MINNEAPOLIS — Video evidence shows the vice president of the Minneapolis City Council essentially being “held hostage” and coerced into signing an agreement over the weekend as a group of agitators blocked her vehicle. The paper she signed under coercion contained a list of outlandish demands, which includes dropping criminal charges against rioters. Andrea Jenkins represents Minneapolis’ 8th Ward and identifies as the first Black openly transgender person to be elected to office in the U.S., the politician said in a statement Tuesday. The council VP also said it’s time to stop the holding of Black-owned businesses, the neighbors and residents of the neighborhood near George Floyd Square hostage more than a year after Floyd’s death, Fox News reported.
