Mayor de Blasio Is Having a No-Good, Very Bad Day
In the wake of appearing on camera to butcher a stale and distinctly unfunny race joke with an extremely high profile candidate for the most important office in the United States of America, mayor Bill de Blasio has been dealt yet another unlucky card today. And it’s only Monday!
In a video uploaded to YouTube on Saturday and first unearthed by the New York Daily News, an NYPD officer can be seen issuing a summons to an anonymous driver while simultaneously lambasting the mayor for the changes he’s made to the status quo.
“Mayor de Blasio wants us to give out summonses, OK? Alright? I don’t know if you voted for him or not, I don’t live in the city, I wouldn’t have voted for him because this is what he wants, he wants us to give out summonses,” the unidentified officer can be heard saying.
De Blasio has made municipal safety one of the core concerns of his term as mayor, calling for increased penalties for haphazard drivers and for staunch renovations of problem intersections. However, at the moment it would seem that the mayor’s fan group is dwindling faster and faster.
