lots of people abandoned the city.

But, you don't get to leave town when the going gets tough and then claim you were with us all along.

When this city got attacked on 9/11, its economy devastated, thousands dead, environmental crises, desperate need for aid, Bernie was irrelevant. Clinton got the job done for us.

Bernie has done nothing for this city, or this state.

He is a Vermonter, not a New Yorker, his outdated accent doesn't change that.
