Democrat Bill de Blasio, the embattled mayor of New York City, earned bipartisan scorn after a few inches of snow brought the city to a halt due to his epic incompetence.
New York was blanketed in a piddly 4 or 5 inches of snow yesterday, which caused widespread traffic gridlock and a multi-car accident on the George Washington Bridge (GWB).

“This is beyond ridiculous and completely UNACCEPTABLE!” Democrat Vanessa Gibson tweeted.
I’m tired, hungry, running out of gas and patience, I have to use the bathroom, I’m still stuck in traffic BUT I’m safe! Only God to thank for that because of the HORRIBLE response to today’s snowstorm! This is beyond ridiculous and completely UNACCEPTABLE! Just terrible!

“Somebody dropped the ball. No way a few inches of slush should bring the greatest city in the world to its knees,” Democrat councilman Justin Brannan of Brooklyn tweeted.
Somebody dropped the ball. No way a few inches of slush should bring the greatest city in the world to its knees. I've got constituents saying it took them 4 hours to get home. And not a snow plow in sight. WTF happened?

Democrat Scott Stringer, the city comptroller, observed: “The City clearly didn’t properly prepare for tonight’s snowstorm — it’s a mess.”
The City clearly didn’t properly prepare for tonight’s snowstorm — it’s a mess. My office will be following up with the Department of Sanitation to demand answers.

Republican state assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis said: “It is clear our Mayor and his commissioners were not prepared for today’s snowfall.”
Meanwhile, others enjoyed the light blanket of snow–just like they should. “OMG. So romantic! Carriage ride in Central Park in November snow!”
