During the hour-long debate, Sliwa went all in, taking direct shots at Adams, as the Democratic front-runner basically ignored him and spoke directly to the camera.
The candidates call each other names The moderators asked Sliwa for his reaction to Adams’s recent comments where he called him a clown and a buffoon, but also raised past examples of Sliwa and the Guardian Angels staging crimes for their group’s benefit. When the moderators asked if he stood by his word about Sliwa, Adams laughed, saying: “Well, I think New Yorkers are seeing the example of the clown-like actions.”
De Blasio gets a tough report card The moderators asked the candidates to rank Mayor de Blasio’s time as mayor, including his biggest success and failures; Sliwa was more than ready to talk about the failures. “Is there a grade below D-minus?” he asked. “F! The guy’s been a miserable failure.” Sliwa added that the outgoing mayor has “singlehandedly taken a Miley Cyrus wrecking ball to the city that we love.” Sliwa did acknowledged that universal pre-k was a success “right out of the box.
