No, he went with staff and security detail. We paid for that.

And every time a Mayor does this, journalists report on it and people get angry. It continues to be unethical and shady as hell.

I mean, you could say that about most acts of corruption and other illegal things but that doesn’t mean we don’t work to stop it.

There are bigger things happening in NYC, so why are we supposed to be cool with the Mayor wasting tax payer money and his time on a dumb ass vacation to Greece and Qatar with the weakest justifications? A summit in Greece on antisemitism? For real?
