Theres nothing quite like the fury of a cornered political hack. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio gave a remarkable press conference on Monday afternoon where he blamed the media for creating the air of paranoia and racial tension currently hanging heavy over the Big Apple.

What are you guys gonna do? Are you gonna keep dividing us? de Blasio demanded of reporters, angry at them for daring to report the ugly behavior of certain demonstrators. You can tell from his body language that de Blasio feels the wall pressing hard against his back. He needed a scapegoat, fast, and chose one of the few institutions less respected than he is at the moment. That might not have been a smart pick, as politicians often learn when picking fights with the folks who buy ink by the barrel and pixels by the gigabyte.
A bizarre whiff of de Blasios authoritarian socialism hangs over even his last-ditch desperation plays. Hes not even really accusing the media of lying about anything here; hes castigating them for daring to tell a truth he now finds politically inconvenient.

There are two primary motivations that explain similar demagogue. There are some simply using Egalitarian rhetoric as a path to power. There are others who are so compulsion driven that they actually believe in their stated goals. I have total contempt for their stated goals, because they reflect a war on truth, a war on nature; a war on the realities of God's Creation,
For the role of compulsion, as opposed to reason, in the De Blasios of this world, see Compassion Or Compulsion?
Does New York City have any mechanism for recall? If so, now would probably be a good time to set the process in motion. Whether your interpretation or mine is correct, the continuation of this farce is not in the interest of any normal person.

He should be tarred and feathered and sent to New Jersey.
Classic projection.
I have never seen, in 56 years, leaders at the highest level act as ours have acted in promoting anarchy. Indeed when the chant went up to kill police NOW I was amazed that it was seemingly tolerated by everyone. If that chant rising had been a moment in a movie it would have been used to reveal the TRUTH about the core instigators.
I wonder what the Blog, Twitter history etc shows? I don’t recall any great backing away from from the center at that moment.
No, he’s just lazy.

“His passion for the anti-cop agenda is so deep that he wasnt capable of following his own advice to take a break from divisiveness for even a single day.”
Looks like they have fantasies about being Mr. and Mrs. Caligula.
He looks ridiculous.
What a couple of birdbrains. The new Al & Tipper Gore.
It’s the only kind of congregation his kind of Rev. can get.
For the most part the MSM has exalted DeBlasio as one of their own progressive democrat communists, I wonder will they make him pay for this, as they would a republican or will they just let it fade away with soft admonishment.
The Marxist, atheist Jim Jones was a “Reverend”, too.
Good point. But if he can be directly tied to inciting violence, then he is toast. A video would be best.
Or Carter...
Heck, even Dinkins looks good compared to this guy.
