Mayor de Blasio blasted as ‘pathetic’ for not cleaning vandalized BLM mural

The city has yet to clean up splotches of paint thrown on the Black Lives Matter mural in front of Trump Tower a week after the vandal struck — with New Yorkers blaming “pathetic” Mayor Bill de Blasio who “wavers on the flavor of the month.”

Mark-David Hutt, 31, of Rochester, NY, was busted on two consecutive days last weekend — July 25 and 26 — for tossing paint on the city’s most controversial BLM display on Fifth Avenue near East 56th Street.

On the first day, he was busted just after 5 p.m., and the next morning, he was back at it — and cuffed at 10:10 a.m., cops said. He was issued desk appearance tickets on each day.

But the paint remains on the logo one week later.

“It’s been a full week and I asked the cops why the DOT hasn’t repaired the BLM paint job,” Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa told The Post. “They said City Hall doesn’t seem to care any longer about this BLM logo. The mayor seems to have ADD on this matter, like he does most matters in NYC.”

A police source told The Post that the mayor “wavers on the flavor of the month.”

“Whatever the flavor of the month is, that’s what he concerns himself with,” the source said. “That’s what makes him a horrible mayor. Black lives matter isn’t the flavor of the month anymore. Very short attention span, we know that already. It’s just a waste of taxpayer dollars in the first place. You got between five and 15 cops sitting out there on overtime watching that stupid shit and shootings are piling up. They’re there to protect the mural, and obviously they’re not doing a good job of that.”

The only way to clean it up is to remove it.

And since it was never “authorized”, that is how to handle it.

The mayor had his photo-op with the paint rollers.

I think he’d rather have a defaced street in front of the Trump Tower going forward than a clean one.

Awww, isn’t that too bad.

Guess I’ll never see the Guardian Angels the same anymore.

Maybe because that’s not what DOT $ is for.

Depends on what one is cleaning.

I think I’ll look for some leftover paint.

Just spitting on the street there is probably a capital offense, especially if you’re white because white lives don’t matter.

The “mural” looks nice these days!
Very artistic.

The problem is that they can’t “clean” it. All they can do is remove or paint over everything. At that point they can either leave the street as it was before, or recreate the BLM message. And the message was created by vandals, so it would be really, um, stupid for the city to do it.

In defense of de Blasio, he does not waver on the flavor of the month.

He is a consistent fully-grown red-diaper-baby-Marxist through and through.

I would think the guardian angels are trolling him. Showing the mayor to be the opportunist he is vs. actually being upset about this.

Definitely an improvement over the original “mural”.

People stupid enough to elect a democrat mayor deserve this... the rest of the folks need to move out. Property values will be going down like a lead balloon.
