First lady Chirlane McCray’s pet project to erect more city statues to women is a monumental failure, critics say.
Mayor Bill de Blasio’s wife started the effort two years ago — yet has chosen only one artist for a single monument so far.
A rep for McCray insists her boss’s She Built NYC effort had to be temporarily shelved because of the coronavirus, but critics note that construction restraints on the Big Apple amid the pandemic were lifted several months ago — and claim City Hall’s incompetence and scattered priorities are really to blame.

Aren't statues, by their very nature, phallic?

Go ahead and build all the monuments you want New Yorkers, you have already set the example for tearing down. Your "historical monuments" won't mean a thing.to the upcoming generation and they'll have a lot of fun following your distaste for history.

First Lady ? She might be the mayor's wife, first lady no. In fact, that photo looks like the money went up in smoke.

Must be the rest of NYC taxpayer money went into the toilet of de Blasio's pocket, or maybe to his paid BLM and Antifa rioters.

If I remember correctly, the woman chosen in the poll was Mother Cabrini which didn't sit well with McCray.

It takes a long time to find an artist worthy to sculpt her likeness.

Women are much better at tearing statues down, especially the rich white ones. If Playboy was still an item they could do a great feature, "The Girls of Antifa." Problem is, most men would not want to see them naked.

How did such a minor incompetent couple get elected, twice, to head a major city? It's really unbelievable.

She Built New York had to be shelved because it is utter nonsense. Amazing how the worst mayor in NY City's history happens to be married to the worst First Harridan.

She is a one-woman debacle. I guess she’s a female. Of some species.

The thing that has always amused me about Chirlane is that she calls herself a “former lesbian”. I thought that was a major sin in the LGBT community - that people can’t and shouldn’t try to change their homosexuality. Some states have even forbidden people from going to psychiatrists to try and change from homosexuals to heterosexuals. Yet they let her get away with it because she meets all of the other leftist criteria. Kinda like letting Slick slide on multiple rape allegations.

Follow the money on this apparent fiasco and see who gets a cut from all the taxpayer’s money that is being thrown out there.

It’s the perfect economy! One group puts up statues, another tears them down. Full and perpetual employment according to socialist-utopianist logic.

This lost me right away with "First lady Chirlane McCray’s pet project".
The title of First Lady belongs to Melania Trump, not the wife of New York City's mayor.

McCray is an excellent example of a leftist parasite, a parasite who thinks she's entitled.
