De Blasio heckled as he paints ‘Black Lives Matter’ mural at Trump Tower

Mayor Bill de Blasio was greeted with a few jeers as he showed up to help paint a giant Black Lives Matter mural on Fifth Avenue outside Trump Tower on Thursday — with a couple of angry onlookers shouting “douchebag de Blasio” upon his arrival.

The mayor joined first lady Chirlane McCray, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) to fill in the letter “L” with yellow paint for what some critics, including President Trump himself, have called a political stunt.

When he arrived around 11:30 a.m., two or three men shouted “douchebag de Blasio” at Hizzoner as he crossed the street.

“This is such an important moment for our city,” de Blasio told volunteers, who chanted, “Black lives matter!” while holding paint rollers. “We are making a statement today of what we value in New York City.”

De Blasio left about 20 minutes later.

The rest of the mural — which reads “Black Lives Matter” in massive block letters along Fifth Avenue between East 56th and East 57th streets — was painted by more than 20 local artists with the youth-focused organization Street Corner Resources.

It's a political message on public property via a deranged mayor with an infantile mentality. It's also harassment of a President. A new low for NYC.

Absolutely correct and in addition Mayor Kaiser Wilhelm just opened a can of worms. Black Lives MatterTM is a corporation that just had the mayor paint their advertisement on a New York City street. Now EVERY corporation in the country can ask for the same and when he refuses they can sue his ass off for unequal treatment under the law.

Let's see him get sued into painting Trump / Pence 2020.

Some enterprising groups of young people might be creative in re-purposing all that Yellow lettering with the color Red.

A pool should be started. How many days before black murder victims outnumber the letters spelling BLM?

Oh please Bill, allow another CHOP zone in NYC. This will be great.

Anyone, who calls printing out Black Lives Matter on a street a mural, is a worthless pos posing, as a human being.

This isn’t art nor a mural!

It is poor and untalented bs.

It does not even count as graffiti!

Most graffitti has some type of art form.

This has nothing to do with art.

Why don't we just put BLACK LIVES MATTER outside the GRACY MANSION (88th and East End Avenue) where de Blasio lives? Better yet, add the democrats are all confederates, Jim Crow promoters, and KKK members. Perhaps defund de Blasio’s police detail. Why are we playing defense?

Trump needs to completely divest out of NY. Sell it all.

It would be a shame if a hot tar truck drove over the street and they had a leak.

It would be messy.

I’m sure NY and NYC will take a hit just by having him switch his residence to Florida (as Rush did); the income taxes (at the state AND city level) must be missed.

A couple of years ago NJ’s wealthiest resident (David Tepper) moved to Florida, and the state budget had to be revised. ONE MAN!

What a childish publicity stunt.

Al Sharpon made sure he was in the photo.

De Blas making history as usual

He will make a great substitute for Biden if he (Biden) needs admittance to mental health hospital before the election.
