Once a Putz, always a Putz.
Mayor de Blasio’s announcement that he’s runningfor president was perfect in one regard: It accurately — and inadvertently — captured who he is.
A lazy faker, a race and class warrior and a problem for those he claims to help.
He came prepared for his big day with two messages. One, he’s for “working people,” a phrase he used repeatedly because he’s trying to convince voters of something that’s not true.
As New Yorkers know, de Blasio’s tax-and-spend, spend, spend regime has contributed to the stratospheric cost of living here, which penalizes the poor and drives the middle class to the exits.
Despite bloated budgets and growing government payrolls, there is an obvious decline in the quality of life. Filth and chaos are everywhere.
The soaring homeless population is one sign, and the near collapse of the Housing Authority is another.
De Blasio’s second talking point was an absolute howler: He can beat President Trump because “I’ve beaten him before and I will do it again.”
Perhaps he was referring to his clownish press conference at Trump Tower, where he threatened to fine the president’s high-rises for carbon emissions — in 2030. The mayor picked the site to piggyback on Trump’s name and ended up making a fool of himself.
There is near-universal agreement that the idea of the Putz running for president is a joke. Yet the message he is peddling is no laughing matter and, given how far left Democrats have moved, de Blasio’s nonsense is practically mainstream nowadays.
In that sense, New York is a lab experiment for his “gospel” of redistribution. National Dems should take heed of the destructive results.
Earlier this year, de Blasio summed up his politics with a salute to socialism: “Here’s the truth, brothers and sisters, there’s plenty of money in the world. Plenty of money in this city. It’s just in the wrong hands!”
