 million home in a swanky neighborhood by Capitol Hill, which they purchased in 2022, according to the website for the D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue.
The two also own a home in Andover, Massachusetts, which sits within the 6th Congressional District, according to the North Essex Registry of Deeds. The Massachusetts home was purchased in 2019 for $810,000.

Amy Carnevale, chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party, knocked Koh over the home, telling Fox News Digital that «living full-time in D.C. with a no-show house in Massachusetts seems to be a family tradition amongst MassDems.»
She also criticized another Massachusetts Democrat, Sen. Ed Markey, who she said is «known in the Bay State as the ‘Senator from Chevy Chase,’» because he «is rarely seen in his alleged hometown in Massachusetts.»
«Dan Koh is now looking to follow in that tradition. What a shame for actual residents of Massachusetts who deserve better,» added Carnevale.
In response, a spokesperson for Koh’s campaign told Fox News Digital that «Dan lives full-time at his home in Andover, which he and his wife have owned for over 6 years.»

The spokesperson said that Koh «lived in D.C. during his time as a senior official in the White House during the Biden-Harris administration with his family.»
Tax documents available on the district’s Office of Tax and Revenue’s website show that Koh and his wife still own the D.C. home as of August.
Harris endorsed Koh on Oct. 28, saying: «During our time in the White House, I saw Dan’s steadfast drive to make life better — and more affordable — for working people.»
«He knows how to get things done, will be the fighter you deserve, and is ready on day one,» said Harris, adding, «I’m proud to endorse him and encourage everyone in Massachusetts’ 6th District to support his campaign.»

A statement by Koh’s campaign said that he is among the first candidates Harris has endorsed in the 2025-26 campaign cycle, which the campaign said demonstrates «the critical importance of electing a strong, effective Democratic leader to represent the 6th District.»
Koh said he is «honored that Vice President Harris has endorsed our campaign for Massachusetts’ 6th District,» adding, «I personally witnessed the Vice President’s tireless dedication to the American people every day in the administration.»

He added, «I’ll be ready on day one to bring the same brand of leadership to Capitol Hill, getting to work to deliver results for families of our commonwealth and our country.»
