De Blasio: ‘Goodbye to the Trump Organization; We’re Not Doing Any Business with You’

EXCERPT:

DE BLASIO: “In light of this criminal act the city of New York has determined that it is within our power to terminate all contracts with the Trump Organization. So we will no longer be doing any business at all. By the contract language we have the right to terminate contracts, obviously if a criminal act has been committed and a criminal act has been committed. So, goodbye to the Trump Organization. We’re not doing any business with you. By the way a lot of other people are not doing any business with you any longer. One of the contracts Trump Organization has had up to now is for a golf course in the Bronx and in that contract obligated to have championship golf tournaments there. Well guess what? The PGA just said they won’t allow any of their tournaments at Trump Organization golf courses. This criminal act has led a lot of companies, a lot of people to determine that things need to be different and we cannot accept the status quo where a criminal gets away with this. So we are acting. I want to emphasize that we’re working immediately to find new vendors to take over these facilities so we can continue to provide service to their customers. But it’s just really clear this president has committed an unlawful act. He has disgraced himself. He will no longer profit from his relationship with New York City. We will not allow it.”
