De Blasio: NYC health commissioner won't be fired despite crass remarks about NYPD's coronavirus mask requests
Fox News ^ | May 18, 2020 | Vandana Rambaran

New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio said Sunday he hopes to "move forward together" with his health commissioner despite days of backlash after reports that she made disparaging remarks about police officers.

De Blasio said during his daily coronavirus briefing that he had spoken to Dr. Oxiris Barbot "to clear the air on some of the recent issues" and that she would remain in the role she's held since 2018.

Barbot drew ire from lawmakers and police officials alike after the New York Post reported she told NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan, who wanted more masks for officers on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic, "I don’t give two rats' a--es about your cops," during a phone conversation in March.

Democrats don’t fire fellow Democrats.
It takes a good time to find, nurture, and hire the absolute bottom of the barrel.

It begs the question as to what other individuals did this woman, responsible for public health, also not care about?

She got caught saying it about the NYPD but who else did she treat with such apathy?

She appears to be a liability for all health care recipients under her purvey as well as those working with her, both public and private.

Good. I think I support her. We never see the full quote of what she said, but I think she needed masks for more dangerous work than writing parking tickets.

She was talking to a NYC official. If you don’t have the words, “rat’s ass”, in there, they’re not listening. I doubt it broke his little heart.

It’s always such a great idea when people who are protected by law enforcement make fun of and show blatant disrespect and contempt for law enforcement.

de Blasio and his continual clown show would be hilarious if it weren’t sad and depressing.
