David Dinkins, who was elected New York City’s first black mayor in 1989 and famously referred to the nation’s largest metropolis as a “gorgeous mosaic,” died Monday night, sources told The Post.

RIP David Dinkins, the worst mayor in the history of NYC.

I don't know, I think De Blasio has him beat in that competition.

Bill DeBlasio is reaching to beat him.

The FIRST thing this piece of garbage did (good riddance!) was to spend $11,000 of taxpayers’ money on a new fancy custom headboard for his Gracie Mansion bed—not kidding. This oaf was also responsible for the Crown Heights pogrom resulting in the death of an innocent rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenblum. Until DumblASSio, he was by far the worst mayor of NYC ever.

Oops-—meant Yankel Rosenbaum. Cat on keyboard major distraction!

I was taught if I can’t say anything nice about someone....I’ll leave it at that.
