The vice president of the Minneapolis City Council alleged that she was “held hostage” during an LGBT celebration over the past weekend amid video footage posted online that showed a large number of demonstrators surrounding her vehicle and telling her to sign a list of demands.
Andrea Jenkins, who represents Minneapolis’ 8th Ward, said in a statement Tuesday that “I was verbally attacked, berated and held ‘hostage’ against my will by a large group of angry protesters” during the incident.
