Tim Wu reacted on Wednesday morning to news that Mayor Bill de Blasio will endorse his opponent Kathy Hochul today, saying the mayor will be "serving as an accomplice" to Hochul's "misrepresenting her record."

Today at noon, de Blasio, City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, and members of the Council will join Hochul on the steps of City Hall to endorse the former congresswoman.

"Of course their values aren't in line with Kathy Hochul's," said Wu, a Columbia law professor who is running an insurgent campaign for lieutenant governor. "When it comes down to it, Kathy Hochul's record is out there. No one can look honestly and deeply at that record and say she's a progressive Democrat.
