NEW YORK'S NUTTY MAYOR – AT 12:07 P.M.  ET:  His city was just hit by a terrorist attack, but New York Mayor Bill de Blasio still proudly reminds us that he's a left-wing nut job.  From Polizette:

In the wake of a radical Islamic terrorist attack on New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio is telling citizens not to worry about the threat of jihadist violence and pushing for even more questionably vetted migrants to be resettled in the United States.

De Blasio and the mayors of London and Paris co-wrote an op-ed in which they said terrorism committed by refugees is “vanishingly rare.”

“Militant violence is vanishingly rare,” the trio wrote in The New York Times on the heels of three separate attacks in the United States.

The comments are not likely to go over well in a city on edge after the explosion. Police arrested Ahmad Khan Rahami after a shootout in New Jersey Monday. Authorities allege he is responsible for planting bombs in New York and near the site of a charity run in New Jersey.

Rahami is not a refugee — he is a naturalized citizen, having moved with his family to the United States from Afghanistan. Acquaintances say he returned from a trip to Pakistan a changed man, suddenly devout in his faith and wearing traditional Muslim robes, according to The New York Times.

COMMENT:  One would hope that the profound observations of His Honor would lead the people of New York to escort him out of City Hall in next year's mayoralty election.  But this is New York, so most voters will probably ask their psychiatrists who to support.
