De Blasio 'regrets' criticism of hasidic funeral
Arutz Sheva ^ | 20/10/20 | Shira Hanau

With tensions high between Orthodox Jews and New York officials, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio expressed regret Tuesday for how he handled a large Hasidic funeral in the pandemic’s early days.

Back in April, after a large funeral for a local rabbi in Brooklyn drew thousands of Orthodox Jews into the streets of Williamsburg, de Blasio visited the scene himself and called out “the Jewish community.” His tweet was widely criticized and damaged what had been a relatively close relationship between the mayor and the city’s Orthodox community.

Now, with Orthodox neighborhoods again among the city’s virus hotspots and residents chafing at restrictions imposed to curb the disease’s spread, de Blasio says he regrets what he said — and how he said it.

“I look back now and understand there was just more dialogue that was needed,” de Blasio said during a press conference Tuesday. “I certainly got very frustrated at times when I saw large groups of people still out without masks but I think more dialogue would have been better so I certainly want to express my regret that I didn’t figure out how to do that better.”

The comments came in response to a question about a call he held with Orthodox leaders from Brooklyn and Queens Monday night, which he said was meant as a “reset”...

The call: Look, I'll give yez money. Dats what you people like, right? Money? Just tell yer ignorant Yiddish-speaking peons to vote for me, ok? Hello? Hello? Must have gotten disconnected. Cheap bastahds probably go wit a bargain-basement provider. Don't know how much money to give them yet...

When they think Trump is gonna win by a landslide and it looks like they may even lose the House...

States, after all, can’t print money.

I can’t imagine that Trump could win NY, but their politicians do not do well at all a constituent satisfaction. I know upstate NY has a lot of conservatives, but NYC libtards seem to routinely practice self-flagellation.

After the last nine months, NYC may finally have seen the light.

“De Blasio ‘regrets’ criticism of hasidic funeral”

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! And he takes full responsibility for his actions.

OH WAIT! I guess he can’t take full “responsibility for his actions” unless he apologizes first. Democrats got rules ya know.

That’s a parody of Wilhelm’s call. Pencil-neck Schiff can speculate on a call he never heard, so can we.

Kaiser Wilhelm De Blasio won’t have a funeral; they’re going to flush him into the toxic sludge of the East River.

Why flush? It might clog and then you’ll need to call a plumber. Just dump him off the Brooklyn Bridge.

Being a Dem means never having to say you're sorry. Sounds like desperation. I met a nice Puerto Rican couple at the Sanford rally who are members of Latinos for Trump. They say it's not just Cubans, Trump has support from Latinos of ALL stripes. And there just might be enough of a Blexit and Jexodus effect to put NY in play

He regrets that his mask slipped and that everyone now knows he is an elitist Nazi POS.

“...there just might be enough of a Blexit and Jexodus effect to put NY in play.” It’s all in play.

If the Dems even suspect a suspicion that NY is in play, they’ll have to expend resources to shore it up. Same with CA. Same with IL. So even if these states still sing the blues, for the red wave it’s good news.
