Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio are coming under fire for a joke the pair made at a recent Democratic event. During the annual Inner Circle Dinner, the Democratic presidential candidate Mayor Bill de Blasio made a joke referencing a racial stereotype.
"I heard my name," Clinton said during a skit with de Blasio. "I just have to say, thanks for the endorsement, Bill. It took you long enough."
"Sorry Hillary, I was running on CP time," de Blasio responded.
"Cautious politician time," Clinton said. "I've been there."
The term "CP time" more commonly refers to "colored people" time, a racial stereotype. A spokesperson for the New York City mayor claims that the Mayor meant no offense by the joke.
"Let's be clear, in an evening of satire, the only person this was meant to mock was the mayor himself," the spokesperson told Pix 11 News. "Certainly no one intended to offend anyone."
