New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio takes the Big Apple back to when it had high levels of crime 30 years ago with “pro-criminal, anti-police” policies, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Thursday “Fox & Friends “.
Giuliani’s remarks come amid reports that shootings and violent crimes have been spiked amid the already crippling coronavirus pandemic, which he blames on Democratic leadership ignoring the problems.

“The last time this city was like that, the last time the city had riots and crime at this level, we had a Democratic mayor. Already in that period of time we had 30 years of massive crime. So, if this sets in. , it will not end, “said President Trump’s lawyer. “We need a change in leadership.”
Will Cain, a new host of “Fox & Friends Weekend”, interviewed a restaurant owner in Midtown Manhattan who said he noticed an improvement under Giuliani’s leadership in trade and security, but shared that he recently wore metal roses over his windows put in crime because of the recent spike.
“These things happen in these cities because the Democrats have pro-criminal, anti-police policies. The reason it happens is not Donald Trump. Donald Trump did not release 8,000 people from prison. The Blasio did that,” he said. said Giuliani, also accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo. “I mean, there are kids living next to sexual predators as a result of these two idiots.”

The former mayor slammed Blasio for his treatment of COVID-19, which completely devastated New York City in the early spring.
“The president acknowledged it four weeks before the mayor,” Giuliani said. “It is the mayor who, after the president cuts off all contacts with China, invites people to go out to parties and tell him that it is not that bad. So stop all this nonsense about the president pandemic abuse. Cuomo didn ‘t get it for three weeks and then he filled our nursing homes with people who did not have to die, and that he tried to blame the president … The Democrats blame it. the president for things she actually did. “
On Wednesday, the Blasio tried to defend the first lady Chirlane McCray against backlog after it was discovered that she had paid private staff millions in the tax money and apparently she is looking for the president of Brooklyn Borough.
Some of McCray’s employees, who combine city taxpayers’ nearly $ 2 million a year, work for the first lady’s $ 1.25 billion mental health initiative ThriveNYC, which came under fire for its lack of metrics.
“His wife would be under great scrutiny if they were not Democrats,” Giuliani said. “You know, in this country, Democrats are hardly ever investigated and they are hardly even prosecuted by a Republican justice. She went away with murder with that Thrive thing … no audits … no reports. Money just flows in there and no one needs to find out what she did or did not like. “
In a 2019 report, Politico described ThriveNYC – a $ 850 million broad program to address mental health – as having an “opaque budget” and operating with little responsibility.

“Everyone knows this man is corrupt as hell and no one is doing anything about it,” Giuliani said of the Blasio. “He also does not like everyone. Not even Democrats like him. And blaming the president is so completely ridiculous. I think people around him laugh.”
But Giuliani called the homeless crisis the Blasio’s “worst abuse to date,” because more New Yorkers are experiencing homelessness than ever before.
“I wrote an op-ed piece about three years ago that said a city with homeless people has a mayor who does not love people,” he said. “Because if you have a heart and a conscience and you see someone who is homeless, you are doing something about it.”
