Bernie lots of fun, says Blaz

- Jillian Jorgensen

ONE OF THE most fun parts of being mayor of New York City is meeting out-of-town politician­s — if you’re Bill de Blasio.

De Blasio was stumped Thursday when asked to name the most fun thing he got to do in his first term as mayor — before eventually landing on a single specific example of getting to meet Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

“I don’t know if I have a mostfun thing,” de Blasio said at a 1 Police Plaza press conference.

“I don’t have a perfect vignette for you,” de Blasio continued. “But, you know, just meeting the people of the city in every borough and every neighborho­od and hearing about their lives means a lot to me.”

“I’ve met some extraordin­ary people along the way, I mentioned having this growing relationsh­ip with Bernie Sanders, that’s an amazing thing, that’s been a fascinatin­g and positive thing, but so many other people as well,” he said.

“I always say, it’s not fun in the convention­al sense, but it’s rewarding.”
