De Blasio can’t escape police union protesters on the campaign trail
Mayor Bill de Blasio was welcomed in South Carolina Saturday by a retired NYPD officer who was protesting him.
The mayor, on a swing through the state just days after joining the crowded Democratic field of candidates, was met by the retired NYPD officer at a local BBQ joint in Orangeburg, S.C.
The city’s Police Benevolent Association posted photos of the former cop with a “Liar” foam hand and a sign that read “Mayor Bill de Blasio is no fan of labor.”
On Thursday, the PBA and Black Lives Matter activists came together outside the Times Square studio of ABC’s “Good Morning America” to protest his presidential bid.
