BREAKING: Bill De Blasio campaign announcement video




Tone-deaf moment 1: including shots of him being driven around in a car (he never takes the subway) while complaining about environmental issues

Tone-deaf moment 2: scene of him on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, where he wants to relocate a six-lane highway

11. Mayor Bloomberg rode the subway to work every day

Mayor De Blaso takes a police convoy every day from Gracie Mansion to "his" gym in Brooklyn.

Even if it's for show, he could have worked in some subway footage.

8. Buttigieg is the reason why he's running.

Why should he be the only mayor running for President? DeBlasio is the mayor of a city of 8 million, Buttigieg is the mayor of a city 1/16 the size of New York City.

Yet, they both have something in common: housing issues.
