Thursday, December 1, 2022
NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- New Yorkers will soon be able to flaunt their support for the city's war on rats with a new trendy t-shirt.

"The rats are going to hate this announcement, but the rats don't run this city. We do," Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a news conference last month.

Tisch was outlining the city's Rat Action Plan to reduce how long residents can leave trash on the sidewalk.

Little did anyone know, her motivational, anti-rat sentiment would become a viral meme on TikTok, appearing in tens of thousands of videos.



Now, the city is partnering with the clothing line "Only NY" to make those famous words wearable.
