Mayor Bill de Blasio is still struggling – and not just Andy Cohen – for dancing with his wife at the beginning of New Year’s Day in Times Square, after the public was banned from meeting there due to COVID-19 restrictions. .
The mayor became an easy target after his post tweeted a clip de de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray taking the stage to Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” after the ball fell on the Crossroads of the World to sound in 2021.
Meghan McCain, co-host of “The View”, has now joined him to criticize the screen, calling it “deaf to tones”
“You were always basically the worst politician in modern history – but closing NYC [and] Having your own private party in Times Square is really * kisses from chefs * the most deaf thing I’ve ever seen a mayor do. Everyone hates you DeBlasio, ”McCain tweeted.
Another woman accused Blasio on Twitter of “Openly mocking the citizens of New York who are prohibited from being in Times Square while you dance in the space created by the restraint of the riot.”
And a third Twitter user said, “Total lack of self-awareness. Embarrassing.”
Earlier on New Year’s Day, Cohen appeared to start criticizing Blasio, first taking a shot of live tequila on CNN.
“That’s how I felt when I saw the Mayor of Blasio dancing just now,” he said. “I just don’t need to see this in the beginning of 2021,” said Cohen.
A spokesman for de Blasio ignored the insult to Fox News.
“It is not the first time that I have heard a drunk person complain about someone’s dance moves,” said a representative to the outlet.
Times Square looked like a ghost town on Thursday night, the first time in 114 years the New Year’s Eve show was held without the general public.
De Blasio and McCray were present at the discreet celebration to start the traditional midnight ball.
Artists and several hundred first respondents were also allowed in the area.
