New York City Mayor de Blasio mocked for tweet on 'bright' future of Big Apple amid city's crime wave
Fox News
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is getting dragged on Twitter for bragging about enjoying the Big Apple’s summer weather as violent crime soars and residents are moving out in droves
"The future of New York City is so bright I gotta wear shades!" the progressive politician tweeted, days after city primary voters appear to have rejected his legacy by choosing a moderate, ex-NYPD captain as their next likely mayoral candidate. (The primary vote is not fully tabulated, with the city's new ranked-choice votes not yet counted.) It was de Blasio's second attempt on the subject, after deleting a similar tweet and being mocked over the reflection of what appeared to be a woman's T-shirted chest that appeared in his mirrored sunglasses. "The future isn’t so bright for these kids," one Twitter user replied, linking to a news story about a horrific daylight shooting in which a masked gunman murdered a man on a public street just inches away from two terrified children. "But for a pompous blowhard like you, I’m sure it’s great."More Related News
