| Description | Mayor Michael Bloomberg is quoted as saying that Public Advocate Bill de Blasio's campaign for mayor has been "racist" in an interview published online Saturday.
In the New York magazine interview Bloomberg characterized de Blasio's campaign as "class-warfare and racist," elborating that he was referring to the public advocate's use of his interracial family in an ad campaign.
De Blasio's momentum in polls has been attributed, in part, to those ads.
"I mean he’s making an appeal using his family to gain support," the mayor said. "I think it’s pretty obvious to anyone watching what he’s been doing. I do not think he himself is racist. It’s comparable to me pointing out I’m Jewish in attracting the Jewish vote." |
