Yikes. Sounds like things are pretty bad in East Harlem:

DAY 2 NO RUNNING WATER: Hundreds of families in 3 buildings still don’t have running water at the Taft Houses in East Harlem. A water main break caused 9 buildings 3,000 people lost water service. Live at 5:15 with the latest on when water will be restored. @PIX11News pic.twitter.com/3VlDFGWQI9 — Monica Morales (@monicamoralestv) February 24, 2020

New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay is pretty sure she knows what’s going on here:

Ah, yes. Gotta be Trump’s fault, right?

New York Times editor thinks the federal government controls the water in Harlem. — SmegmaCumLaude (@PhCheez) February 24, 2020

Yes, Harlem not having water is definitely Trumps fault not any local politicians…. — buffettologist (@bufetmastermind) February 24, 2020

Pretty sure the President of the United States isn’t the Mayor or the Governor of New York. https://t.co/pZtBZAqTsI — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) February 24, 2020

The national government’s job is not to fix the problems of local communities. If NYC has a problem look to the mayor. — Tyler Boliver (@TylerBoliver) February 24, 2020

The president has no power over nor responsibility for water main breaks in cities. Make civics education great again, please. — InTheRightColumn (@TheRightColumn) February 24, 2020

2 Democrats run NYC and NY. But Trump or something. — Just Wing It Baby! (@FanWingo) February 24, 2020

Dems run NY. Own it. — Larvin Mewis AKA Big Sek C ? (@exnflscout) February 24, 2020

Considering your state is run by @TheDemocrats, perhaps you should ask them. https://t.co/UcLwEacf3V — Chad Felix Greene (@chadfelixg) February 24, 2020

And acknowledge where the problem lies? Please. Mara knows where her bread is buttered; she’s not about to say anything bad about New York City’s Democratic leadership. Not when Donald Trump can be blamed instead. Seriously:

Public housing is a federal program, thanks — Mara Gay (@MaraGay) February 24, 2020

Solid B+ for effort, Mara!

The New York Times Ed board member blaming Trump for New York City housing problems is a bit too on the nose. — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) February 24, 2020

"Why isn't Trump a dictator who makes the Democrats not suck?" is a hell of a take. https://t.co/JTpNiNMnBT — Eric Spencer (@JustEric) February 24, 2020

NYT got some real galaxy brains on their editorial board. — Stanskie bby (@Stanskie_bby) February 24, 2020
