Congressman: Bill de Blasio ‘Should Have His Head Examined’ After Snubbing Hillary
Mayor Bill de Blasio’s failure to immediately leap onto the Hillary Clinton for president bandwagon calls for a CAT scan, Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, an upstate Democrat, said today.
In an interview with the Albany public radio station WAMC, Mr. Maloney expressed astonishment and outrage that the mayor would insist Ms. Clinton commit to a left-wing economic agenda before he makes an endorsement. The congressman noted that Mr. de Blasio served in the Clinton administration and managed Ms. Clinton’s 2000 campaign for the U.S. Senate.
“Bill de Blasio should have his head examined. I don’t understand why my friend Bill de Blasio would have any reservations about a person he worked for, about a champion for New York,” he told host Alan Chartock. “I just couldn’t disagree with him more.”
Mr. Maloney noted that Ms. Clinton has rented office space in Mr. de Blasio’s home borough of Brooklyn for her campaign headquarters, and argued that the Illinois-born former first lady “is always going to have New York front of mind when she’s in the Oval Office.” He added that he sympathized with the desire to pressure the former secretary of state on certain pet issues—but asserted that the only option besides her is a Republican austerity agenda.
