The entire leadership in NYC is a pathetic corrupt mess. 🤦

Son: Dad l’m thinking of a career in organized crime

Dad : Government or Private Sector ?

[jyanharris]

Do you realize you just said he is to be presumed guilty Sir!! Wow! Said it right out loud ha!! Smh!

[TowardTreatise]

The Superdelegate Party really ought to change their name.. There's nothing 'Democratic' about them anymore. 💙

[johnbrown]

He didn’t tow the line for the migrants

[cappy]

Lol He shouldn't have talked negatively about 👽

[evertonricketts]

2:03 did he just say presumed guilty!!, I thought it was innocent 😂.

Why do NY mayors get in trouble so much?

[philschroeder]

Presumed INNOCENT, you mean! Can’t believe the host didn’t pick up on that. But nowadays, the press does presume you guilty.

Maybe New Yorkers should've gone with the Asian guy.

[JayRoberts]

He did what every politician does. What he really did wrong was go against his own Democratic Party one too many times

[jdleo]

Guess he thought he was Thomas! Above the law!

[CharlesLee-esjr]

Yes I'm talking in public!
Deny, deny, deny!
Witch hunt, witch hunt, witch hunt!

If only the FBI/DOJ were this ambitious in indicting the drug/human traffickers at the southern border.

[michelleautore]

Southern District of New York (they don't play!): Nonpartisan, professional—the guys in white hats. Mr.Mayor, you're toast!

[Independent-Journalist-Union]

Presumed guilty? I think he's got it backwards...Freudian slip?

[s.aminaayala]

"Presumed quilty" that was quite a slip!😮

[UnseriousAcademic-bx]

The US Attorney did not come to play...the indictment was carefully crafted and constructed on an incumbent mayor. Let that sink in.
