Bill De Blasio’s Hometown Paper Laughs At His Presidential Announcement

NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 20: New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio speaks to the press following a visit to the Cayuga Center in East Harlem, a facility currently accepting children separated from their families at the southern border, June 20, 2018 in New York City. According to Mayor de Blasio, the Cayuga Center in East Harlem is holding over 230 children who were separated from their families crossing the southern border. On Tuesday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said he plans to sue the federal government over their policy of separating immigrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, as hundreds of children separated from family have ended up in facilities in New York State.

Ouch.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio woke up to a mocking front page Thursday from the New York Post, as the mayor became the latest Democrat to jump in the 2020 race.

De Blasio, who has a 42% approval rating, according to Quinnipiac, focused his campaign announcement on working people.

But the New York tabloid doesn’t seem to be taking the bid too seriously.

The mayor’s presidential bid didn’t even make the front page of the city’s other major tabloid.

  1. Isn’t NYP conservative? Isn’t it normal to laugh at any Democrat?

  2. Yep, the Post (AKA the paper for people who move their lips when they read) is a Murdoch rag.

  4. When you’ve lost the New York Post…

    The Post is a rag. But DeBlasio’s candidacy is a joke.

  5. True, but the Post has hated DeBlasio forever.
