An insensitive remark. Drunk driving is careless, selfish, irresponsible and fully avoidable. How many lives lost due to someone doing this? Lives ruined and maimed?
He upset MADD, they tweeted back angrily. Good for them.
NYC Mayor de Blasio blasted over drunk-driving comment
New York City’s Mayor Bill de Blasio said in an interview Monday that he would categorize drunk driving “that doesn’t lead to any other negative outcome” a minor offense.
DeBlasio was asked on CNN about New York’s stance as a sanctuary city and its refusal to turn over illegal immigrants who commit minor offenses.
He said that he did not want to “see families torn apart” over something very minor. He was asked if he considered grand larceny and drunk driving a “very minor offense.”

Nothing minor when drunk driving kills or injures 300,000 people every year. That is a slap in the face to victims. @MayorDeblasio
