Mayor de Blasio’s wife is branded ‘a disgrace’ for having staff of 14 – including a $70k videographer who filmed her BAKING COOKIES – while crime soars after $1bn NYPD cuts and trash piles up on streets as 22,000 city job face the chop. These people have zero self-awareness (a Democrat trait), and they’re greedy. She also “lost” $850 million of the cities money. Meanwhile, the peasantry starves, or have left.

• Another is $150,000-a-year senior adviser Dabash Negash who was recruited in April – one week after de Blasio announced a hiring freeze
• New Yorkers voiced outrage on Twitter calling the news ‘maddening’
• Her 14-strong team comes as her husband warned 22,000 city workers could lose their jobs in the fall due to the toll of the pandemic on the city’s budget
• De Blasio has already axed $1 billion from the NYPD budget while crime surges
• Cuts have also been made to essential public services leaving rubbish piled in the streets and homelessness rife
