New York Mayor Bill de Blasio summarily canceled the annual Macy's Day Parade on Thanksgiving this year, citing coronavirus concerns, but ignores left-wing activists who violate City Hall's own mitigation edicts, Seth Barron, the associate editor at the City Journal, said Monday. "The Macy's Day parade is a good example -- this is an extremely popular national event. If we had it, it would signal 'hey New York City wants tourists -- maybe we can't have everyone now but we are open for business [and] this is what the future holds.'" Barron said de Blasio often targets "cheerful and wholesome" entities because patrons of those types of things tend to "obey the law."
