NY Congressman Is Calling For Mayor Bill De Blasio To Be Booted From Office

Linkedin Share

It seems NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is not a popular fellow among many of the individuals in the state government, as Rep. Lee Zeldin, a Republican, is wanting to see him removed from office over his egregious failures in leading the Big Apple.

The straw that apparently broke the camel’s back comes from the recent surge in crime that is sweeping across the city, largely probably due to the fact he’s done nothing to reign in the madness caused by the Black Lives Matter movement that has done a fairly good job of spreading chaos and violence all over the country, especially in large urban centers.

Here’s more from The Washington Examiner:

An increase in shootings and crime in general has plagued New York City so far in 2020, specifically in the weeks and months since the death of George Floyd on May 25. His death sparked protests, both peaceful and violent, on New York streets and in other cities.

More than 100 people were injured by 83 shootings during a nine-day time period from June 19-27 in New York City, and at least six of those victims died.

Last week, at least 14 people were shot in 10 shootings during a nine-hour period in the city, resulting in one death.

With increasing crime, it seems like now would be a pretty horrible time to cut the funding to the local police department, especially with the relationship between NYPD and the mayor’s office being strained. Yet, that’s exactly what de Blasio did. He slashed their budget by $1 billion.

Oh and the city also got rid of its plainclothes anti-crime unit as of June 15. This move is part of their capitulation to the leftist mob that is Black Lives Matter and the demands they’ve set out in the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of law enforcement officers in Minneapolis.

Many individuals have criticized the move, stating it’s directly caused the increase in the shootings the city is dealing with.

To give you a picture of just how bad things have gotten, shootings in the city have increased 205 percent between June 15 and July 2 compared to that same time period last year.

That’s massive.

Perhaps it is time for NYC to try a different approach to the problems facing the city and dump the poor Democratic leadership? Just a thought.
