Hizzoner's missus to decide fate of NYC statues of Washington, Jefferson
|
[NYPOST] First Lady Chirlane McCray will put statues and structures honoring historic figures tainted by slavery — including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson — under the microscope as part of a new "Commission on Racial Justice and Reconciliation," Mayor Comrade 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...
announced Friday.
Hizzoner’s move comes a day after five city politicians — including Speaker Corey Johnson — sent a letter requesting the statue of Thomas Jefferson be removed from the City Council’s chamber, as leaders across the city and nation struggle to respond to weeks of protests over racism that followed the death of George Floyd.
"This is exactly the kind of thing that this new commissions needs to examine," de Blasio told news hounds during his morning briefing, announcing his wife’s latest assignment. "I think it is the time to evaluate the entire look and feel of this city and a commission that’s focused on justice and reconciliation can really think about a bigger approach."
He added: "I’m going to charge them with that task."
De Blasio said that would include examining City Hall’s statue of George Washington and the name of the mayoral residence, Gracie Mansion, which was built and owned by a slave owner, Archibald Gracie.
