Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey tried to join a state fair music moment and wound up feeding conservative mockery after video showed him moving through a rigid dance in front of an emcee.

The 45-year-old Democrat was at the Black Entrepreneur State Fair last week, wearing a pale button-down shirt tucked into gray khakis as he walked toward the emcee with his hands kept behind his back.

When hip hop music played, Frey attempted to copy the energy around him, shifting his hips and shoulders in a way critics quickly turned into a running joke about Democratic politicians trying too hard in public.

Political commentator Gunther Eagleman tied the dance to complaints about Minneapolis under progressive leadership, calling Frey a “dork” and arguing that the mayor’s public moves looked worse against the city’s problems.

“This DORK who can’t run a city apparently can’t stop busting moves either,” Eagleman wrote. “Awkward, stiff, painful-looking dancing at public events while Minneapolis deals with the fallout of progressive policies.”

Eagleman said Frey’s dance fit a pattern of performance replacing competence.

“When the results are bad, break out the white-man shuffle and hope the Internet forgets the crime, the disorder and the failed governance,” he wrote.

He also compared Frey’s public dancing with President Donald Trump’s, saying Trump “does it as a spoof” while “these guys do it like it’s a lifestyle.”

“Voters aren’t buying the pity dance. They want competence, not choreography,” Eagleman wrote. “Stop dancing and start governing, DORK.”

Benny Johnson mocked Frey by reaching for an earlier food-related jab at the mayor.

“Why are they always like this? This is almost worse than when he pretended the Somali food he was choking down his throat was delicious,” Johnson wrote. “He’s a walking humiliation ritual.”

Outkick’s Ian Miller turned the dance into a wider insult about Democrats as performers.

“One of the worst parts of Democrats becoming the party of theater kids isn’t just that they’re destroying American cities, it’s that they were clearly the worst and least talented theater kids, which is why they went into politics,” Miller wrote.

Frey’s fair appearance was not the only Minnesota Democrat clip giving critics material.

Gov. Tim Walz recently posted a video from Northwest Angle Country Club in Minnesota, praising what he called “top-notch golf in the Northwest Angle.”

The governor’s video gave viewers a strange course setup before the score even mattered.

Walz played on “sand greens,” not traditional grass putting surfaces. The putting area was made from sand and gravel, while his tee spot looked closer to rough than a standard box.

Flies buzzed around him during the video as he said he hit a 220-yard drive and ended the hole with a two-putt bogey.

One viewer zeroed in on the tee area. “Tee out of the rough… just when you thought this guy couldn’t get any worse,” the commenter wrote.

Another questioned the drive. “Damn commie Waltz even lies about his golf game. 220 yds… maybe 160 at best,” the person wrote.

A third viewer mocked both the game and the governor’s priorities.

“That’s nice. Tim has invented ‘Pickle Golf’, a less strenuous game for those with diminished skills and capacity,” the commenter wrote. “I’d also think that he should be governing, or at least act like it.”

Walz’s swing also got picked apart, with some comparing his movement to the “Tin Man.”

“Tim Walz posted his golf swing and it’s EXACTLY what you’d expect from a LOW-T beta male,” one user wrote. “His poor wife.”

The criticism even reached his clothing, with commentators pointing out that he wore a quarter-zip shirt without an undershirt.

Before the golf video, Walz had already given opponents another outdoor scene to ridicule.

During the annual Governor’s Pheasant Hunting Opener near Sleepy Eye in October 2024, cameras captured the then-Democratic vice presidential nominee having trouble loading a semi-automatic shotgun.

The Associated Press reported that Walz wore Carhartt hunting chaps and a commemorative orange vest for the campaign trail outing.

After three hours walking through tall grass with a shotgun, Walz did not fire a shot.

Video from the event showed him working with the gun while he spoke with reporters.

Walz later told CBS News that the Beretta A400 he carried had been purchased for trap shooting and showed the gun’s “kickoff” feature, which makes recoil gentler.

“So, when you get old it doesn’t hurt your shoulder as much,” Walz said.

The shotgun scene brought out Elmer Fudd comparisons, with critics invoking the Looney Tunes character known for hunting Bugs Bunny and usually injuring himself.

“This is Tim Walz hunting pheasants. Who did it better?” one person wrote while posting the footage alongside the cartoon hunter.

Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh mocked the comparison by congratulating the fictional character.

“I’d like to congratulate Elmer Fudd, born in 1937, for the best day on social media in his entire career,” Murtaugh wrote. “He has Tim Walz to thank for his resurgence, but in all the laughter about the Walz ‘pheasant hunting’ outing, I wanted to make sure we didn’t forget Mr. Fudd.”

Other X users said the shotgun video would be “great fodder for SNL” and was a “terrible look” for a “supposed hunter.”

Conservative commentator Buck Sexton used the gun clip to bring the joke back to Democrats.

“Tim Walz looks as comfortable loading a shotgun as Kamala does answering basic questions,” Sexton wrote.
