De Blasio’s senior staff in near revolt over his coronavirus response
NY Post ^ | 20 Mar 2020 | Julia Marsh

When Mayor de Blasio dragged a half dozen aides and members of his NYPD security detail to his Brooklyn YMCA Monday morning amidst the coronavirus outbreak, fellow fitness enthusiasts were coughing and sneezing — and a mentally ill person was walking around touching the equipment, a gym source said.

“It’s crazy that he made his staff and detail come with him to the gym and expose them like that,” the source said.

But the incident is just one example of the mayor’s disregard for the health of his staff during the crisis, multiple sources told The Post.

There’s also growing frustration from senior aides, who fault the mayor for dithering instead of making decisions, micromanaging instead of leading, and insisting he knows best instead of listening to others, three sources said.

‘Thank god for Cuomo,’ is a common refrain among the mayor’s staff, made only partly in jest, sources said.

It's so bad they are thanking God for Cuomo!

And this:

“He’s incredibly condescending. He thinks he has a pulse on the emotions and feelings and concerns of everyday New Yorkers better than his staff, which is remarkable for a guy who lives in a mansion on the Upper East Side,” the source said.

David Dinkins thanks William Wilhelm for taking over the title of the worst NYC mayor ever.

If you think back you may recall that he rose when Weiner fell.

I don’t know much about Cuomo but when I’ve seen him over the last few days, except that he’s so long-winded and meandering, there’s something about the guy that makes me want to like him on a certain level.

I’ve never had that feeling about Warren Wilhelm.

I refuse to believe that any of this guy’s senior staff are in “near revolt” over anything. You’d have to be a brain-dead retardate to even work for him in the first place.

Not two hours after New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio ( born: Warren Wilhelm II, never forget) gave a ringing defense of freedom of the press, his goons hauled away a reporter who had dared ask him a question in public..

“there’s something about the guy that makes me want to like him on a certain level”

I highly recommend you resist that urge.

Well, my ‘viscera’ are often mistaken, so I’ll take your advice ;-)

They are just now figuring out the man is crazy terminally and supremely stupid?

Yes, I had that same thought too.

“... there’s something about the guy that makes me want to like him on a certain level.”

Watching Cuomo’s newsers the last several days makes me think of Michael Corleone in GF 2.

I guess he just seems more ‘human’ to me, than the Wilhelm guy does.

But again, I don’t know much about him; so I’ll defer to those of you who do.
