'The mayor should step down': Rudy Giuliani condemns Bill de Blasio's response to riots

Rudy Giuliani is calling for Mayor Bill de Blasio to step down over his handling of the George Floyd protests that have turned into riots in New York City.
Giuliani joined Fox Business's Maria Bartiromo Tuesday morning and said the city needs someone who can control the mayhem as de Blasio has proven himself "incompetent."
“This action did not have to happen if we had a vaguely competent mayor. This should have been stopped five days ago. I mean, couldn’t they have stopped some of that? We have watched now over and over again people looting, throwing Molotov cocktails, burning cars, and now putting our police in prison, in hospitals, and virtually no major arrests are made,” the former mayor of New York City said.
“The mayor should step down. He’s incompetent,” he added.
Riots have raged across the country in the wake of Floyd’s death while he was in police custody in Minneapolis last week. Protests began peacefully but soon evolved into riots with looting, assaults, destruction of property, and clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement.
New York City has established an 11 p.m. curfew, but the fifth day of protests still proved another chaotic night, especially in Lower Manhattan.
“He’s been a terrible mayor for six-and-a-half, seven years. Terrible. There isn’t a person in the city that will tell you he hasn’t been a terrible mayor. But now we need a vaguely competent mayor because people are going to die if this man doesn’t get out of the way and let the police department do their job,” Giuliani added.
