On Monday, Sliwa said he has been deep in the sewers many times.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with affected residents, Sliwa claimed the debris piled up in the system without regular cleanings, which caused water to back up out of the sewers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what you have in the sewers, ok? You have all the debris that De Blasio has not had removed,\u201d he explained. \u201cBoth in the streets because they\u2019ve cut back on street cleaning and sanitation, and then all of the flotsam and jetsam that flows into the sewers hasn\u2019t been removed by the Department of Environmental Protection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the residents concurred with Sliwa by saying she has tried to get the city to fix the problem for years, although she has been met with little to no success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe funny thing is, I put a request in every year to clean all the catch basins. This year, when I did it, I never saw them drop that damn shovel once,\u201d she expressed. \u201cAll they were doing was driving around the block.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">While deBlasio, AOC &amp; Schumer came for a photo op, Curtis Sliwa took the time to speak with the people ravaged by the flooding.  To understand what&#8217;s going takes time, but that&#8217;s what being Mayor of the best city in the world, New York City, demands<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OU1jOQifKE\">https:\/\/t.co\/OU1jOQifKE<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NYC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NYC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Curtis Sliwa for NYC Mayor (@CurtisSliwa) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CurtisSliwa\/status\/1435028932819050500?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 6, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Surveying the damage on Monday, Democrat De Blasio was joined by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to find a culprit for the floods. According to the mayor, so-called climate change was the biggest contributing factor for the historic disaster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to just finally say, our leaders in Congress, these are two of the people who have been sounding the warning on climate change for years,\u201d he stated. \u201cCongressmember, God bless you for the Green New Deal. We\u2019re applying it right here in New York City\u2026 but the bottom line is, this is what climate change looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio Cortez, for her part, agreed with the mayor as she blamed climate for the disaster. Other residents in the city however, have not been so quick to believe the nebulous D.C. talking points.<\/p>\n<p>According to a New York Post report on Monday, many resident strongly disagreed with the far left lawmaker.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/seattle-could-lose-200-more-police-officers-due-to-vaccine-mandate\/\">Seattle Could Lose 200 More Police Officers Due To Vaccine Mandate<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A teenager cleans water out from a car in a flooded Queens neighborhood that saw massive flooding and numerous deaths following a night of heavy wind and rain from the &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-728042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=728042"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728042\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=728042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=728042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=728042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
