Minneapolis City Council VP Andrea Jenkins Says Activists Held Her Captive
By Reg Chapman
MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (WCCO) — A Minneapolis city leader says she is traumatized after protesters held her against her will.
City Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins says activists held her captive in her car for 90 minutes, while forcing her to agree to their demands.
Activist Donald Hooker Jr. — one of the activist seen on video confronting Jenkins — says he asked her about police accountability, defunding police and returning George Floyd Square to the people.
“We were having a conversation. I was trying to keep her accountable, and I said, ‘Well, we we’ll just have to show up and do a protest at your house, a friendly protest,’ and then that’s when she blew up in my face,” Hooker Jr. said.
