21. Where did I say anything about the Mayor of NY
who wanted people in low lying areas to "evacuate", not EVERYONE, just certain areas most likely to be affected. I don't stick up for Republicans or former republicans much, but he likely over reacted based on the baseless breathless reporting yet he wanted to avoid those very little areas being flooded. He didn't ask everyone to leave. Many NY's ignored him, anyway and frankly that was his efforts to coverup his being in the tropics vacationing while the city couldn't get snow removed. His beating on unions did him no favors during that real catastrophe. The Republican Governor of New Jersey is going to have to backtrack on the tens of billions claim.
