A true Democrat never takes responsibility.
Via NY Post:
Mayor de Blasio was stumped last month when he was asked to cite his mistakes.
“I would have to think about that and come back with a coherent answer,” he said. That was Nov. 3.
So last Monday, he took up the subject again — this time acknowledging errors but having a hard time with specifics.
“I’m not in the business of dwelling on the past,” he said. But, “it’s pretty obvious that some things, you know, worked as we hoped, and other things didn’t.”
True, anyone with a record as awful as his wouldn’t want to “dwell” on it. But there’s no other way to learn from mistakes. So as a service to the mayor, and to readers, herewith is a brief sample of Hizzoner’s biggest blunders during his first two years as mayor.
(We’ll cut him a break on his smaller flubs — eating pizza with a fork, allowing tweets under his name about his Red Sox loyalty during a Mets World Series game and his chronic lateness, which led him to miss a key moment during the anniversary of Flight 587’s crash):
Fighting charter schools: De Blasio’s effort to deny space to charters sparked a new state law forcing him to find room — or pay their rent.
Pushing to ban carriage horses: City Council members refused to support him because drivers would’ve lost their jobs — and, despite his claims, the horses are treated well anyway.
Fueling anger at cops: He backed a lawsuit slurring cops as racist, treated cop-hating Rev. Al Sharpton as co-police commissioner and, as anti-cop hatred grew, described how he’d warned his biracial son to be careful around cops, implying they’re racist. Two NYPD officers were later targeted and slain by a madman seeking revenge against the police, and cops turned their backs on de Blasio at three public events.
