In what has to be one of the most tone-deaf moves by any politician in quite some time, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio jetted off to Germany to join in the G20 protest rather than attend swearing in ceremony for new NYPD officers. Remember, this comes a day after NYPD Officer Miosotis Familia was assassinated and he chose to be with anti-Trump rioters instead of the men in women in blue:
NYC homelessness is up 40%, police officer executed, @BilldeBlasio jets to German to cheer on fascists. #Priorities https://t.co/wuaxWd6E9d

Another train derailment & a service for murdered NYPD officer Miosotis Familia — And de Blasio decides to channel his inner Sandinista.

The subway I take to work every day derailed & injured 34 people but DeBlasio thinks his time is better spent protesting trump in Germany

Do Dems even see this as a problem?

Private investigator Bo Dietl, who will be challenging de Blasio in the next election, tweeted that the mayor “doesn’t care about NYC”:
Blaz doesn't care about NYC. He's running for president. With cops getting shot in the head, NYC needs a mayor NOW! https://t.co/PlwMNThaJs

And here’s what the NY Post looked like this morning. Ouch:
Now you know what I'm saying is true about #Communism. This criminal #deBlasio shouldn't be allowed back. Fake name(s) & admitted communist pic.twitter.com/wM9S17UslG

According to former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, de Blasio is losing the support of the NYPD:

Exit question: What’s the carbon footprint of de Blasio’s stunt?
How much jet fuel did de Blasio burn to go do nothing in Germany?

He doesn’t care as it’s only us peasants who have to worry about such things.
