New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) is warning Americans of the danger of reopening the nation at the rate President Donald Trump wants it to.
De Blasio considers Trump’s call on citizens to liberate states “troubling.”
He explained he understands Americans want to get back to normal and get back to their jobs. He does not understand reopening the country at the expense of Americans’ lives.
“What does liberate mean? Liberate means being free,” de Blasio said, adding, “Being free from danger. Having the security of knowing you can live your life. Well, you know what, if we don’t protect peoples’ health, we’re not going to be liberated.”
Check out his comments below:

He received backlash for his orders from lawmakers.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) weighed in on the matter, as IJR previously reported.
She urged Americans not to “take the bait” and claimed it was another way for Trump to distract from his plan to combat the coronavirus.
