We are pastors and leaders of Metro Industrial Areas Foundation, and we had an experience in March 2014 with the then-newly elected mayor that foreshadowed this tendency. During the primary season, Metro IAF and the Daily News hosted three mayoral candidate forums for all the major contenders. In those events, we had asked the candidates if they would attend a major assembly within three months of their inauguration if elected.
All the candidates, including Bill de Blasio, readily agreed.
De Blasio won, and then his time came. By the night before the assembly at the Brooklyn Marriott, all 2,200 tickets were issued. An additional several thousand citizens were eager to attend but unable to fit into the ballroom. The mayor’s top community affairs appointee called and said that the mayor had decided not to attend.
We asked, “For what reason? Didn’t he remember the promise he’d made?”
“The reason is that you insist on asking the mayor questions,” the aide said.

I'll bet Helen Ho said that...
But yet, these same people will re-elect BDB
And all 2,200 people that got stiffed that night will most likely vote for him again.
Zero Sympathy.

Ha.
"'Do you know what would happen if we de Blasio failed to be reelected? Jones would come back! Yes, Jones
would come back! Surely, comrades' cried Squealer almost pleadingly, skipping from side to side and whisking his tail, 'surely there is no one among you who wants to see Jones come back?'"

...and still, they insisted.
This is the best article of the year about the fauxgressive fucking fraud.
And...these are the same people that will re-elect him in November!
How can anyone vote for him again after behavior like this?
Michael Bloomberg did the same thing at the Glen Oaks Campus. Several Bellerose civics arranged for him to speak, his people agreed, then the day before the event his people called to say he wasn't coming.
He went to a baseball game instead. He lost a lot of votes that week.
Transparency,just like the Obama administration.
