Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Sunday that he has put First Lady Chirlane McCray in charge of a special coronavirus task force — insisting her work with her embattled ThriveNYC initiativemade her perfect for the new job.
McCray will work with Deputy Mayor Phil Thompson in leading a task force on racial inclusion and equity to make sure the Big Apple rebounds as a “better and more just society than the one we left behind,” Hizzoner said.
The mayor insisted that the First Lady deserved her place at the head of the new initiative because of the ideas she generated — defying critics and praising her work with her $250 million-a-year mental health plan.
“In terms of fighting inequality, Thrive has gone to that point and in many ways even farther,” he insisted, praising his wife’s work in “putting a light” to serious issues, making her an obvious choice for the new role.
“I think that’s exactly the kind of mindset needed for this task force,” he insisted of his 65-year-old wife.
Critics have charged that McCray’s ThriveNYC program is both ineffective and ripe for abuse as a political cudgel.

Will Ms. McCray be empowered to kill whites if necessary, so as to keep all the statistics equal?
Just asking for a friend.
She’s a democrat see Hillary.
I shudder to think that this stupid ass could rise to higher office than Mayor in the future. He’s like a festering boil on the ass of NY city.
What the heck happened to you NYers that you could elect such an incompetent boob?
This ia Marxist Wilhelm’s absolute commie wet dream. He thinks he is going to remake the city, its businesses, and people into his fantady commune. He will try, but the real danger is that Cuomo’s effort to do the same will be lost from view and likely to be put in place.
If she looks hard enough, she might even be able to find a few more genders.
Let’s hope she interviews SARS-CoV-2 face-to-face to ascertain the motivations behind its racism.
Perhaps she’ll figure out a way to encourage more caucasians and orientals to get the Wuhan virus so that their deaths will be in the same percentage of the population as the Blacks whom they are saying are dying of it on an “unequal” percentage to their size of the population? Yes, this seems crass, but it is the bottom line of their complaints.
“Now he’s going Full Ceaucescu.”
Never go Full Ceaucescu.
NY’ers deserve these pigs.
Let me ‘play’ Devils Advocate for a second here...
Brilliant move on the idiots part.
You just know that PDJT will have something to say about this and then, when NY goes with hat in hand to the Fed, PDJT will more than likely say ‘No sou for you’ in his best ‘Soup Nazi’ voice
THEN
Billy Boy will be able to scream racist and saying PDJT holding the money because a ‘Black’ woman is in charge of the Task Force.
Another $865 million ought to cover it. I wonder if her mental health/education initiative (or whatever it was called) will ver get audited.
No wonder NYC, and by extension, NY State, is strapped for the money they should have put in their pension plans. I don't want to hear about it. Fuhgeddaboutit!
She’ll probably need $1B or so for a budget that will never be accounted for (again).
This isn’t a putdown at all but the best thing blacks can do for themselves to minimize fatality from this and other diseases is to lose weight. The CDC says that 49.6% of non-Hispanic blacks are obese.”
The blacks in Africa are contracting Covid-19 at a much lesser rate than blacks in the US. One likely reason is that less vitamin D gets through black pigment. The northern Europeans with paler skin are more adapted to the weaker sun of the northern hemisphere. The blacks in Africa get a lot more natural vitamin D than they do in the US. Also, they are not obese in Africa.
What do you mean you don’t know what it’s going to do. It’s going to put money in his/her pocket like it’s supposed to. :-)
What happened to the mental health money she “Lost” let me guess, some bank account in the Cayman Islands
because she’s black and commie..so it means she gets a pass
Rest assured when the big Federal bailout comes for New York ( and despite the rational opposition of McConnell and most rational Republicans, it will come), the cost of this boondoggle will be included.
I didn’t think of the Vitamin D aspect but I suspect that’s part of it.
