New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio had uncharacteristically strong words for protesters “occupying” City Hall, vandalizing city buildings and public statues, and taunting NYPD officers, but the mayor refused to say whether he would double down on efforts to remove the “autonomous zone” growing around the city’s government buildings.
After a video of protesters taunting police officers went viral Wednesday, de Blasio assailed the demonstrators for “vile, nasty” comments and accused the protesters of “degrading their own movement,” according to the New York Post.
