De Blasio: "Do as I say, not as I do"
From CBS 2:
As he vows to lower emissions in the city, Mayor Bill de Blasio is defending being driven from Gracie Mansion to a Brooklyn gym in an SUV every day.
During the mayor’s weekly radio appearance Friday on WNYC, de Blasio said cities have to take the lead on following the goals of the Paris climate accord after President Donald Trump announced the United States is exiting the deal.
A caller later criticized the mayor for his motorcade rides from the Upper East Side to a YMCA in Park Slope for his daily workouts, saying he needs to “step up his game” and “lead by example.”
The caller said, “You’re not going to be able to lead when you’re sitting in your SUV being chauffeured every day, 12 miles from Gracie Mansion to Park Slope just so that you can ride an exercise bike.”
“I’m just not going to take the bait, my friend,” the mayor responded. “I have instructed folks in my government to turn our fleet into electric cars. We are moving to renewables we are retrofitting our building. We’re doing all the things, that’s the real leadership, it’s not whether or not I go to the gym.”

Ah the elite limousine liberal, take a bike since you destroyed most city streets with the bike lane nonsense. You zero vision fool.
Why ? Is there NO OTHER gyms within walking distance or a bit more closer driving distance to gracie mansion? This mayor is FAR more stupid than what I had originally thought. Please someone throw him into the east river!
I don't understand why he needs a suv to get around. If he makes the argument that he is the mayor and needs to be driven fine, but why cant it be done in a smart car or a Prius? He would still be able to drive where he needs to go and it would be a lot less pollution.
There really is no need for these huge suv's and pick up trucks in this city. We aren't in the farms of the Midwest or the hills of the Adirondacks where you need these types of vehicles.
"Do as I say not as I do !"
This corrupt mayor is not a leader, he's a user and a liar. This putrid response is no surprise. He doesn't have the guts or even the decency to be in the same studio with Lehrer by calling from a phone.
And now he is out of control. This bag of dead dicks and shit now includes hubris.
He believes everyone, and that includes the people who voted for him, like that caller are out to bait him and get him by demanding accountability.
Primary De Faustio. Even if that means voting for Sal Albanese, whether you like him or not.
Could the Comrade not lead by example and use the ever growing,ever more complex, ever more useless web of BICYCLE LANES he has championed?
This is elitism and a TRUE tale of Two Cities...
The Baz is the consummate dick.
"I'm Not going to Take the Bait"???!!!
What an arrogant scumbag prick of a democrat politico!
Just answer the question asswipe...
Other newspapers have pointed out that there is a gym just three blocks from Gracie Mansion.
Alas, this public fool gives MENDACITY a bad name! He and his 'NOT PUBLICLY ELECTED' wife (whose entourage includes two personal assistant/lackeys to the tune of $350K——COMPLIMENTS of every languishing, overburdened sucker taxpayer)!
Worse, 'The Dope From Park Slope' is an empowered idiot SO LETHALLY CORRUPT and INSIDIOUS, that he and his cabal of intensely incompetent, cradle-to-grave government stooges now DEVALUE all honesty itself——to pathologically traitorous effect——and, the public be eternally dupeed, bilked, scammed and damned! Taxation WITHOUT representation never looked so egregious and derelict!

The photo op of the YMCA has run its course. Dumbell can start working out locally now.
Jeez. All of those drugs he took while at Columbia really fried his brain. He's so irrational.
Why cant they buy him the same exercise bike and if he needs his favorite instructor why not use Skype on a laptop ?
The security detail $$$ cost must be astronomical, why take all these cops off the street for these daily convoys.
Put a gym in City Hall.
He has earned this perk, so shut up, serfs!
The serf is YOU, last Anonymous——don't visit that serf bullshit on We, The People! As for everyone else in our crumbling society of government AMBUSH, TYRANNY and openly practiced ANARCHY, Everyone else has been held in a 'Hijacked-and-Held-in-Hostage' holding pattern for the past 40-plus years by a hyper-corrupt, entrenched, establishment-rigged, 'KLEPTOCRATIC KAKISTOCRACY-PLUTOCRACY' of epic, humanitarain (and ecological) fail!
That tall 'n stupid shithead hasn't earned ANYTHING——except impeachment forthwith——which is not a legal process, but a political process that can commence immediately, without further delay (EMPHASIS ADDED)! Otherwise, the public be damned (again and STILL)!
