    Wolf Blitzer didn't even flinch at the double standard

    New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Thursday that he's banning all large public gatherings to stop the spread of coronavirus, except for Black Lives Matter protests.

    De Blasio made the curious comments while appearing on CNN with Wolf Blitzer on Thursday.

    "It means things like parades, you know things that here in the city could mean not just thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people," said de Blasio of his ban. "It's just not time for that now."

    "What about protests? If people want to march down Fifth Avenue, are they gonna be allowed to do so?" asked Blitzer.

    "Look, Wolf, this is always an area of real sensitivity. If you're just talking about health, we would always say hey folks you know stay home if you can," responded de Blasio.

    "But we understand this moment in history people are talking about the need for historic changes," he added.

    "I mean today, in New York City, you know, recognizing the power and the meaning of the message Black Lives Matter, which we did in front of Trump Tower today, this is a historic moment of change," de Blasio continued, "we have to respect that, but also say to people, the kinds of gatherings we're used to, the the parades, the fairs, we just can't have that while we're focusing on health right now."

    The mayor was referring to his joining activists in trolling President Donald Trump by painting a large Black Lives Matter mural on the street in front of the Trump International Hotel.

    De Blasio has been excoriated by his critics and even some on the left for his mishandling of the coronavirus response in New York City.

  2. If a few die so what, it's all for the greater good of the radical left movement. These people have sacrificed millions at the alter of leftism, a few hundred more here or there doesn't matter.
    When the case rate and deaths go up will comrade Deblaiso be held accountable? Not a chance.

  3. Why are we spending all this time and money on a vaccine when comrade Deblaiso has given us the solution to the virus? We simply wear a BLM hat or Tshirt, head outside and we are immune to Covid. Who knew it could be so easily solved?

    You realize that there is an entire thread dedicated to the numerous COVID outbreaks caused by BLM protests. The list of public health warnings is getting lengthy where anyone who attended the protest is urged to get tested due to many people who contracted COVID at these events or were sick prior to attending the event.
