He probably fears for his personal safety because he owes money to the mob, and can't pay them back with mayoral favors.
Update (2:00 P.M.): Reached for a response, the de Blasio campaign accused Mr. Lhota of baseless fear-mongering.
Its disappointing that Joe Lhota continues to take a page out of the right-wing, Giuliani playbook with his baseless fear mongering, said de Blasio spokeswoman Lis Smith in a statement.
Bill de Blasio will make New York safer by ending the overuse of unconstitutional stop and frisk, improving relations between the police and community, and emphasizing smarter policing tactics. Its clear that New Yorkers are embracing Bills positive vision and rejecting Mr. Lhotas divisive rhetoric, she continued.
