Mayor Bill de Blasio says he has “no respect” for one of the most outspoken NYPD union presidents, who has repeatedly attacked the mayor — calling him a “disgrace” and a “liar.”
“The [Sergeants Benevolent Association] has only practiced division, they foment hatred … they do not try to help us move forward,” de Blasio said Thursday during his daily press conference.
“They don’t try to create anything good. I have no respect for the leadership of the SBA.”
SBA president Ed Mullins has repeatedly blasted the mayor on social media during his tenure, including once declaring “war” on City Hall — which landed him under investigation.
Most recently, Mullins had attacked de Blasio over his handling of the fallout from the George Floyd protests and the uptick in crime over the last few weeks.
“Truth is YOU ARE A LIAR you’ve allowed multiple murals, statues and government building to be vandalized and held the police from making arrest. You’re not governing just running your own agenda. A DISGRACE as a Mayor & Human being,” Mullins tweeted on Monday.
Mullins could not be immediately reached to respond to the mayor’s comment.
Mullins welcomed the remarks, quipping, “This is the first time since he’s been in office that he’s told the truth.”
“The City knows he hates cops and accountability, thank him for finally being honest,” the union honcho added.
