NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio oversaw the dispersal of a large, tightly packed Hasidic Jewish funeral and lashed out at the mourners who had gathered in defiance of social distancing rules intended to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
"My message to the Jewish community, and all communities, is this simple: the time for warnings has passed," de Blasio tweeted Tuesday after police dispersed the funeral in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn.
In another tweet, de Blasio said, "Something absolutely unacceptable happened in Williamsburg tonite: a large funeral gathering in the middle of this pandemic." He said he went there to ensure that the crowd was broken up and added, "what I saw WILL NOT be tolerated so long as we are fighting the Coronavirus."

"This has to be a joke," City Councilman Chaim Deutsch, who represents a large Orthodox Jewish constituency, tweeted. "Did the Mayor of NYC really just single out one specific ethnic community (a community that has been the target of increasing hate crimes in HIS city) being noncompliant??"
What was the message in the original German?
Pandering for the Jewish vote I see. /s
The “mayor” with the assumed name.
My guess is that the original Deutsch was likely:
Wo sind deine Papiere, Juden?!?
Reichsführer Wilhelm
Jawohl!
LOL, they vote for him anyway.
Yep, they get a pass. I’m waiting to see if Trump keeps his word and has AG Bar go after that jerk.
The faux-king mayor knows he could have arrested and jailed every one of the people at this Jewish funeral without fear of losing a single vote in the next election among them.

The Tweet, responses are epic, plus he got Q’d. lol
Maybe he should have just left them Jews alone.
And if they get COVID 19 - sucks for them. They were told.
“faux-king”
I see what you did there. Yes I did.
I’m a bad boy, I am ... Cheers!
He’s reached his term limit. That’s why he and his wife are making a deal with the current borough president of brooklyn, who wants to run for mayor. Wilhelm wants Eric Adams to endorse chirlane for brooklyn borough pres in exchange for them endorsing him for mayor!
Thanks for the info ... didn’t know this good detail.
NYC needs to put the kibosh on the Kaiser.
I don’t think this matters. Overall, American Jews will still vote Democrat no matter what.
“Reichsführer Wilhelm”
Du bist ein Deutschenfeind!
