Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey claimed \u201cthey\u201d were \u201ccoming after\u201d Somalis because of their entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

Speaking to a crowd at the Somali Networking Night event at the end of September, Frey predictably pandered to the audience by downplaying legitimate concerns of fraud and reducing critics to jealous haters.<\/p>\n

Minneapolis Mayor Frey: \u201cThey come after Somalis because you\u2019re future CEOs and entrepreneurs\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, that 67 IQ is very intimidating https:\/\/t.co\/4gHaPZm8hS<\/p>\n

\u201cI think one of the reasons that they were coming after you is, they saw the kind of economy and entrepreneurship that you\u2019re helping to build. They saw, suddenly, that the CEOs of the future are not all gonna look like me. 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\u2019re not just the CEOs and entrepreneurs of tomorrow, but of right now. You are showing that.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Somalia had a abundance of CEO\u2019s, Entrepreneurs, Doctors and Lawyers, then why couldn\u2019t they enrich or better the standard of living in Somalia? pic.twitter.com\/pyXAUL7eEB<\/a><\/p>\n

If Somalis do so well, why is Somalia doing so poorly?<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t make sense.<\/p>\n

No, we come after them because of their crime, fraud, lack of integration, being a net drain on Minnesota tax payers, and their shitty beliefs.<\/p>\n

Mayor Frey is not entirely wrong, they futureCEOs of fraudulent daycare and hospice centers.<\/p>\n

Yes, Somali successes. So many Learing Centers of excellence, remitting billions to Somalia.<\/p>\n

Jacob Frye is gaslighting again. Somalis are the biggest fraudsters in America and have an average IQ of 80.<\/p>\n

But we\u2019re to believe they are our future leaders.\"\ud83d\ude02\"<\/p>\n
