Dave Portnoy: “New York Politicians are Stealing the Basic Right to Earn a Living” (Video)

BY LISA MICHELLE

“New York City just closed indoor dining. . . . New York politicians are stealing the basic right to earn a living,” rants the owner of DDTG Global Dave Portnoy in a video post on Twitter. This was in response to New York City Governor Andrew Cuomo’s newly imposed COVID-19 restriction to shutdown all indoor dining.

Shore News Network reports:

NEW YORK CITY, NY – New York City is back on lockdown.  Today, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the shut down of indoor dining in the Big Apple.  If that’s bad news for struggling restaurants on the brink of permanent closure, there’s good news.  Cuomo extended the ban on commercial evictions.  That means New York City landlords can’t evict local restaurants, instead, they will have to wait for them to leave once they go out of business.

‘These are common-sense rules,’ Cuomo said.  ‘You have to take action where the virus is active.’

Cuomo said indoor dining in New York City is a ‘bad situation’ and he followed through on his promise earlier this week to close indoor dining as of Monday.  Cuomo said outdoor dining and takeout will still be allowed.

‘The federal government must provide relief to these bar and restaurant owners,’ Cuomo said. ‘I understand we’re wiping out businesses, so we’re going extend the commercial eviction moratorium, so if a business can’t pay the rent, they can’t be evicted.

“Let people fucking decide for themselves…It’s not your place to tell me how to live my life,” retweeted Donald Trump, Jr., who cites Portnoy.

AMEN.

I bet that the politicians shutting businesses down & the media hacks supporting them would be singing a different tune if their paychecks were on the line! https://t.co/h2xr6w7bRR

Of course, it’s hard not to deduce that it is precisely what Cuomo and his minions aim to do — decide how and which people should live. After all, it was Cuomo who sent thousands of vulnerable elderly patients with COVID-19 to their predictable deaths when he forced New York nursing homes to admit them. Now, of course, he denies it.

This is how tyrants rule, and it’s far too much power in the hands of just a few.
