Truth? What is truth?
Via NY Post:
This week, Bill de Blasio reiterated he’s not open to any arguments against shutting down the city’s horse-carriage trade. The mayor said he’d traveled his own journey to his position, and saw “a lot of other cities around the world” have banned the horse carriages.
When we asked him to name those cities, his office sent us the following names: Tel Aviv, New Delhi and Oxford.
That’s telling. Because just one year ago, as public advocate, he wrote a piece for The Huffington Post in which he claimed “London, Paris, Las Vegas, Toronto and Beijing — New York City’s chief rivals for tourism — have all banned horse-drawn carriages in recent years.”What he wrote was false. Which explains the switcheroo.
