Minneapolis City Council member makes expletive-laden attack on Frey, Trump, fascism at Uptown music fest [View all]

Minneapolis City Council Member Aisha Chughtai didn’t hold back over the weekend as she unleashed an expletive-laden attack on Mayor Jacob Frey at an appearance during SPI Fest, an Uptown music festival.

Chughtai, who is the council vice president and represents Ward 10 in the central part of the city, made a brief on-stage appearance at the Green Room during the neighborhood festival, where she made her pointed comments and threw her support behind mayoral candidate Omar Fateh.

“We are going to transform this city,” Chughtai said. “F--- Jacob Frey, f--- fascism and f--- Donald Trump.”
The profane outburst was widely denounced Tuesday by other City Council members, the mayor and by the woman hoping to unseat Chughtai in the elections this fall, Lydia Millard.
