Bill de Blasio claims California drivers stop at every intersection
[NYPOST] Mayor Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
on Wednesday claimed Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, drivers stop at every intersection — offering his latest in a series of ever-shifting justifications for why New York can’t follow other cities, like Oakland and Minneapolis, and redo streets to make more room for pedestrians and cyclists.

"In California drivers stop at intersections even if there’s no light or stop sign. They stop when people are trying to cross the street, even, in the middle of the street a lot of time," the mayor claimed during his morning City Hall press briefing.

Californians on Twitter quickly pounced, wondering if the mayor had spent any time in the Golden State, where drivers are notorious for rolling through stop signs and disregarding pedestrians.

"A ’California roll’ is when one slows down and drifts through a stop sign while other drivers clear," user @BVanDeynze wrote. "Has DeBlasio ever been to California? Or even driven a car?"

"The mayor of New York thinks drivers in Los Angeles stop... at... every..... block???????" asked Laura Nelson, the Los Angeles Times’ transportation news hound. "I needed this laugh today. Thanks, Bill de Blasio."

One of her colleagues responded: "I’ve jaywalked in cities all over the country. The only place I’ve truly feared for my life is LA."

#2 Our pols are losing it: Biden's dotage, DeBlasio's idiocy, Whitmer's madness, Pelosi's wicked gibberish...

Have their brains been infected with some sort of virus?

#3 I think we are seeing live and in color what 'power' is doing to these people. Who knew how many Hitlers & Stalin's we're among us.

#9 In California drivers stop at intersections even if there’s no light or stop sign.

My experience of California says "LOL".

I guess the tooth fairy told him so.


And my experience of NYC suggests that he tell its pedestrians not to do the red light rugby scrum when they are at an intersection.
