‘Oh, dear’: Clueless Bill de Blasio can’t read the room, announces run for Congress in newly drawn district

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio formally announced on Friday that he will be seeking the Democratic nomination for the newly drawn 10th Congressional District, vacated by Rep. Jerrold Nadler who will run in another district.

“The polls show people are hurting. They need help. They need help fast, and they need leaders who can actually get them help now and know how to do it. I do know how to do it from years of serving the people of this city,” de Blasio claimed on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “And so today I’m declaring my candidacy for Congress in the 10th Congressional District of New York.”

“I’m very proud of having led this city out of the worst of the COVID crisis,” de Blasio proclaimed. “I’m ready right now to serve and address the issues that are so deep in communities in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and I just wanted to come here, a place that I cherish, and with you who have been such good friends to tell you this is the next step and I want to serve the people of the community that is my home and that I love.”

De Blasio announced an exploratory committee just days ago on the possibility of running for Congress. He ran a similar poll earlier this year debating whether to run for New York governor but decided not to after he came in far behind Gov. Kathy Hochul in the Democratic primary.

Redistricting in New York has panicked Democrats. Nadler, who is the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, could potentially butt heads with Rep. Carolyn Maloney, another powerful committee chair. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, who is the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, has also created political upheaval by announcing he will run against freshman Democrat, Rep. Mondaire Jones.

De Blasio was by all accounts a very unpopular mayor. His time in office was plagued with controversies and contention on a wide range of issues including law enforcement and his pandemic response. The former mayor has admitted to making a number of mistakes that cost him his capital with New York City voters.

“I failed to give New Yorkers a clear sense of where I was taking them. I lost my connection with the people because I mistook real policy for real popularity. I let a focus on individual initiatives, no matter how noble or substantive, distract me from offering an overarching vision for the future,” he narcissistically and arrogantly claimed in an Atlantic op-ed.

“When it comes to being unpopular, I’m unfortunately somewhat of an expert. I made my fair share of mistakes,” he wrote only half-owning the mess that he left in his wake as mayor.

Social media is an indicator of just how hated de Blasio is these days.

“Bill de Blasio is so removed from reality he really thinks people want him in Congress 😂. Somebody lock this dude up in a mental institution for life already,” one commenter bluntly stated.

Another nailed de Blasio’s opinion of himself, “No one has misjudged their likability more than Bill de Blasio.”

Author and photographer Steven M. Bellovin posited that his run was definitely a mistake, “Oh, dear—Bill de Blasio says he’s running for Congress. Just what the Democratic party doesn’t need—and if he were to win, just what the country doesn’t need.”

Others piled on, expressing their deep dislike for the former New York City mayor:

New York’s congressional primaries will take place on August 23.

  1. I really thought we were finished hearing about this scumbag. Demoncrats are incapable of logical thinking, so this clown will probably get elected. Don’t fret. It won’t take long for some scandal to take him out again.
    I don’t understand how he can think that he did a good job as mayor. The place is a hell hole now. It was much better BEFORE he became mayor. Lightfoot probably thinks she’s doing a good job too.

  2. What his wife didn’t get to steal enough money from the city now he wants to give her a chance for the country. What an ego. He destroyed NYC , that’s why you lost thousands of people who fled NY. He ruined peoples lives during covid. He’s completely clueless. But New Yorkers always vote dem, so watch him win, then he will destroy things more.

  3. For every corrupt, bigoted, racist, America-hating, pedophile-loving lib who wants to run for office, there are a bunch of like-minded scum-bag voters who will put them in office.

    He has a 50/50 shot.

  4. De Blasio promises to bring his New York City policies to the rest of the country.

  5. The problem de Blasio is that people DID know where you took them and most didn’t like the final destination AT ALL! However, democrats seldom learn from their mistakes and did it all over again with Eric Adams.

  6. No doubt that district will elect a democrat anyway so what difference will it make, one clown or another. This is just another demonstration of this particular clowns stupidity.

  7. The elections of Red Bill and the black De Blasio, Adams, just prove that NYC dems are not only mentally ill, but, are masochists.

  8. New Yorkers should donate a hailstorm of lead to Warren Wilhelm aka DiBlasio, his anti-white black lesbian dominatrix beard who controlled him and stole millions from the city and her two imbecile loathsome test tube spawn.
