WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature? FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

The answer is: No. We didn't turn the temperature up. That's on the Trump administration. They want less violence they need to withdraw ICE from our cities. And still FUCK ICE and the pedophiles they rode in on.

FUCK is a word. Often gets used when masked men playing law enforcement shoot women in the face, then the government lies about it. GET THE FUCK OVER IT ALREADY.

His response should’ve been/. “We’re talking about a word vs a dead innocent citizen. Why the FUCK are you not outraged”

Trump, Noem, ICE. These are the people responsible for bringing the temperature up. It is not for those who have been victimized to bring the temperature down.

Responsibility? Is Welker high? Hasn’t she noticed the the ICE agent murdered a woman and the administration is covering up?!? Wtf is wrong w this ppl..,

Doug Profitt
@doug-profitt.bsky.social

There is NO SUCH THING as “bringing the temperature down.” ICE wants to shoot people in the face, as evidenced by hundreds of hours of video. Being calm and polite will NOT stop them from shooting people in the face.

If Jewish people weren't so Jewish maybe their temples would be firebombed less. How uppity was George Floyd being. But what were the girls wearing when they met trump. Maybe she'd be beaten less if dinner tasted better. The puppy shouldn't have been near Noem in the first place.

Kristin Walker, you have a bigger responsibility to report this murder as an alarming fascist takeover of our streets! Pretend that this is 1939 in Europe. Talk about the war my father fought in against dangerous Nazis. And how Real patriots fully supported the Allies’ efforts. Jeezus !!!!

Shame on the media for whitewashing what this administration is doing. They executed a woman and you’re mad he swore?! STOP PEARL CLUTCHING. Frey could’ve went harder in the paint so they need to stop acting like he’s the one w the gun.

Meet the Press with the “both sides” bullshit. They called Renee Good a Domestic Terrorist before she was even removed from the car. Thanks Aaron for watching this shit so we don’t have to.

Yep. I tried to engage someone yesterday who said that the victim, Walz and other Dems are to blame for telling us to "fight federal agents" (of course not true, unlike w Trump on 1/6/21). No amount of logic made a dent. I don't think it was a bot - just an 🍑hole who has fully bought the narrative.

My wife shared a message from "Next Door" in Litt. CO from a woman who wasn't sure what the protests at S. Bdwy & Litt. Blvd are @ but she was offended by the "coarse" language & her grand children hearing it! IMHO she is in a bubble of her own making & hasn't figured out we are in a crisis!

Aster Vérité
@aster-verite.bsky.social

FACT: There is nothing a municipal or state politician, in jurisdictions which ICE have invaded, can do to bring down the temperature when the regime is ramping up the violence of their reign of terror, and has the disinformation blast furnaces on high.... GFY Welker

Wayne Maye
@wdmaye84.bsky.social

She is. It was either in 2022 or 2023 when she was at the White House, and of all the questions she could've asked President Biden, she asked for his thoughts on the war or words Trump and DeSantis were having at the time, and she had this look on her face like she accomplished something.

WeirwoodTreeHugger
@weirwoodtreehug.bsky.social

I'd say she's excellent at her job. The role of Sunday political talk shows is to push the priorities of the wealthy and powerful. Right now, their priority is crushing dissent so that the senile and demented president can keep giving them tax cuts and deregulation in peace.

Linda 568
@lindaof568.bsky.social

I don’t watch any of these shows anymore—I stopped when Chuck Todd became unwatchable. Tried again with Welker. I think I made it 2 Sundays. Now I just read how bad she still is on Bluesky each week.

Just Joe
@justjoe31.bsky.social

She's nothing more than a fascist collaborator. Journalists and reporters are meant to hold those in power to account. Here she is placing more responsibility on the mayor who used a curse word than the federal government who assassinated a US citizen in broad daylight and is actively covering it up

Leftist Logician (she/her)
@leftistlogician.bsky.social

And this right here is why Democrats do that "strongly worded letter" language Bluesky crybitches about. Because they know full well this kind of tone-policing is going to happen if they don't do that formal phrasing, and they would rather get to focus on actual content.

Leftist Logician (she/her)
@leftistlogician.bsky.social

Real talk, it gets to me how many times people complain about Democrats doing "strongly worded letters", but then suggest actions that are, when you boil it down, *also* just strongly worded letters. So they're really fine with those so long as they're done specific ways or by their pet faves. :P

Joseph
@pow35.bsky.social

How dare a mayor openly says profanity? Can he not tell that that the ICE shooter almost dropped his cellphone while shooting? Do you realize the cost of those cellphone?

