De Blasio takes senseless and irresponsible statements to a new level…

New York City mayor Bill de Blasio is blaming President Trump’s “rhetoric” for the racially-motivated murder of a black man in the Big Apple earlier this week.

In an interview with WNYC’s Brian Lehrer on Friday, de Blasio called the killing of 66-year-old Timothy Caughman by 28-year-old white supremacist James Jackson an “act of domestic, racist terrorism.”

Shortly before midnight on Monday, Jackson fatally stabbed Caughman from behind with a sword. Jackson, who traveled from Baltimore to commit the murder, said he was planning to kill more black men in Times Square.

De Blasio, a Democrat, attributed some of the blame to Trump.
