New York City Councilman Mark Levine was slammed for his hot take on a potential spike in coronavirus cases.

The Democrat representing Manhattan neighborhoods took to Twitter Wednesday morning to declare that “racism” deserves the blame for any sudden spike in cases of COVID-19 in the city, and protesters gathered en masse weeks after thousands have died in the state due to the illness will bear no responsibility.

“Let’s be clear about something: if there is a spike in coronavirus cases in the next two weeks, don’t blame the protesters,” Levine tweeted. “Blame racism.”

Protestors weren't arrested you *sswipe, rioters were.  All he's doing is insuring more riots.
