“George Gascon is just not solely a narcissist, he refuses to collaborate with anyone, particularly with individuals who disagree with him,” Hatami instructed Fox News.
“I believe a very good mayor – any individual who promotes and considers public security and the unhoused disaster a precedence – will actually have a serious affect on town and still have a serious affect so far as speaking to the district legal professional and telling him that he wants to carry individuals accountable for his or her actions.”
