FROM CROTON'S OWN TOM FARANDA'S FOLLY:  DE BLASIO RUINED NEW YORK CITY---

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on outgoing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio:

 

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio's last day in office is New Years Eve. What he has done to the world's greatest city is incalculable: he has been an unmitigated disaster.

 

He is often compared to Mayor David Dinkins, but the comparison is unfair. While Dinkins did great damage, which was undone by Rudy Giuliani, he was merely incompetent. De Blasio's war on New York City was deliberate, a clear example of what happens when a Marxist takes over.

 

De Blasio's life has been built on a series of lies. He was born Warren Wilhelm Jr. in 1961. When he graduated from New York University in 1983, he changed his name to Warren de Blasio-Wilhelm. In 2002, he changed his name again, settling on Bill de Blasio. More important, he never stops bragging how he is the champion of the poor, yet when he ran for mayor in 2013, he accepted $50,000 from a group of slumlords.

 

When the New York Times nailed him for his allegiance to "democratic socialism" (which is an oxymoron), he said he never used those words. When shown the proof that he had, he answered, "It doesn't matter.".........Marxists hate religion, especially Catholicism.   READ MORE HERE
