‘Mistake’ to reelect Bill – ex-sheriff

CONTROVERS­IAL exMilwauke­e County Sheriff David Clarke is taking aim at Mayor de Blasio — saying at an appearance in Manhattan Thursday that voters shouldn't make the “mistake” of reelecting him.

“You made that mistake once, don't do it again,” Clarke said at a “Pub and Politics” forum where he took the stage after a forum featuring three of de Blasio’s challenger­s.

The firebrand sheriff and fervent President Trump supporter, who faced allegation­s prisoners were mistreated in his jails, resigned abruptly at the end of last month. He has since announced he’s joining a proTrump super PAC.

“Mayor de Blasio was handed a great city by his predecesso­rs,” Clarke said at the event hosted by 77-WABC and Rita Cosby. “He took a pretty good thing, and it's starting to deteriorat­e.”
