Cuomo slams de Blasio handling of riots, claims he has power to ‘displace’ mayor but not ‘at that point’ | Fox News
The rioting has to stop before citizens get fed up with watching their businesses and property literally go up in flames while those who have taken an oath to protect them stand down and do nothing. Sooner or later people are going to band together to protect themselves and their property. This is THE LAST thing we need right now. We'll get it if this goes on much longer.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday slammed Bill de Blasio's handling of riots in his city, calling it a "disgrace" and saying he has the power to "displace" the mayor -- though doesn't want to at this point.
"The NYPD, the mayor did not do their job last night," Cuomo said of New York City's mayor. "It was a disgrace."
He said the mayor "underestimates" the scope of the problem, suggesting he needs to deploy more police.
In an extraordinary statement, he went on to say his "option is to displace the mayor ... bring in the National Guard" and essentially "take over."
