This idiot has criticized Trump's response, but when his own words are brought up he says we "don't have time to look back".
Just another Dimsocialist hypocrite.
De Blasio admonishes critics not to 'look back' on his previous efforts to downplay coronavirus
With the Big Apple now the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Sunday that critics should not be "focusing" on "anything looking back on any level of government right now" -- including his previous statements urging his constituents to go about their lives and not worry about the virus.
On Jan. 24, de Blasio said New Yorkers should "continue living as you have"; on Feb. 14 he said, "this should not stop you from going about your life ... from going out to Chinatown and going out to eat"; and on Mar. 13, he reiterated "we wanted people to go on about their lives." The Trump administration restricted travel to China on Jan. 31 in response to the mounting coronavirus threat.
Confronted with those soundbites on CNN's "State of the Union," de Blasio initially downplayed the comments before ultimately acknowledging that the questions were "fair."
"This is just about how we save lives going forward. Everyone was working with the information we had, and trying of course to avoid panic," de Blasio began. "The bottom line is none of us have time to look backwards. I'm trying to figure out how we get through next Sunday, and what we do the week after that."
When anchor Jake Tapper reminded the mayor that he has harshly criticized President Trump's response to the crisis, de Blasio insisted that he had argued in real-time that coronavirus testing was insufficient.
At the same time, de Blasio continued: "There's no time to go back over that; there's only time to focus on getting through the next week and the week after that. You can ask all the questions you want. They're fair. But I think the time to deal with these questions is after this war is over. Because literally here in New York City, it feels like a wartime environment."
