Despicable: Dems Use America’s Fallen Heroes to Bash Trump On Memorial Day

What made the situation even more striking to critics was that Frey reportedly waited roughly three hours before acknowledging Memorial Day itself, eventually posting what opponents blasted as a generic, low-effort graphic only after facing heavy backlash online.

The City of Minneapolis also drew criticism for joining in what opponents described as performative political messaging. Critics noted that while city officials found time for leftist-themed posts, the city’s official accounts had still failed to publish any meaningful Memorial Day tributes.

Today, we remember George Floyd, who was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer six years ago.

That moment changed our city forever.
