Having solved all other problems in his own city, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio had some comments about the situation in Belarus:
What we’re seeing in Belarus should be a wake up call to the world. Free and fair elections are THE foundations of democracy and they are under attack. New York City condemns the violence that Lukashenko has perpetrated on his own citizens.

Really, Comrade Mayor?
Worry about New York City first, Wilhelm. pic.twitter.com/3VcSead6gs

Mayor of city that mishandles a global pandemic so that 32k+ people die and can’t even get its own mail in voting done well, chooses to condemn dictator https://t.co/w7pGt4yyey

You might want to focus on the soaring rate of violent crime in your city and the boarded up businesses all over town. New York is starting to look like a war zone.

Are you the “mayor” of Belarus, or NYC?
Clearly, it’s neither.

WHY, WHY!!!! DO YOU KEEP ON REPORTING WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING. YOU SHOULD BE ONLY LOOKING AT RESOLVING THE CRIME WAVE WE ARE GOING THRU. https://t.co/SeNUpbtoPD

And don’t forget NYC’s botched attempt at mail-in voting:
Maybe worry about your own city’s Board of Elections? Or just resign. 😀
