"The mayor’s sanctimonious claims in the wake of his preferred choice’s – Donald Trump’s – victory would be absurd if they weren’t so angering. With so many New Yorkers rightly frightened for their communities and families, he is proudly claiming ideological victory and blurring the line between morally right and politically advantageous.
"Just as he did in 2022, the mayor is blaming progressives for not putting out the flames he fanned on issues of public safety and immigration, among others. He correctly identifies problems that are top issues for our constituents, but rather than elevate the solutions available, he joined his fellow conservatives in fearmongering and scapegoating.
"Whether in hopes of special treatment or in genuine belief of the ultra-conservative Trump talking points he parrots, this mayor seems willing to either stand alongside Trump, or to look the other way in the face of an agenda that harms the same people that the mayor claims to represent."