Aleksa Milićević
@aleksa-milicevic.bsky.social

Outrageous. Absolutely outrageous. They tried the “bring down the temperature” shtick on Pelosi, *back in the mid-2000s*. It failed then, too. Shameless billionaires and conglomerates want to shame any form of resistance to lawlessness, to incompetence, to fascism into complete disappearance.

Ouisiem
@ouisiem.bsky.social

Focusing on “civility” is ALWAYS what these ghouls and their mouthpieces do. Welker did not HAVE to ask a question abt the least impt part of this incident, unless her overlords said to.

@hillz8.bsky.social

I hate how the media both sides this! The orange fat fuk is in charge he’s created this mess because he is an incompetent hateful fool, the temperature will never come down while ever he and his regime is in charge! The f bomb was totally justified!

A.F. Combat
@afcombat.bsky.social

Is everyone replying insane? Frey has already answered this question in other interviews, so NBC basically knows what his reply will be. They're asking that question not to trip him up, but to get his answer--which is a damn good one!-- on their broadcast and to be part of the Sunday news cycle.

Miss Huston
@misshuston.bsky.social

Sorry, but Republicans see that question as a criticism of Frey and they like it. She is pandering. We see it as a criticism of Frey, also, and that is unwarranted.

David Walker
@davidwgw.bsky.social

Also - the killing happened first and was the understandable reason for the “fuck”. Talk about false equivalence! Who writes these stupid, insulting questions?

athaclenas.bsky.social
@athaclenas.bsky.social

The proper responses are either "For fuck's sake, its a word vs a woman losing her like. Fucking get over it" or "So the nursery rhyme 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me" is lost by everyone. Repeat every time asked.

LauraD-in-Indy
@laurad-in-indy.bsky.social

This is typical MAGAt/GOP hypocrisy! Kristi Noem inflamed the situation first and worst by slandering a dead woman about whom she. knew nothing as a "domestic terrorist" who "attacked" agents allegedly rendered helpless by a "car stuck in the snow". The videos never showed any of that.

The Fifth Dentist
@fifthdentist.bsky.social

Welker, focusing on what is the truly important issue here. Public officials swearing is a much bigger problem than the government murdering citizens. Somewhere, a tear of pride trickles down Tom Nichols' face.

ksrnow
@ksrnow.bsky.social

Can't watch Welker. Can't listen to Welker. Can't understand why she isn't called out mire often. NBC traveling that dangerous path to dictator appeasement.

Democracy Matters
@jmal52.bsky.social

Who writes Welker's questions? They are designed to incite outrage so she can get higher ratings. <hint> most people don't watch her because she is so bad at this. She is no Tim Russert.

H.L. Mencken..ish
@navlaw.bsky.social

He should double down and not defend himself, which accepts the premise of the question, which is false. He should have said "yes, and the way to do that is for ICE to get the fuck out of Minneapolis today. Don't they bear responsibility for their violence and incitement of violence? "

Stephanie Rewis
@stefsull.bsky.social

Their President and VP say Fuck. The killer said Fuck right after he murdered her. But clutch your pearls — the mayor dropped the F-bomb (why is it a bomb when he uses it?).

Mr. Rochester 📎🇨🇦
@mrrochester.bsky.social

Why the weak, “Of course”? No, Frey, you do not need to “bring down the temperature.” This is why the left/centre will never truly fight Trump/MAGA: the ridiculous notion that, “We are better; we need to keep peaceful.” It’s time to increase the temperature, and jump enthusiastically into the mud.

Rook
@justrook.bsky.social

Nothing says turning down the temperature like threatening the Minn National Guard on your own people if they don't protest the right way.

A M E N D E A D A L I V E
@thatamenkid.bsky.social

Remember when someone politely pointed out that bombing fishing boats was extrajudicial MURDER, and JD Vance said “I don’t give a shit?” Cuz we really should be bringing that kind of thing up more often. Double for Hegseth’s bullshit.

Elizabeth Bisbee
@bisbee4148.bsky.social

The desperation w/which these media figures cling to a Democrat using profanity (certainly, they don’t clutch their pearls when the fuhrer regularly does it) makes me crazy. This isn’t fair-mindedness. It’s blind obeisance to a regime narrative that is demonstrably, insultingly, maddeningly false.
