But, but, but: David Axelrod, the Racist Svengali Who Got “Obama” Elected, and Who is Close to Communist Mayor Bill “Big Bird” de Blasio, Blames Police Union for Their Members being Murdered; de Blasio is Merely “Speaking Truth to Power” and “Trying to Heal the City”

“David Axelrod, Obama’s longtime adviser whose former business partner, John Del Cecato, is a de Blasio adviser, said that de Blasio’s dilemma isn’t unique – it’s a burden borne by any progressive who wants to speak truth to power while wielding it. “My sense is that he sincerely appreciates both the hard job the police do and the gulf that exists today, and is trying to close that breach,” Axelrod said. “And he has to weather the storm and speak hard truths to police and the community and over time, the public will appreciate his role as a rational voice, trying to heal the city and move forward.”

Murder of NYC cops was sickening. But union's hit on @BilldeBlasio for addressing chasm between police & community only feeds tragic cycle.

Many people have responded by ripping Axelrod a new one at his Twitter feed.

@davidaxelrod You lost me at “but”. @BilldeBlasio

@davidaxelrod But @BilldeBlasio didn't "address the chasm." He just blamed the cops for it, and not the criminals.
