As De Blasio Met With Police, His Staffers Urged Democrats to Bash Cops for Disrespecting Mayor

While New York Mayor Bill De Blasio was making plans to meet with New York City police union leaders, his staff was working the phones urging Democrats to blast PBA President Patrick Lynch and other officers who turned their backs on the mayor following the assassinations of two NYPD officers. How much more pathetic can you get?:

While Mayor Bill de Blasio was personally coaxing the city’s police union presidents to meet with him, his top aides were on the phones with lawmakers urging them to blast PBA President Patrick Lynch and other officers for turning their backs on the mayor following the assassinations of two of New York’s Finest, DNAinfo New York has learned.

As late as Monday afternoon — the same time de Blasio was speaking with police union leaders to set up Tuesday’s détente to possibly mend their fractured relationship — the mayor’s government affairs honchos were privately cold-calling the city’s Democratic delegation of city and state elected officials, asking them to publicly criticize Lynch and those officers who dissed the mayor.

“City Hall wanted me to blast the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association for turning their backs on him,” a Big Apple legislator told “On The Inside.” “They called up Monday, said they were calling all of us, and that it was our obligation to stand up defending the mayor.”

What a loser. Get a life, De Blasio. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the political skillet.
