Bill de Blasio made headlines when he crapped on then-New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s policy proposals, telling the Times of London, "While the ambition is admirable, the cost estimates—reportedly exceeding $7 billion annually—rest on optimistic assumptions … about eliminating waste and raising revenue through new taxes."
"In my view," de Blasio said, "the math doesn’t hold up under scrutiny, and the political hurdles are substantial."
As we’d soon learn, though, it was not the former New York City mayor the Times of London had spoken to, nor was it a man "falsely claiming" to be Bill de Blasio, as the Times of London suggested. And, though the New York Times said it was a de Blasio impersonator, that wasn’t true, either. Shocker.
No, the Times of London spoke to Bill DeBlasio, a patriotic Long Island wine importer who went to sleep on Oct. 26 an ordinary man and woke up a legend.
Weaker men might have corrected the dimwitted British journo who knew so little about the far-left de Blasio that he’d think for a second the former mayor would criticize Mamdani for not doing "the math." But not Bill DeBlasio. No, he took the opportunity to explain why Mamdani’s batshit crazy policies won’t work.
Warren Wilhelm, who spent two terms as New York City mayor under his nom de scène Bill de Blasio, is of course an evil man who needs no introduction. Best known for slaughtering an innocent groundhog—an apt metaphor for his mayoralty—Blaz spent his time in Gracie Mansion singling out New York’s Orthodox Jews during the COVID-19 pandemic and running for president on the platform of having a black son, a four-month campaign we completely forgot about until just now.
After leaving office, Wilhelm/de Blasio kicked his lesbian wife to the curb for Nomiki Konst, a progressive political operative and rich scoop of Greek yogurt half his age, before promptly cheating on her with the busty mayor of South Tucson, Roxanna Valenzuela.
His Long Island counterpart, meanwhile, didn't just take aim at Zohran, which would have been noble enough. After his interview with the Times of London went viral, he took a well-earned victory lap by trashing the former mayor's namesake, explaining to online blog Semafor, only "low-class Italians use a little d."
That Big D energy is what makes Bill DeBlasio a Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year.
