These people are so exhausting:
Republican Joe Lhota doubled down on his attack on rival Bill de Blasio’s leftist past Tuesday, charging the Democrat’s strategy is drawn “directly out of the Marxist playbook.”
Lhota hit de Blasio’s work in Nicaragua in the 1980s, where he did humanitarian work as an ally of the lefist Sandinista regime, which was fighting the U.S.-backed Contras.
“Bill de Blasio needs to explain himself — and explain himself now — to the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers who escaped Marxist tyranny in Asia, Central America, and from behind the Iron Curtain in Eastern Europe,” Lhota said, amping up his criticism a day after he hit de Blasio for reportedly describing himself as a backer of “democratic socialism” in 1990.
“You first. Explain your support for the School of the Americas, nun and priest killing, Reagan’s refusal to grant asylum to refugees by the thousands, genocide against the Mayans in Guatemala, overthrowing democratic governments in Chile, Honduras, Guatemala, “disappearances” among the political opponents wherever these “graduates” returned in Latin America, and illegal arms sales to murderous thugs in Nicaragua.”
