New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called out Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg’s previous support for stop-and-frisk policing, saying his predecessor as mayor is “out of touch with what Democrats are looking for and talking about right now."

"This is a guy who really reinforced the status quo every chance he got in New York City, and I have spent literally six years undoing what Michael Bloomberg did, and stop and frisk is one of the most obvious examples, but there’s a lot of others” de Blasio said Monday in an interview with "The Young Turks."

“With stop and frisk, I can’t tell you how many years people pleaded with Michael Bloomberg. Leaders in the African American and the Latino community said over and over, 'this was hurting our children.' This was holding back our communities, creating a rift between police and community.”

Bloomberg endorsed a "very aggressive approach to policing in a country, bluntly, that still is coming to grips with the reality of race-based policing. That is what he encouraged," de Blasio said in the interview.

1. De Blasio and The Young Turks

[Autumn]

2. Are you saying De Blasio is a liar?

[LuvNewcastle]

3. I'm saying The Young Turks is a joke of a show

and de Blasio is making himself look foolish by going on it.

5. I doubt de Blasio has the same bias against people you do. I never watched podcasts til lately

I find I like them because most people in that media don't lie, twist and omit facts like the MSM does and the person being interviewed gets to actually talk.

7. There are some great podcasts out there, I agree.

Just not that one.

8. I enjoyed this episode. There was a lot about Bloomberg I had never heard before.

Thanks for the thread Autumn.

6. You're welcome Uncle Joe. Lately I've gotten into podcasts and saw this at The Hill.

I'm going to watch it later. TYT get slammed a lot. I'm thinking there must be a reason.

9. Bloomberg has not apologized for racial profiling, the heart of what hurt PoC in NY
