Rats Are Taking over New York City. Thanks, de Blasio!
National Review ^ | May 22, 2019 | Kyle Smith

Probably not the headline you want to run in the first full week of your presidential campaign.

...

Fix the subways? Bill de Blasio can’t even fix the potholes. Fix the potholes? He can’t even keep the rats at bay. I suppose he could fill the potholes with the rats.

De Blasio’s presidential quest would on the surface appear to be a bit of a curiosity given that after considerable pressing of flesh in Iowa and New Hampshire he remains at 0 percent in the polls. Where do you go with that? “If I work hard, I think I can double my support”?

Also, why would he give the Post a stick with which to whomp him upside the head? Why do you keep hitting yourself, Bill?

RATs have taken over NYC practically forever. Even the Mayors with an “R” label were simply mislabeled RATs.

Oh, right...there are two kinds of RATs in NYC; the furry kind and the vermin!

Aww heck, it takes a rat to know a rat.

I can’t believe DeBlasio thinks he can be successful at running for President. I’m sure his family would make for interesting conversation. Wasn’t his wife lesbian at some point in her life? Not to mention scandals about these two.

Urban community gardens, composting, and huge greenhouses to grow culturally correct fruits and vegetables will solve this problem.

Garbage in Los Angeles! Rats in New York! Fecal covered sidewalks in San Francisco! Crime! The Democrats have turned America’s cities into hellholes, worse than anything in the Third World.

The Canadian province of Alberta is entirely rat free -- has been for many decades. That's no accident -- there are plenty of rats in every surrounding jurisdiction. It shows what a determined effort can do.

This morning it was this.

I'll post the same reply. You voted for this New York City, and you will again.
