Remember this is the same mayor against his own aides' advice, as late as reported on Mar. 16, "intentionally visible during the outbreak, riding the subway, posing for selfies and demonstrating safe greeting practices like an elbow bump".
And because of de Blasio's cavalier stance, his preparedness as Tapper pointed out, lagging way behind the curve. But the mayor said that YOU should not look back at him trying to find blame.
However, as one commentor on RCP site - Deblasio to Jake "we do not blame anything on any body but Trump" That about sums up the Dems response.
And what about the past three+ years of Trump admin? Democrats did nothing but looking back trying to remove him from office.
Very unusual for the media to ask a pointed to a communist democrat! But, like a communist, his reply is evasive. Let’s remember he said “we should not be focusing, ... on anything looking back” when he criticizes Trump.
Are you talking about this ?

Of course he’s not going to take any responsibility.
I sure hope the people of NYC remember this come election time.
Tapper should watch his back. DeBolshevick might have his lesbo wife attack Tapper with a bedroom toy.
These kinds of questions, media flack to failed politician, aren’t meant to hold the latter responsible, but rather to allowed the failed politician a platform to continue to dispense lies and propaganda.
The commie mayor IS a viral idiot.
I hate to say this to partisans on both sides aisle, but no one thought something bad like this pandemic was possible. A lot of leaders all over the world said a lot of stuff, that in retrospect, was unwise. What are we going to do? Hang them?
Sure the political leftbraisted Trumpmas a racist for stopping travel from China which makes them look like idiots, but Trump was probably a bit too slow to jump on this problem as well. Heck, mostbworld leaders were too slow in retrospect.
Still, The real culprit is China. They didn’t follow protocol. Mechanisms were in place to avoid this situation, and they lied.
I think everyone really should forgive left and right leaning politicians here and in Europe. Seriously.....China caused this mess and it is they who deserve our ire.
The media stirs up trouble for ratings, they do very little to actually help the situation.
It’s telling how when it comes to Democrats how the past is the past.
What would de Blasio say if President Trump said that to Pelosi saying Trump's delay at the beginning cost lives?
-PJ
Mayor Bill de Blasio if his comments telling people to go about their normal lives during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic.
Now the democrat party has two guys from NY to replace Biden.
The Gov. winks
Bwa-ha-ha! I can’t believe they actually asked that.
