Under the bus De Blasio goes

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton pushed blame onto New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for the racially tinged skit the two performed at an event last weekend.

"Well, look, it was Mayor de Blasio's skit. He has addressed it, and I will really defer to him because it is something that he's already talked about," Clinton told Cosmopolitan in an interview published Tuesday when asked if she thought the joke was "inappropriate."

In a skit at an annual New York City press dinner performed by Clinton and de Blasio, Clinton thanked de Blasio for his endorsement, but added: "Took you long enough."

"Sorry, Hillary, I was running on C.P. time," de Blasio responded.

"C.P. time" commonly means "colored people time," a term used as a stereotypical excuse for African-Americans running late.

"Hamilton" star Leslie Odom Jr. responded: "I don't like jokes like that."

Then Clinton delivered the punchline: "Cautious politican time."

The two politicians came under fire for the skit, which followed a controversy over former president Bill Clinton's defense of his wife's "superpredator" remark and argument with Black Lives Matter protesters.
