White House Calls De Blasio a Liar as He Lets New York City Burn

Gun violence across the five boroughs has spiked more than 40 percent in 2021

Mayor Bill de Blasio doubled down Friday on his controversial decision not to hire more cops even amid the Big Apple’s surging crime wave and after President Biden provided federal funds for the move.

The mayor had falsely claimed Thursday that Biden was talking about other cities when the president said federal coronavirus funding could be used to pay for more cops.

A White House source had told The Post that de Blasio was "incorrect."

• New York City's Budget for 2022: $98.7 Billion - Only $200 Million has been allocated to the NYPD after cutting $1 Billion from the NYPD's budget last year.
• City Hall's data does not include the annual rates of shooting increases, but it does say that shootings are up 64.8%
• Gun violence across the five boroughs has spiked more than 40 percent in 2021 — including two broad daylight shootings in Times Square and two kids caught on camera ducking bullets in The Bronx.
• Since 2019, shootings have more than doubled by 105.1 percent, the official CompStat figures show.
• De Blasio said, after receiving $6 billion in federal Covid-19 relief, "We have a problem...I’m not trying to minimize it. We have a lot of work to do to turn around. But a number of other American cities unfortunately are going through much, much worse, and that’s where that money was targeted."
• The White House then said that De Blasio was 'incorrect' or otherwise, the White House politely called the Blue Party Mayor a 'liar.'

But it's all right, New York City has too many people, and as any wealthy democrat hopes, criminals mostly kill the poor, mostly.

All the money in the world isn't going to attract good men into jobs that have been totally discredited, hamstrung, and vilified, by Democrat politicians and media who will not back you up once you accept the job. The Democrats did this to themselves.

New York was a utopia a year and a half ago compared to what it's like now.
