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.

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?

Not sure what that is going to do. Democrats have worked hard at keeping minorities at lower paying jobs for so many years. There is no time to reverse that. People like deBlasio have laid the groundwork for minorities to die through the virus

I guess the money she stole from her last appointment has run out.

New Yorkers are some kind of people.

They expect this. They endorse this. They will vote Democrat no matter what.

Attention minorities. Here comes the mayor’s wife to make everything more equal and more just. Please chase her down the street with baseball bats raised. I’d love to help, but have just undergone surgery and am not yet myself. So it’s up to you. Pitch forks and torches are acceptable, too. How ever you prefer to roll.

You’d have to be blind not to see that one coming but I guess that’s the entire point, isn’t it?

The fascists pretend we must control every contagion to zero before “we’re allowed” to have our freedom back.

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.
