Mayor Bill de Blasio and wife Chirlane McCray didn't let coronavirus stop them from traveling 11 miles from Manhattan to Brooklyn's Prospect Park for a leisurely stroll — eliciting outrage from New Yorkers, online video shows.
"Seriously, you guys have a park. You live in the middle of a park. You don't need to non-essentially travel to Brooklyn," Twitter user Darren Goldner says, referencing Carl Schurz Park near Gracie Mansion, in a clip posted to Twitter Saturday.
Hizzoner responds, "C'mon guys give it a break," as he and the first lady continue to walk away.
"I'm not going to give it a break. This is selfish behavior," Goldner shouts to the backs of the mayor and McCray. "This is so terribly selfish. You call yourself a progressive, but you chauffeur yourself to Brooklyn. You force people to drive you."
It's not the first time de Blasio and McCray have been spotted walking in Prospect Park since the coronavirus pandemic started.
Before non-essential businesses like gyms were ordered closed amid the coronavirus crisis, de Blasio regularly made the journey in an SUV motorcade to the nearby Park Slope YMCA from Gracie Mansion.

You have to love some left wing elitism. Do as I say peasants.

He claims to be a progressive & grifted onto @BernieSanders campaign. But BdB parrots talking points at a national level without understanding their meaning in his own context.
His actions tell us who he really is
Austerity for the working class, privilege for the ruling class
The mayor is not the only liberal elitist to hold a “do as I say, not as I do” viewpoint.
The New York governor’s brother, CNN “Cuomo Prime Time” host Chris Cuomo, publicly shared that he tested positive for COVID-19 in March. However, in a radio interview April 13, Cuomo railed against a cyclist who confronted him about being out and about on Easter Sunday despite being infected with the virus, according to the Post.
Stunningly, CNN still broadcast Cuomo’s dramatic emergence from supposed quarantine, despite his recorded tirade against the bicyclist who caught him.
That is the way of our bi coastal liberal elite wannabe rulers over us from NYC, Albany, SF, and Sacramento. The time for the resistance has come!
Funnier than that lardass Christie on a closed beach. The locals will be by to stick up for him.
Indeed the wannabe tyrants will always have their local defenders...
For the elites, the rules never apply to them. And if you have to ask why, you are part of the problem. Know your place.

Like Trump's mini me not wearing a mask to visit a VA hospital or even Trump himself when out in public?
