De Blasio appoints wife head of coronavirus racial inequality task force

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.

The lezzie ALSO controls the (gag) “Do-Good” Mayor’s Fund for the City of NY.....a huge slush fund.

She got that pile from him from the get-go.

Here is her findings ahead of time, The inequality of blacks have caused them to eat until they are obese which makes them now susceptible to diabetes, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, high blood pressure and high cholesterol putting them in the compromised category when they are infected with the white mans disease.

“...These politicians are complete destructive idiots...”

Idiots?

Nope. Wrong.

They’re the smartest motherf*ckers on the planet; they have thousands of people PAYING THEIR SALARIES with every paycheck, AND they get to screw those very same people using taxes.

I’d say the only idiots in the room are the people that line up and elect them - or, the people that stand by and allow people like Comrade DeBlasio to fraud his way into a position of authority...

And in that case, it’s not idiocy, it’s cowardice for allowing it to happen.

Is ThriveNYC the charity where she misplaced one half a billion dollars?!

Even by NYC standards this is beyond the pale. Even Boss Tweed wouldn’t try this.

“...She stole (can’t account for) almost a Billion dollars from her “task force” - how is this asshat not in jail with this pure theft and nepotism?...”
Black, female with a “D” after her name and married to one of, if not the most, corrupt mayors in all of the USA. That makes her totally immune to any laws, nepotism, rules, guidelines, etc. She could kill and eat white babies on live TV and no will do a GD thing about it. Does that answer your question??

And some people wonder why so many of us hold contempt for NYC, and it’s inhabitants.

This is they guy you allowed to run your city. You know, the city where almost half of all US covid deaths nationwide happened.
