"The mayor’s notion that I and many others did not criticize the Biden administration or petition for funding and policy change in response to the surge of migrants is not only verifiably false, it’s absurd. We were in the streets, and we were in DC – just not for the Trump inauguration.”
"Unlike this mayor, none of us have pledged not to criticize the president, or ordered agencies to do the same. Also, unlike him, we chose not to pit longtime New Yorkers with little against new arrivals with less, after first inviting the early waves of buses. If he is intentionally misleading the public in his own defense, that is deeply troubling, but does track with past governing choices.
"I understand that the mayor is in crisis, and I try to remain focused on the work amid the noise. At the same time, my priority at this moment is providing New Yorkers with stability and the truth – unfortunately, at present, the mayor is providing New Yorkers with neither."
