Jesus Save Us: New York Post Reports Mayor DiBlasio Dropped Groundhog "Charlotte," Who Then Died of Injuries Consistent With a Six-Foot Fall...
But the Zoo Covers the Death Up

This is a silly story, except it's not.

The Democrat Party and the government (not to mention the media) have simply fused.

Even silly things like this -- the accidental dropping of a groundhog on Groundhog's Day -- are now covered up.

A week after Hizzoner dropped Staten Island Chuck in front of a crowd of spectators on Feb. 2, the winter-weather prognosticator died of internal injuries -- and then the coverup began, The Post has learned.

Staten Island Zoo officials went to great lengths to hide the death from the public -- and keep secret the fact that "Chuck" was actually "Charlotte," a female impostor, sources said Wednesday.

The zoo told a few Staten Island Zoo supporters, but claimed the groundhog died of natural causes.

The stand-in was found dead in her enclosure at the Staten Island Zoo on Feb. 9 -- and a necropsy determined she died from "acute internal injuries," sources said.
She had fallen nearly 6 feet when the mayor lost his grip during the Groundhog Day photo op. Sources said her injuries were consistent with a fall.

Instead of revealing the sad loss, the zoo -- which gets nearly half of its $3.5 million in annual funding from the city -- told the staff to keep the mayor's office in the dark about the animal’s fate.

It's a trivial thing, a silly thing, a minor understandable loss in grip of a semi-feral animal.

And yet, of course, it's covered up, like everything else.

Not even the little things are safe enough to tell the public now.

Glenn Beck has a really good P-shop for this.
