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

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?
