Stringer took the opportunity to try to stir up violent hatred against President Trump, ““If you had said to me, what would ultimately have my mother fall, I’d never thought it’d be some virus … Donald Trump has blood on his hands and he has my mom’s blood on his hands,” NYC Comptroller Scott Stringer says.”
