As President Donald Trump is set to visit New York City next week, City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito says he may have the right to come but that his values are “not welcome here” in New York City. And she’s “ready” to join any potential protests that day.
On Monday, while on his 17-day vacation at his golf course in Bedminster, N.J., Trump announced on Twitter that he is planning to go to New York City next week “for more meetings.” At the time, his spokeswoman said that they would provide more details “in the next day or two.”
POLITICO, however, obtained a draft schedule indicating that he will go to Trump Tower on Sunday afternoon and stay there for three nights. The schedule also said that he will have “internal meetings” at this Fifth Avenue headquarters on Monday and Tuesday and head back to Bedminster on Wednesday....

I’d like to hear her describe what those values are that she despises. These dopes always get away with making a statement and not having to explain it.
These idiots have yet to figure out that the riots only make Trump stronger. Have at it.
Is this the same Melissa Mark-Viverito who demanded a terrorist be celebrated at the Puerto rican day parade. Oh my, so it is....

I am so bored with these morons. You can talk all the manure you want to Melissa Mark-Viverito. But when it comes right down to it, you can’t do a single thing about it. And if you are contributory to the destruction of his visit, you should be identified and chastised. And you earned it.

A member of the communist FALN.
"The FALN carried out a reign of terror in America from 1974 through 1983, conducting 114 bombings including the January 24, 1975 lunchtime attack of New York’s historic Fraunces Tavern that killed four innocent people. Among the victims was my 33 year-old father, Frank Connor."

