New York City’s former Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio was punished – at least partially – for his misdeeds.

He was slapped with a nearly half-a-million-dollar fine for abusing his former position and using police officers as his security detail during his botched presidential candidacy.

DeBlasio, a well-known promoter of wokeism, COVID totalitarianism, and other idiotic ideologies, staged a miserably failed bid for the Democrat Party’s nomination for the 2020 presidential elections.

During his campaign, he made headlines first and foremost by forcing NYPD officers to act as his security detail, even though they had no obligation to do so.

Yet, he is now getting what he deserves. The NYC watchdog, the Conflicts of Interest Board, slapped him with a $475,000 fine because he “misused government resources.”

The fine in question is the biggest one to have ever been issued by the authorities of New York City, New York Post reports.

De Blasio was billed $320,000 to reimburse the city for expenditures the NYPD made to provide him with security around the country – plus another $155,000 in a punitive fine.

The biggest fine in the city’s history comes over a year after his abuse of power was detailed by the NYC Department of Investigation, whose report proved he violated ethics standards.

Jocelyn Strauber, the commissioner of the DOI, wrote in a statement that the watchdog “reaffirmed” her team’s conclusions, demonstrating public officials were being held accountable for gross violations.

De Blasio’s failed presidential campaign was a disgrace. It only lasted four months and he never gathered more than 1-2% support in the polls for the nomination that eventually went to Sleepy Joe Biden.

The disgraced, woke ex-mayor, however, wasted no time showing more of his arrogance and impudence. His lawyers have been quick to file a suit against the fine in the Manhattan Supreme Court – calling the decision to punish their client “arbitrary and reckless.”

Much of De Blasio’s time as NYC mayor was ridden with public scandals. He also used his NYPD security detail for personal “errands” – such as driving his son to a job in Brooklyn and helping his daughter move residences.
