Today’s paragraphs come to us from Monica Showalter, writing for americanthinker.com. They come from her latest commentary about one of the least competent, most disastrous, mayors in the United States: New York’s Bill de Blasio:
Is New York’s Mayor Bill de Blasio trying to give Minneapolis’s mayor, Jacob Frey, a run for his money?
His idiocies are once again topping those of this crisis’s original appeasing idiot, Frey himself. He’s been late on calling curfew. He’s let the cops know he doesn’t have their back. He’s let thugs run rampant throughout Manhattan’s toniest retail districts for six nights running now. All that explains why New York has had six nights of shattering riots, while other cities have belatedly moved to shut them down.
Fact is, his heart is still with the rioters. Here’s the message he’s telegraphing on that front: He’s saying he’s proud of his bizarre leftist daughter, who got arrested in a group of people throwing objects at the police. “I’m proud she cares so much,” he declared. So much for social distancing.
Now he’s issuing plaintive pleas to rioters to stay home and protest online, because social distancing. Sound like a message this bunch will respond to? With the kind of fun they’re having now, somehow they’re not taking his advice.
In answer to Ms. Showalter’s question, your thoughts are in the right place but you’ve got this all reversed.
It is Jacob Frey who is giving Bill de Blasio a run for his money. Years before Jacob Frey won election to oversee the destruction of Minneapolis, it was Bill de Blasio – twice elected by a landslide, it should be noted – taking down what Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg had regenerated into one of the world’s great cities.
And has he ever done a bang-up job at it.
Despite this reversal, however, I award Monica Showalter Paragraphs Of The Day honors for noting how transcendentally damaging de Blasio has been to New York CIty…
…aided and abetted by the voters there, who made sure he had free reign to do it.
You got what you voted for, folks. Enjoy every second of it.
