As a former reporter for the City Pages, Mullen attempted to criminalize local residents with petty and absurd accusations. In one case, he wrote a hit piece against pre-pandemic restaurant owner Julius De Roma for accusations in connection with Roma’s completely legal political donations. In doing so, Mullen ruined Club Jager’s famous Wednesday Transmission night. Transmission was a weekly event enjoyed by large numbers of Mullen’s Millennial readers. In most articles, Mullen failed to do basic fact checking.
Ironically, it has been revealed that Mullen wrote hit pieces in collusion with racist prosecutors in Minneapolis for years. The same prosecutors who published nude and semi nude photographs of black men to thousands of viewers on Twitter.
Where was Mullen’s outrage over overt racism then? It’s because Mullen does not care about the truth. Mullen does not care about racism. He is just a stooge ready to carry out personal attacks at the behest of corrupt and powerful government leaders.
He now attempts to backtrack his earlier conduct. On July 23, 2021 he retweeted a comment by former Chief Public Defender of Hennepin County Mary Moriarty in an attempt to disparage law enforcement. Judging from this retweet alone, Mullen is a hypocrite and a liar. Where was Mullen to disparage these same interests prior to George Floyd? Mullen was doing the exact same thing Minneapolis law enforcement officers were doing – destroying people – with absurd accusations. Mullen’s full retweet can be seen below:
If Mullen could learn anything, it would be that the next page of his career should focus on criticizing government leaders for their attacks on the masses. Instead, he will likely continue to try and ruin the careers of local business owners or citizens working hard to provide for their families.

Why would you omit the key fact that Club Jager owner Julius De Roma’s “completely legal political donations” were made out to former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke?

Mullen is a racist. Julius De Roma is a great person. De Roma worked very hard to provide a bar for you to get drunk and party in. What did Mullen do? He destroyed it by making outrageous accusations against De Roma. Instead, you omit that Michael Mullen abused his position as a City Pages editor in being complicit with a Minneapolis prosecutor actively targeting black men by publishing their nude and semi nude photos.
In fact, Protest Press staff interviewed De Roma when he was remodeling Club Jaeger. De Roma gave a tour of each room where he imported unique material and artifacts from Germany. De Roma is a terrific business person and contributes to the community unlike Mullen who tries to destroy and knock people down through false reporting. Mullen’s writing is so bad that we are stunned that Mullen can feed himself let alone earn a living.
