New York City suffered the worst of the riots Monday night, as Mayor Bill de Blasio stood by while Midtown Manhattan descended into lawlessness.

I saw him on a show last night, he seemed meek, he was prompted to criticize the political purity tests being conducted on Guardsmen in DC.

He was the first congress critter to say anything about it that I know of.
