BRENNAN: You said 'occupying force.' Don't you think that's a bit much? FREY: When you have 3,000 ICE agents and CBP come to your city, when you've got this supposed threat of 1,500 military coming to your city, that's very much what it feels like

This is just such an irresponsible question. Thousands of federal agents are abducting people including citizens, beating them, demanding their papers, shooting people, maiming people, using weapons of war on the population, and you think "occupying force" is too much? WTF went wrong with her?

Why are blue states targeted Because this is " retribution " Why do red ststes soend x3 pn prisons as on schools. Republicans make money from giving these prisons socialism

JFC that question is the sole reason we are here right now. The MSM is unwilling to call this administration and its behavior what it is. A fascist occupying regime, that’s set up to terrorize the citizenry into submission. Fuck them!!

I always found them a bit too conservative for my taste but factual and neutral enough to keep differing points of view "digestible." That's done. They cancelled Colbert then they sullied 60 Minutes. I'm already out. All these boycotts and cancelled subscriptions are tiresome. And disappointing. 😕

I wish he had just said, "No. It is an accurate description of the situation." C'mon, people. It's not college with minimum word counts. Short, clear, to the point. Soundbites.

Brennan - I can’t let you be mean to the fascists, or Bari will fire my ass. And where can a girl with no talent beyond picking out snappy looking suits make my kind of money? So I’m down with the fascists. Also Margaret, why not go to Minnesota and see for yourself. You have a credit card.

The city has 600 cops total. Why are 3.000 ICE agents needed to enforce a civil matter for a much smaller subset of the population?

Walz and Frey need to start every conversation with: 1. what ICE is doing is not legal. 2. how ICE is doing it’s illegal actions is also not legal. And proceed from there. Fuck “training”. The actions themselves are illegal, regardless of how poorly they are performed.

CBS is toast. Actually, MSM is toast. Most young people don’t have cable and don’t watch any of the major networks. I’m not young, but don’t have cable and don’t watch these idiotic interviews asking beyond dumb, and slanted questions. These shows add nothing to the conversation.

More than that, they give republicans an excuse for their fascist actions by making it seem like Dems are overreacting. They may be losing viewers, but the millions who still watch MSM are influenced by the both sides, it’s just TDS, argument. Shameful.

And it's crazy the criticism he is getting from his city with people who keep saying "DO SOMETHING" without thinking through the situation and that this is a rock and three hard places, no matter which way he goes further bloodshed and chaos is almost guaranteed. 1/2

Especially having grown up in a "free country". Listening to these same occupiers beating their chests about government, and then they suddenly turning on women, children, and the elderly.... Because apparently they think only THEIR freedom will endure.

That's exactly what it is. Against our own American citizens. This isn't getting the worst of the worst out of our country. It's a war against our own people. The GOP should be just as outraged about this as they are about the threat to Greenland.

The citizens and local government don't want them there. The issue they are supposedly addressing would end if they left. They are controlling citizens rights with violence WHAT THE FUCK IS IT IF NOT AN OCCUPYING FORCE?

The kindest thing you can say is it’s her job to play devil’s advocate. Provided she does the same to KKKaroline and company. But Bari Weiss can choke on chicken feet for all I care.

It's called a military occupation! "Military occupation, also called belligerent occupation, is a temporary hostile control exerted by a ruling power's military apparatus over a sovereign territory that is outside the legal boundaries of that ruling power's own sovereign territory."

They even have a name for the operation (Operation Metro Surge) just like we when we went to war in the ME. We had "surges" at various points in Iraq and Afghanastan. They're not exactly hiding their intentions that this is an occupation of a US city.

This is absolutely an occupation. When America won the revolutionary war, British loyalists were punished or exiled. This is what the MAGAts and anyone else supports this has coming to them eventually. We will prevail over this ignorant despot. Sorry, MN, that your state is the first battleground.

What a dumb question. She should have simply asked,” Why did you use the term” occupying force” and left off the snarky,” Don’t you think that’s a bit much?” So tone deaf of her.

Fuck you Brennan. Good's death is on your head like all of commercial media who have prepared the ground so such things could happen. I hope you f****** can't live with the guilt you f****** b****, your mealy mouth b******* is part of the problem.

I know CBS is de facto Trump state media now but is it just me, or is its new logo a bit over the top? That earthquake you’re feeling right now is Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite (plus untold others) spinning in their graves.

On the plus side, this regime is allowing some very brave governors and mayors to show us what they are made of. I would have never heard of Mr Frey and now I’d like to see him run for senate or Congress.

This always happens- The tendency of moderates or centrists to seemingly discount the rise of authoritarianism—or, more accurately, to fail to treat it as an existential emergency—stems from a combination of institutional, psychological, and strategic factors.

Trump's got all the news on his side. They're being too careful in what they say and what questions they ask. Nobody will fight him except for the late night talks-how hosts.

Many people here cannot go to work, to the store, or outside without being threatened with a swift and violent detention and possible deportation. If that is not an occupation, I don't know what is.

We must continue to call things what they are: ICE = Gestapo Sending the US military against the America people = occupation Masked men asking to see your papers = fascism Shooting an unarmed woman in her own car = murder Targeting people based on the color of their skin or language = racism

Please stand with Minnesota during the economic blackout that Faith leaders, union representatives and community members are calling for. A Day of Truth and Freedom on Friday, Jan. 23

I think Ms. Brennan should spend a week in Minneapolis as an observer, without a massive crew. She should see what's happening on the streets and how ICE is behaving towards protesters and bystanders before passing this judgement.

Brennan, when phrasing is more important than rights. The same "journalist" that folded like a card table after Noem said "DON'T SAY HIS NAME!" because Brennan named Jonathan Ross, the murderous ICE agent Noem's hiding. @cbsnews.com, when kneeling to fascists is more important than news.

When you use chemicals and stun grenades against U.S. citizens, and tell them to go home instead of speak out, or " haven't you learned from what just happened", yeah, I'd say occupying force.

Mr.Frey is absolutely correct.What this regime is doing is to purposely instill fear and terror towards everyone no matter what their citizen status. The government works for the people and they should be doing everything they can to instill a sense of competence not hatred & revenge

We are hearing from citizens who live there how ICE tactics are disrupting life there. There's no doubt the great majority of people there want ICE gone. At this point, there's no good reason for ICE to be there.

Why are you talking about Frey? What about that idiot Brennan asking “Don’t you think that’s a bit much?” 3,000 ICE agents descending on one American city? THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IMMIGRATION! Minneapolis is Stephen Miller’s experiment. The targets are the Americans protesting. This is FACISM.

It is truly worrying how ICE is knocking door to door and detaining people despite being legal in the US. Is the kind of city, state and country we want to build? Where people are afraid of going to school. #JusticeForReneeGood #RemoveTrumpFromOffice #DefundTrump
