De Blasio Getting Flak For PSA With Image Of Yarmulke-Wearing Virus

“We should be coming together to combat this virus and the kikes who spread it, not playing the blame game over racial tensions.”

New York, May 20 – The mayor of the US’s largest city faced criticism today after the release of a graphic on City Hall’s official social media sites and on public transit facilities that shows the pathogen behind the current pandemic wearing a Jewish skullcap.

Bill De Blasio found himself at the center of an outrage storm Wednesday following the publication and posting of the city’s latest guidelines and admonishments informing residents and businesses what enforcement measures face violators of his coronavirus-containment measures, a set of posters and infographics that contain stylized images of the virus with the garment known in Yiddish as a yarmulke and Hebrew as a kippah. The controversy swelled after several other rhetorical moves by the mayor to single out Jews and Jewish communities in warnings about public health, despite scant evidence that violation of lockdown and social distancing restrictions occurs with any more frequency among Jews in New York than any other group.

A spokeswoman for the mayor sought to convey De Blasio’s confusion at the hubbub. “The mayor wants to know why people are so upset,” demanded Linda Sarsour, a close ally. “These professionally-offended activists must not care about public health, or are exploiting the ongoing crisis for political messaging, which is, I might add on a personal note, such a low, low move. Now we should be coming together to combat this virus and the kikes who spread it, not playing the blame game over racial tensions that wouldn’t exist in this city without those greedy Hasidic landlords gouging minorities on rent.”

Sarsour disclosed that the PSA series – which reminds citizens to wash hands with soap, wear masks, and maintain at least six feet of space between people not of the same household – was produced by a graphic design team she recommended to De Blasio. “I’ve used them before – they’re quite good,” she stated. “Choo-Bates is my go-to firm for all my sisters in the Women’s March who also idolize Louis Farrakhan and Rasmeah Odeh.”

The posters also feature a phone number and online form address through which residents can report sightings of violations. Pull-down menus ask the user to select whether he or she observed the violation at a synagogue, yeshiva, kosher establishment, or other Jewish facility.

Privately, aides to the mayor indicated that if the current set of restrictions and warnings fail to achieve the desired result, the city may have no choice but to deport Jews to Republican-run cities and states, where the media will bring proper focus to the local government’s failure to address the crisis.
