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.

No offense to douche bags.
Lucky he didn’t get a milkshake. The left is fine with such tactics as long as they can count on us not being so.

Good Lord.
Sue on the grounds it violates traffic safety standards and creates a hazardous situation.

Anyone caught painting “MAGA” would be charged with vandalism.
I say again - it’s not a mural....it’s graffiti! Arrest their asses for defacing public property!
It’s art because they spelled everything correctly. Progress.
Yep. Defund the police and spend the money on Black Lives Matter street paintings. That’ll fix that nasty crime problem.
Good way to motivate the Senate and Trump to send New York some more bailout money.

I saw that too.
didn’t Trump abandon NYC for the better state of Florida?
Did they all line up and moon the building? A bunch of immature juvenile jerkoffs.
