The Mayor Who Slandered the Police

New York City mayor Bill de Blasio is “comfortable” with himself. So the city learned during the biggest crisis to hit a New York mayoralty in recent memory. “I’m comfortable with the fact that I’ve always tried to tell the truth and stay true to my values,” de Blasio said in mid January, as police officers across New York City continued a work slowdown that had brought discretionary police activity to a virtual standstill. De Blasio’s breezy self-assurance was revealing but unfortunate, since it was his belief in his own mission as social-justice truth-teller that had pushed the police into revolt in the first place.

William Bratton, New York City police commissioner, has now mobilized the considerable management and disciplinary tools at his disposal to force officers to increase their enforcement activity. But the fault lines that led to the slowdown are still there. Law enforcement in New York may be on the rise for now, but in the long term public safety remains at risk from an activist mayor who sees his base as the anti-police Left.

The New York Police Department slowdown was born of two emotions: fear and anger. And it triggered an outburst of hypocrisy on the part of the political and media elites that was breathtaking to behold.

NY POST CARTOON

===============================================

VILLAGE VOICE---In 1979, Mrs De Blasio---then-Chirlane McCray---only a few years out of college, came out of the closet. In a blaring essay "I Am a Lesbian," written for Essence magazine, she spoke out against the invisibility of black lesbians.

Thirty-three years later, she would catapult to visibility as the wife of NYC Bill de Blasio. Except for two blips in her husband's campaign, however, this aspect of McCray's life has resisted closer scrutiny.

The essay surfaced as a potential mayoral campaign issue late in 2012, a month before de Blasio officially announced his candidacy. The New York Observer noted that de Blasio's website made only a passing reference to McCray having belonged to a "black feminist" collective. The Observer also pointed out that a 2011 article co-bylined by the couple in support of marriage equality omitted any mention of McCray's very public lesbian past, even though the article appeared in "Go" a lesbian magazine widely distributed throughout the city.

A NY Post cartoon depicted the couple in bed, McCray on the phone saying, "I used to be a lesbian, but my husband, Bill de Blasio, won me over," w/ her beside her clad in sexy lingerie.

WHO BLOBBIO DESCRIBES AS HIS "NUMBER ONE ADVISOR" Insider buzz is that Big Bird Blobbio is ruled by his wife---that the two work hand in hand to make public policy decisions.

So much so, that news reports say Commissioner Bratton was forced to caution DeBlobbio not to bring his wife to the crucial meeting recently held w/ five cop unions Blobbio had slandered.

DE BLOBBIO'S WIFE

RESUME ENHANCEMENT PROGRESSIVE-STYLE During DeBlobbio's campaign, his wife Chirlane I. McCray was billed as a writer, poet, editor, communications professional, and political figure who published poetry and worked in politics for the Clintons.

THE REAL STORY

Mrs DeBlobbio loudly declared her lesbianism in a magazine article---she was in a black feminist lesbian group and wrote poetry about being a lesbian. Politicker noted her husband's campaign website doesn't reference her background as an avowed lesbian and a lesbian activist or lesbian poet: It notes her affiliation with the Combahee River Collective, omitting mention of the group’s lesbian roots, referencing it as "a pioneering black feminist collective."

They met while both worked for Dinkins. She says she had a nose ring and wore African garb when he spotted her and was completely smitten. She never told him she was a lesbian. And later said after their marriage she was still attracted to women.

During the campaign, she was asked about her lesbian lifestyle----she retorted she "didn't understand the question."

The Blobbio's honeymooned in Communist Cuba. Musta been a shock on their wedding night when Blobbio came out of the shower in a towel. "You want to put what where," said the startled lesbian.

THE ODD COUPLE

HILLARY GETS THE PROGRESSIVE COP-HATER VOTE WITHOUT EVEN TRYING.

De Blobbio worked on Hillary's Senate campaign.

The Clintons milk the Progressive cop-hater vote.

Impeached president and disbarred lawyer, Bill
Clinton, swears in the new Mayor. Hillary looks on.
