Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., told "Outnumbered Overtime" Wednesday that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio must be expelled from office, guaranteeing that the city won't endure him remaining in for the rest of this term.
Zeldin, whose area covers focal and eastern Long Island, said the locale looks to New York City as a stay and thought about the current conflict and distress in the city to the last long stretches of then-chairman David Dinkins in the mid-1990s.
"Mayor Dinkins left and you had Rudy Giuliani come in [in 1994]. There was a focus on the quality of life. [Rudy] saw the crime rates go down, the economy flourishing, the potential being reached," Zeldin said. "Here we are again, fast-forward through what has really been a terrible few weeks and months with the city going in the wrong direction.
"This is a tale of two cities," Zeldin added. "You have the direction that New York City can be filled with opportunity, it can be filled with law and order, safety and security, peace and prosperity -- or it’ll be this direction that Bill de Blasio is taking it down, which is chaos and lawlessness and poverty and a lack of opportunity."
As indicated by the New York Post, which referred to police information, the number of shootings in New York has significantly increased in the course of recent weeks contrasted with a similar period a year ago. The number of survivors of weapon brutality hopped to 304 from 100 a year ago.
De Blasio has somewhat accused the uptick in savagery for the coronavirus pandemic, highlighting an absence of a functioning court system among different issues.
De Blasio, who is term-constrained, will leave office on January 1, 2022. One expected Republican competitor for the mayorship, Canarsie local and Guardian Angels author Curtis Sliwa, slammed de Blasio during a meeting with the New York Post in March, during which he professed to be the main applicant with the onions to reclaim the city.
