New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is defending a call he made to police in which he inquired about a political supporter’s arrest.
De Blasio made the call after the Monday evening arrest of Orlando Findlayter. He is a bishop and was a member of the mayor’s inaugural committee.
De Blasio, a Democrat, said Thursday that the call was “appropriate.” He says it is unusual for a clergy member to be arrested and he wanted to know what had happened.
