New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio took it upon himself to do a little bragging today:
New York City is the capital of free speech. I’m glad to see more artists speaking out and I'm proud our city will host the 2018 Grammys. https://t.co/epka4w86ix

The laughter started immediately:
you told people not to go to a chicken restaurant because you didn't like the owners https://t.co/O8TIoKv9tp

Well there’s that. Plus a lot more.
@NYCMayor Except conservative Christian's like the owners of Chick-fil-a . Have u updated your stance on this https://t.co/A2VrDRNTKz

@NYCMayor I mean, unless it's Chick-fil-a

@NYCMayor You mean the capital of Liberal speech. Conservative ideas not welcome (or even listened to).

@NYCMayor You are absolutely delusional if you think Nyc is the free speech capital!

Which is why @Gavin_McInnes was assaulted by Antifa before his NYU speech, correct? https://t.co/azQXi6ROwG

He’s so shameless.
@SaysSimonson @karol And then I'm pretty sure the line was around the block for said chicken restaurant. Business has been amazing.

@tjpman @karol yup, there's one right across the street from my office and it's always packed

Just occasionally, socialists can be good for business.
