Republican NYC Mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa held a mask burning today and accidentally burned his hand.

Silwa soaked his hand in an ice bucket as he continued burning more masks.

Why is he burning them over a pipe?

Nothing says, “I should lead the city” like burning your own hand during a stunt like this.

Antimaskers say these masks are toxic, but then they’ll just stand there and inhale the fumes as they burn them.

Those fumes prove they need the very masks they are burning.

This is pathetic. Even fans of mask burnings have got to be disappointed.

Curtis Sliwa hired a group to sing a burning themed song and danced out to burn the masks.

It’s painful to watch, but Curtis Sliwa struggled to burn those masks. As the band finished singing Disco Inferno, they wrapped it up and left as Sliwa continued struggling to burn the first mask. They didn’t sign up for this.

Here you can see Sliwa checking on his burns as someone asks him to burn more masks.

Thanking Trump for how the pandemic was handled was his first mistake.

Anything reasonable Sliwa said evaporated after he began his QAnon mask burning street disco.

How it started How it ended

Sliwa used the anti-Black “burning down” cities trope and pledged his inexperience with fire: “won’t stop me from burning these masks.”

Is this someone’s walking cane that Sliwa is getting melted plastic all over? It has a red safety cap on the end.
