NYC Mayor de Blasio Only Worked 7 Hours in the Month He Launched Presidential Campaign
“If he’s trying to show New Yorkers that he’s over doing the job, he’s doing a good job of it.”
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced his 2020 Democratic presidential campaign on May 16. The New York Post reported today de Blasio only logged seven work hours in that month.
Yes, the report only shows one month, but it has become apparent the low work hours in May is not an isolated incident.
De Blasio went to his office six times in May. During that time, he only attended two meetings and four events. He took five phones, but one “was his weekly appearance on WNYC radio.”
In May 2018, de Blasio had “50 meetings, calls and other events at City Hall” on his calendar. Overall, he had 152 city events in that month.
The New York Post continued:
One former aide said de Blasio’s virtual disappearance from the Big Apple’s official seat of power sent a troubling message.
“If he’s trying to show New Yorkers that he’s over doing the job, he’s doing a good job of it,” the ex-aide said.
Another former de Blasio insider called the mayor’s job performance “real bad.”
“At this point, you’ve got to wonder how much of his heart is really in it,” the source added.
This news will likely not help de Blasio. Legal Insurrection has documented the troubles de Blasio faces in his city.
Just last week the NYPD union voted “no confidence” in de Blasio and Commissioner James O’Neill over the firing of Daniel Pantaleo. He is the officer in the death of Eric Garner in 2014.
De Blasio and PBA President Pat Lynch have received criticism on inaction as officers continue to commit suicide. After nine cops killed themselves (the latest last week), de Blasio finally spoke up. He promised more mental health options for officers.
New Yorkers plastered the city with “missing” de Blasio posters. The signs read, “Last seen embarrassing himself in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. If seen please tell him to immediately return to New York and do the job he was elected to do.”
In July 2017, someone murdered a New York City police officer and a mother of three. The police academy graduated a new class of officers. De Blasio decided to skip town at this time to join protests at the G-20 summit in Germany. The New York Post destroyed de Blasio over his travel plans.
If de Blasio’s campaign was making a blip on the primary radar, I could understand a little bit. But de Blasio is close to dead last and has never gained momentum. His announcement came on May 16. CNN posted an article that day titled “The math is against Bill de Blasio in 2020.” A poll around that time found 65% of New York state Democrats would be unhappy if de Blasio became the 2020 Democratic nominee.
A Monmouth University poll taken before de Blasio’s announcement found the mayor “with a negative net favorability rating (-6 points).” He was the only Democrat to land in the negatives.
He has less than 1% of Democratic support in the latest CNN poll.

i have a proposal –
for any politician running for POTUS must resign or at the very least get approval from constituents and return salaries paid.
why are pols permitted to be paid while NOT doing their jobs ?
I’d up that to include any elected office, and remove the approval loophole, because that’s too easy to game (vote held on odd day with little publicity, etc)
And yet they voted this moron into office, knowing full well who and what he was. A pox upon the voters.
New Yorkers love pain and suffering….he’d win again in a landslide….
NYC Mayor de Blasio Only Worked 7 Hours in the Month He Launched Presidential Campaign
I dunno, I think if I were a NYC resident, I’d think that was a good thing.
In fact, maybe that was 7 hours too many.
Di blasio is being treated unfairly.
Obama seldom worked that many hours a month for 8 full years. And now he’s on his way to becoming a billionaire.
Why should he work? He has plebs for that. He, after all, one of the left hihest rated Dunning Kruger sufferers is well about debasing things like work.
Apparently, he isn’t using his free time to campaign either. His polling seems to be stuck at zero. At least he doesn’t have to fear seeing the dreaded “DeBlasio polling plummeting “!
I guess NYkers are better off when the Mayor is at large.
Since 2008, the new trend of corrupt morons in public office has taken a serious hold. But this oaf di blasio oaf has to be the most selfish person ever to hold office – as blatant as obama.
DeBlasio is the new Obama. You know–a “light” worker.
New Yorkers should consider themselves fortunate that the harm he can do was limited to 7 hours this month. Bet they wish it was that way every month. They’d be much better off.
How can they tell?
In my opinion, every legislator running for POTUS or other office must be required to make their votes. Voting days can be scheduled.
Governors, mayors and other “executive” office holders must demonstrate they are able to execute the duties of their office. This can be remote meetings, signing of key legislation, maintaining at least a part time presence in their jurisdiction.
7 hours per month doesn’t cut it. If the mayor of the largest city In the US can say with a straight face they were working enough time, why are mayoral jobs full time? How about part time position without benefits? Lets see them pay for their own Obama care.
7 hours???
No loss. The city is imploding and he is doing nothing to stop it.
His campaign is a clown car. Who would be stupidcenough to donate to it?
