The only reality Mayor de Blasio accepts is his own.

A Post reporter asked Hizzoner during a virtual City Hall press briefing Wednesday about his tendency to challenge the premise of reporters questions as factually inaccurate instead of answering them.

“Do you think that maybe you simply have a very different perception of reality in this city than most New Yorkers?” The Post asked.

“No. I think I have a perception of life in this city because I’ve spent so much time with my fellow New Yorkers,” the mayor answered.

“If I think something’s not factually correct or a misinterpretation of reality my job is to tell people the truth as I know it,” he explained.

Charles Manson was sure about reality too. So was Ted Bundy. Jeffrey Dahmer. These people were very certain they were right.

DeBlasio is incapable of self-inspection. Like all liberals.

"‘How can I help people? How can I address their problems."

So putting graffiti on a city street outside Trump Tower is helping people, and addressing their problems? Did it help pay someone's rent? Did it put food on someone's table? Did it help a black business owner whose shop was destroyed by black rioters? Did it remedy the grief of the family of 1 year-old Davell Gardner who was shot and killed in your city? Please explain that one Mayor.

Early career

In 1984, de Blasio worked for the Urban Fellows Program at the New York City Department of Juvenile Justice.[26][27] In 1987, shortly after completing graduate school at Columbia, de Blasio was hired to work as a political organizer by the Quixote Center in Maryland.

In 1988, he traveled with the Quixote Center to Nicaragua for 10 days to help distribute food and medicine during the Nicaraguan Revolution. De Blasio was an ardent supporter of the ruling socialist government, the Sandinista National Liberation Front, which was opposed by the Reagan administration at the time.[27]

After returning from Nicaragua, de Blasio moved to New York City, where he worked for a nonprofit organization focused on improving health care in Central America.[27] He continued to support the Sandinistas in his spare time and joined a group called the Nicaragua Solidarity Network of Greater New York, which held meetings and fundraisers for the Sandinista political party.[27]

De Blasio's introduction to city politics came in 1989, when he worked as a volunteer coordinator for David Dinkins' mayoral campaign.[28] Following the campaign, de Blasio was an aide in City Hall.[29][28] In 1990, he described himself as an advocate for democratic socialism when asked about his goals for society.[27]

U.S. Representative Charles Rangel tapped de Blasio to be his campaign manager for his successful 1994 reelection bid.[30] In 1997, he was appointed to serve as the regional director for the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for New York and New Jersey under the administration of President Bill Clinton.

As the tri-state region's highest-ranking HUD official, de Blasio led a small executive staff and took part in outreach to residents of substandard housing.[31][32] In 1999, he was elected to be a school board member for Brooklyn School District 15.[33] The following year, he served as campaign manager for Hillary Clinton's successful United States Senate bid.[33]

Amazing 8.5 million people do NOTHING.

Even 1% would make a difference.
