New York Rep. Max Rose castigated Bill de Blasio, a fellow Democrat, as the worst mayor in New York City history in a seconds-long ad released Wednesday.
“Bill de Blasio is the worst mayor in the history of New York City,” the Staten Island Democrat says in the 15-second spot. "That’s the whole ad," he adds after a brief pause.
A spokesman for de Blasio fired back on Twitter, questioning whether Rose "prefers Fernando Wood," a reference to the city's 1850s-era mayor who wished for the state to secede during the Civil War.
Rose was one of several Democrats in 2018 to flip a GOP-held seat, defeating Rep. Dan Donovan (R-N.Y.) by just under 4 points.
