Hillary Clinton let Bill de Blasio down during the 2016 election, the mayor says in a new book.

In a post-election interview in the book, de Blasio tells author Joseph Viteritti that had Clinton listened to him and other progressives, she could have won.

In one remark, he zings both Hillary and Bill Clinton.

“Although I opposed the DLC [pro-Bill Clinton] (Democratic Leadership Council) and its centrist politics, I had real hope for Hillary,” de Blasio says in Viteritti’s “The Pragmatist: Bill de Blasio’s Quest to Save the Soul of New York.”

“I thought she would eventually take a stronger position on income inequality. She could have generated more support if she had taken a stronger stance, and done it sooner.”

Everybody hates Bill de Blasio.

The Tooth Fairy would only stop by to knock his teeth out.

Inexplicably, this article ends with Orthodox religious circumcision.

IMHO...this video is what cooked her goose. Also that head-bobing, eye-spastic scene.

Hillary somehow disrespected him by not following his suggestion?

How ego maniacal of de Blasio.

She never worked for her campaign. I was shocked at how uninvolved she was, spent time at fund-raisers instead of rallies.

Her loss was due to arrogance. She was so sure the fix was in she coasted to election night.
