De Blasio blows off Post reporter in Germany
2017-07-09
[NYPOST] Mayor de Blasio -- forgetting that he’s accountable to eight million Big Apple residents -- blew off a Post news hound Saturday after he gave a speech in Hamburg, Germany.

The mayor did extensive interviews with German media after delivering a speech to activists protesting the gathering of world leaders at the G20 summit.

But when a news hound for The Post greeted de Blasio after he’d talked to the German news hounds, he smiled, turned and walked away without any acknowledgment.

City Hall front man Eric Phillips said de Blasio appreciated the chance to spend time with his son and to meet with German protesters. The mayor will answer answer questions after returning to US soil.

"It’s been a good trip. We’ll be back in New York tomorrow," Phillips said.

De Blasio and his aides were in Germany on the tab of Hamburg Zeigt Haltung ‐ or Hamburg Shows Attitude.

The mayor’s son Dante joined the party in Hamburg. Dante de Blasio, a student at Yale, has an internship in Berlin this summer.

#1  Blowing a reporter isn't the story. Sorry, blowing off. It's that he skipped out on both the police academy graduation and the wake after one of his cops was assassinated in order to prance about at the G20.
