\n Mayor Bill de Blasio\u2019s own staff have excoriated him in public letters and with an unprecedented march across the Brooklyn Bridge over his handling of citywide protests \u2014 but that didn\u2019t stop Hizzoner from declaring Friday that he\u2019s the nation\u2019s greatest mayor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the strongest mayoralty in the country, in every sense, and the strongest city in the country, in every sense, and we can persevere through all sorts of challenges and we will. So I\u2019m quite confident in what we can do in the next year and a half,\u201d the term-limited mayor boasted at his daily City Hall press briefing.<\/p>\n

And he said anyone who doubts that doesn\u2019t have a firm grasp on reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think anyone who questions the ability of this city government to do what we\u2019re here to do \u2014 and my ability as mayor to use all the tools of city government even in a time of crisis \u2014 doesn\u2019t really understand the reality of New York City,\u201d de Blasio claimed.<\/p>\n

The mayor was responding to a tsunami of criticism from former allies \u2014 including two of the city\u2019s most prominent black politicians, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and Councilman Donovan Richards \u2014 over his handling of protests in the wake of the Minneapolis police-custody killing of George Floyd.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a very difficult few weeks, a lot of passions, a lot of deep feeling, a lot of strong views. I don\u2019t take any of it lightly,\u201d de Blasio said of the criticism \u2014 before dismissing it.<\/p>\n

Richards, a lifelong resident of southeast Queens who chairs the Council\u2019s public safety committee and is running for Queens borough president, quickly fired back on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cCheck your privilege, Mr. Mayor,\u201d wrote Richards (D-Queens), who is black, of the white de Blaiso.<\/p>\n

He later added: \u201cI was born and raised in Southeast Queens with multiple NYPD encounters. Including being stopped and frisked at 13 years old with guns drawn on me. Name your first NYPD experience <\/span>@NYCMayor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIs it time to remove this white man from office? #askingforafriend,\u201d Councilman Carlos Menchaca (D-Brooklyn) tweeted.<\/p>\n

Williams, a Brooklyn native who last week accused the mayor of hiding behind his black wife and children, Tweeted:\u00a0\u201cOh, please do splain to us kind Mr. Mayor sir. For the record: I am city-wide elected official, after serving on the @NYCCouncilI was educated in the NYC Public School System, Pre-school to MastersAnd, BTW, I was born, raised and spent my entire life here\u2026.how about you?\u201d Williams wrote.<\/p>\n

De Blasio, a devoted Boston Red Sox fan, was born in Manhattan but raised in Massachusetts. He returned to New York to attend Columbia University.<\/p>\n

De Blasio\u2019s latest dismissal of criticism come just days after current and former de Blasio staffers marched from City Hall to Brooklyn\u2019s Cadman Plaza \u2014 the scene of a bloody confrontation between cops and protestors last week \u2014 to upbraid the man many of them still call boss.<\/p>\n

That march came days after a largely black crowd of mourners turned their backs on de Blasio as he spoke at a Cadman Plaza memorial for Floyd.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
