Woke up this morning to the alarming sound of
Mayor Bill De Blasio endorsing the unspeakable immigrant-hating Kathy Hochul in New York's lieutenant governor primary over her rival candidate Tim Wu, who unlike Hochul is known to believe many of the same things as the mayor:
on Wednesday she received her biggest and most unlikely endorsement yet: from Mayor Bill de Blasio, the liberal leader of New York City, who pronounced her “a true progressive.”
“I’m proud to support Kathy,” Mr. de Blasio said, as Ms. Hochul stood by his side.
I was really taken aback for a moment, and then I realized, "Oh! He's only lying," and went back to sleep, completely reassured.
