On Sunday, New York City overruled Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio’s decision to close ice rinks in Central Park operated by an organization run by former Republican President Donald Trump, who was acquitted by the Senate of charges he incited an insurrection.
“The city is doing a full ‘180’ on its plan to shutter Trump-operated ice skating rinks,” The New York Post reports:
“City Hall on Sunday reversed Mayor de Blasio’s move to shutter Lasker and Wollman rinks in Central Park six weeks ahead of their typical April closing dates in an effort to freeze-out his political rival.”

Malliotakis, who was previously a State Assembly Member, took office in January after defeating freshman Democratic congressman Max Rose in a bitterly contested November election. Malliotakis, a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, is the only congressional Republican representing New York City.
