Hours after New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio criticized “the Jewish community” for failing to adhere to social distancing orders during a large funeral held in Brooklyn, he issued an apology, but said he had “no regrets about calling out this danger.”
“If in my passion and in my emotion, I said something that in any way was hurtful, I’m sorry about that,” de Blasio said during a press briefing Wednesday. “That was not my intention. But I also want to be clear: I have no regrets about calling out this danger and saying we’re going to deal with it very, very aggressively.”
