This morning we told you that New York City DOT workers were preparing to paint “Black Lives Matter” on Fifth Avenue right in front of Trump Tower. That task is underway:

President Trump had previously tweeted that the plan to do this would “denigrate” Fifth Avenue, but Mayor Bill de Blasio was on the scene and he said the painted words were “liberating” the street:
The Mayor is here:

First of all, where are the mayor’s mask police when they’re really needed?
No mask, as he yells and rants (spittle/saliva spray) next to a 65-year-old man. https://t.co/eJeKlnn3oW

Yelling without a mask standing next to a raging anti-Semite. Sounds like deBlasio.
He would still be reelected if he could run again. https://t.co/rLHoVwAheH

Where’s his mask news person?

Imagine the media reaction if that was Trump. But yey, it’s not like there’s anything else going on in his city for the mayor to worry about:
What are you doing about the crime surge you have unleashed? https://t.co/Yq79BJTpXz

No mask, meaningless gesture toward wokeness at taxpayer expense, while crime escalates city-wide, and Prada ad towering over all. https://t.co/8zpgzSJ6vA

NYC had 11 murders last weekend alone. Murder rate up 130% from last June. But sick burn, @NYCMayor https://t.co/hp6CzsZRfj

De Blasio sure does have his priorities.
