He’s Bill de Bogotá.
Aging hipster former Mayor Bill de Blasio recently gallivanted down to Colombia with his terminally online new girlfriend and an alleged Chinese Community Party-linked lefty group to denounce American imperialism, The Post has learned.
The under-the-radar trip in January saw de Blasio join an “emergency” conference — Nuestra América — to defend democracy and peace in the Americas after the controversial US capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro that month.
The ex-Hizzoner’s far-left trek drew disbelief and derision from many New York City political insiders, particularly because de Blasio jetted off along with Code Pink — an anti-war group bedeviled by accusations of ties to Beijing, sources said.
“It’s not that Bill de Blasio does not know Code Pink is a CCP front group, it’s that he is so desperate for relevance and validation that he does not care,” a Democratic operative scoffed.
“It’s really bottom-barrel stuff that he has to pal around with a bunch of anti-American nuts no one actually takes seriously.”
The leftist summit was organized by Progressive International, an umbrella group that aspires to “eradicate capitalism everywhere” and includes Code Pink as one of its member organizations.
Code Pink, founded as an anti-war group in 2002 ahead of the eventual US invasion of Iraq, is infamous for its colorful, disruptive protest stunts — such as members showing up clad in KKK costumes to antagonize President Trump’s first-term Attorney General Jeff Sessions in 2017.