There was a time when American terrorists moved to a Latin beat. Puerto Rican Independence was the song, and it had been pulsing in the background for decades.
On Friday, Jan. 24, 1975, it exploded onto center stage.
The place was Fraunces Tavern, the historic red- and yellow-brick restaurant on Pearl St. where, as any tour book will tell you, that most famous of American freedom fighters, George Washington, said farewell to his officers in 1783.
History would again be made at the tavern on a mild winter day 192 years later.
A lively crowd of Wall Streeters and business executives were having lunch in the Anglers and Tarpon Club, in a second floor dining room adjacent to the main building. Among them were Harold H. Sherburne, 66, whose career on Wall Street spanned four decades, and a young banker, Frank Connor, 33, who had worked his way up over 15 years from clerk to assistant vice president at Morgan Guaranty Trust. Two executives, James Gezork, 32, of Wilmington, Del., and Alejandro Berger, 28, who worked for a Philadelphia-based chemical company, had traveled to New York for business meetings.
It would be their last meal.
At 1:29 p.m., a tremendous explosion rocked the building, sending shivers up to the 60th floor cafeteria of the nearby Chase Manhattan Bank building. Firefighters found a scene of “utter havoc,” with blood- and dust-covered men and women, many in business attire, writhing in agony in the streets, or shrieking under piles of rubble, or wandering about with stunned, blank eyes.
Sherburne, Connor and Berger died on the spot. Gezork lost his fight for life later at the hospital.
Within 15 minutes — even as, the News noted, “dazed and screaming victims, one of them with an arm torn off, were being carried away” — the Associated Press received a phone call. The caller boasted that the bomb was the handiwork of the FALN, the Armed Forces of Puerto Rican National Liberation, radicals devoted to using violence to free the island from the grips of the United States.
In a note police found in a phone booth nearby, the FALN wrote, “we … take full responsibility for the especially detornated (sic) bomb that exploded today at Fraunces Tavern, with reactionary corporate executives inside.”
The note explained that the bomb — roughly 10 pounds of dynamite that had been crammed into an attaché case and slipped into the tavern’s entrance hallway — was retaliation for the “CIA ordered bomb” that killed three and injured 11, one a child, in a restaurant in Puerto Rico.
“You have unleashed a storm from which you comfortable Yankis (sic) cannot escape,” the writers warned.
Few Americans had heard of the group or its gripes before, even though the question of Puerto Rican independence had been long debated. FALN saw violence as the only path to freedom, despite the views of Puerto Rican voters, who consistently favored maintaining U.S. ties.
Witnesses said they saw two Hispanic men running from the scene just before the explosion, but police could not find them, and the investigation stalled.
More bombings followed here, including one in the Mobil Building on 42nd St. that killed an attorney, and in Chicago, Washington, D.C., Newark and Miami. Over the next nine years, FALN would take credit for more than 130 bombings that killed six, and maimed and injured scores of victims.
Each time the terrorists evaded capture.
Investigators had nothing until July 12, 1978, when another explosion uncovered an FALN “bomb factory,” in a two-room apartment in Queens.
William Morales, an FALN explosives expert, had been building a pipe bomb when something went wrong. Three-quarters of his face, six teeth, his right eye, and all but one of his fingers, a thumb, were blown off.
No firm evidence could be found to link Morales to the Fraunces Tavern attack, but his possession of the explosives — including 70 sticks of dynamite — earned him a jail sentence of 89 years.
He did not serve much time. Although he had no fingers and just one eye, Morales somehow managed to escape from Bellevue Hospital’s prison ward by using an ACE bandage to lower himself 40 feet to the ground. He fled to Mexico, and then to Cuba, where he remains, free, to this day.
No one was ever tried for planting the Fraunces Tavern bomb, although in the early 1980s, 16 FALN members, including one of the leaders, Oscar Lopez-Rivera, were arrested and convicted of plotting to overthrow the government, weapons possession, and other charges. In 1999, President Bill Clinton made the highly controversial decision, which was opposed by the FBI and other law-enforcement agencies and Clinton’s own wife, to offer clemency for FALN prisoners. His rationale: The punishments, long prison sentences of 70 or more years, did not fit the crimes.
Lopez-Rivera, who turned down Clinton’s offer, is the last FALN member still behind bars. Attending his January 2011 parole hearing was a small group of victims of FALN terrorists, led by Joseph Connor. He was 9 years old when his father died over lunch at Fraunces Tavern.
Lopez-Rivera’s bid for parole was denied and he will not be eligible again until 2021. “Finally,” Connor said in a presentation at the National Press Club in June, “some justice for our father, Frank Connor, and other victims of the FALN.”
Yep, Joe Connor. I heard an interview of him on the radio while this parade was being planned and I was crying to be honest. His said the last thing his dad said to him and his brother was “I love you guys” and that was the last they ever heard from him. For the rest of their lives, that is their father. It just absolutely boggles my mind how anyone can support these terrorists, and that puke Obama PARDONED THE TERRORIST! And the left has the GALL to harass Trump over a Russian HOAX?? I don’t know how much longer this can go on before this country explodes into Civil war. It’s like the sane against the insane.
and what values are those, Miss Priss?
BTW, if you want to give a piece of your mind to this piece of garbage posing as a woman, here is her, I mean its Twitter account. I’ve already sent it a few messages........

BTW Joe Connor has a Freep account. I remember him posting info on this years ago on Freep. I forget his handle, it wasn’t JoeConnor or JoesephConnor, it was something else and he made one post about his dad asking for help so the terrorist wasn’t pardoned which Obama did anyway.
Where do these POS come from, Dante’s inferno??
She’s the city’s ambassador to the pathetic Puerto Rico, always trying to direct some more NYC taxpayer money to the land of her true allegiance. That’s the only reason she’s in the States, trying to hustle money for them. She hasn’t done squat for NYC citizens. Her values are those of a hustler, a schemer, a grifter, and a piece of gutter trash. I guess Trump should take it as a compliment that this ambulatory walkin’ talking’ garbage pit doesn’t consider his values “welcome” here. But hers apparently are?
Wow. I didn’t realize being elected to a seat on the City Council gives you so much power. You get to speak for the entire city and decide who is and who isn’t welcome. Isn’t she special?
Exile this hater and Puerto - Rico - loving loser to the Congo. What a clown and hate-filled loser.
Yeah, it is interesting that someone who grew up in a foreign land thinks she gets to tell those of us who were born here whether we’re welcome or not.
