Wednesday at the National Action Network’s annual convention, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio praised Rev. Al Sharpton:

”I just want everyone to know: I am proud to stand with Rev. Sharpton, To borrow a phrase from our youth, reverend — he’s the real thing.”

“I am Rev. Sharpton’s fan, I must admit, But there may be an even greater fan of Rev. Sharpton in my household: the first lady of our city, Chirlane McCray. And we both value his advice and his guidance.”
