NOW: Mayor de Blasio appears at a huge George Floyd rally in Cadman Park, Brooklyn—his first time in front of the protesters—and hundreds boo him & chant “Resign!” and “Fuck your curfew!”
Major boos now for the mayor. Raised middle fingers. Briefly drowned out by shouts if I can’t breathe! and Resign! He can barely start his speech.
Total disaster for de Blasio. My entire section of this huge crowd turned their backs on him. He could barely get a word in over the heckling. He gave up after about a minute and ceded the mic to George Floyd’s brother, Terence.
