Important: Bill de Blasio photographed in Hamburg, Germany looking at things during G20 summit
As we mentioned Friday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio was getting an earful over his decision to hop a flight to Hamburg, Germany to hang around the G20 summit, despite the fact that his own city had just witnessed the assassination of a police officer and a serious train derailment. The trip also required him to skip out on aswearing-in ceremony for new police officers at a very sensitive time.
Of course the criticism didn’t stop global citizen de Blasio from burning some jet fuel, and on Saturday the mayor retweeted some local coverage of him and his son surveying part of the city that might or might not have been set on fire by anarchists.

Mayor de Blasio also found time for a quick postcard message to the folks back home:
I'm at the G20 talking about climate change, income inequality, and immigration issues where cities are showing the way forward. https://t.co/c4mj5E8NAV

Instead of mourning with the NYPD or welcoming the new officers. You are the scum of the earth.

While your city is falling apart and its police officers are being murdered, @NYCMayor. https://t.co/tpkqDzjwkn

Really? You dissed a very important police function to go there? Shows where your priorities lie. I don't get why people keep voting for you

Meanwhile, they are burying your police officers in NYC

De Blasio certainly can show the way forward when it comes to income inequality; a recent survey showeda 39 percent increase in New York City’s homeless population over last year’s count.
One way to fight income inequality is by working. You know, like you're not doing.

Income inequality? Is your income equal to everyone you are supposed to represent? What would NYC be without capitalism?

You never miss an opportunity to get it wrong. Maybe work more on the crime and unemployment environment in your city.

As NYC Mayor, shouldn't your priorities be to your constituents' safety and getting to work on time?

Capitalism built NY. Anticapitalists just destroyed Hamburg.

You're not "at" the G20 – you're not a world leader. You're just a mayor who showed up outside instead of doing your job in NYC. Go home.
