New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio got some laughs -- though not for the reasons he expected -- when a top labor union played his video message to a crowd in Iowa on Wednesday.
The 2020 hopeful sent a video message because he couldn't make it to a labor forum held by the AFL-CIO's Iowa Federation of Labor. When it played, the audio sounded abnormally high-pitched, prompting Washington Post reporter Matt Viser to crack that the mayor "sounded like he’d gulped a canister of helium."
Whoever was operating the video equipment appeared to try and fix the audio as viewers could see a mouse pointer moving across the screen and a box popping up over de Blasio's face.
DE BLASIO CONTINUES FEUD WITH TRUMP, SAYS 'HE WILL NOT BE WELCOME BACK' IN NYC AFTER PRESIDENCY
It's unclear what caused the apparent malfunction but the 2020 hopeful's high-pitched voice prompted audible laughter from the audience.
Campaign spokesman Olivia Lapeyrolerie blamed a "technical glitch" when reached by Fox News, writing in an email: "It was obviously a technical glitch. I cannot believe you a [sic] writing a story on this."

A high talker.
LOL
I don’t want to talk ill of a good man who has passed on AND a man who received a medal as a medic in Vietnam embedded with the marines, i think.
But his voice was SO HIGH.
But he was a better and tougher man than me and he treated my sister and nephews and nieces great so #### it.
It just DIDNT match who he was. Maybe that’s why it was so striking.
First time I ever saw Taps and a couple of guns at a cemetery. Not 21.
Miss ya Joe.
I think he started his Gender Transformation!!!!!!!!!!!!
New career as Alvin the Chipmunk.
Well he is married to a lesbian!!
And his wife stole a bunch of money meant for mental health..she wont be investigated though since she’s a commie
Hey how are ya? :)
And a lesbian.
Black, commie AND a lesbian.
That’s the non investigated Trifecta!!
Does DeBlasio believe he will still be NYC mayor in 2025?
By all accounts, Abraham Lincoln’s voice was high pitched. Most actors who portray him try to use their deepest voice I guess because that’s what they think he must have sounded like.
There was also some evidence that he may have been gay, no?
But it’s backwards thinking to try and link the two.
Very backwards, I guess.
And my BIL was a nurse too way before it was a little more common for men to be nurses.
But he wasn’t gay.
n.
Had a bunch of kids with my sister and I caught him more than once checking a woman out.
Oh well.
Bad things to judge a person on.
That could be confusing when you call the house.
I understand that General Patton’s voice was not at all as portrayed by George c. Scott. High and ‘screechy’ IIRC Omar Bradly described it.
Wow.
I always pictured him sounding like George C. Scott :)
I’m sure it’s possible to hear his voice in some old clip or something...or maybe not.
As an aside, I heard some people think he was murdered.
HE DOES HAVE THE SEINFELD HIGH VOICE!
Wow.
