Andrew Yang’s attempt to troll Bill de Blasio backfired Thursday, when the City Hall contender was chased away from the mayor’s gym in Park Slope by left-wing protesters before he could even speak.
About 10 protesters hoisting signs that read “Hedge Fund Mayor,” “Yang = More Cops” and “Don’t Rank Yang” ambushed the entrepreneur outside the Park Slope Y before a planned press event, leading the candidate to abandon the presser about three minutes after arriving and duck into a nearby subway station.
“I just wanted to acknowledge them and say hello, really,” the composed Yang said, when asked why he bothered attempting to speak to the agitators.
But his friendly approach to the protestors in Park Slope did not work, and the candidate fled the aborted press conference via the 9th Street subway station, where protestors continued chanting at Yang for a few minutes from the above ground.

It’s all smoke and mirrors. The so-called “left wingers” are harassing Yang to give the impression that he’s somehow a moderate.

DeBlasio still has the BLM Antifa folks on his side and they can assemble via social media in minutes. Yang better be careful, isn’t he Asian, he’s likely to be attacked by the BLM folks.

NYC will never have another Mayor like Rudy. Might as well elect the dude from The Warriors movie.

Wait. Those fools don’t want the cops back? Lol.

Any similarities between raving leftists and deranged Nanzis is purely coincidental...

Yup. Black supremecists sure hate crime on Asians. And Jews. And whites. And normal Americans who are black...

Yang wants to outlaw circumcision. I thought today’s liberals liked anti-Semites.

He wasn’t wearing the ribbon?
Or maybe he didn’t know the sign.

So 10 “protestors” and Yang could not get a substantial pro-Yang crowd with him to oppose these fidiots with handmade signs?
