BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Hillary Clinton and mayor Bill de Blasio’s skit caused gasps in the audience at the annual Inner Circle Dinner in which many people deemed offensive. It began when she poked fun at de Blasio for his endorsement coming a little late in the game for Clinton’s taste. “I just have to say thanks for the endorsement, Bill. Took you long enough,” she said to laughter.
“Sorry Hillary, I was running on C.P. time,” de Blasio responded to a mixture of chuckles and gasps. CPT is known as “colored people time” the stereotype that African Americans generally tell as a reason for being late to an event or a traditionally black event not beginning on time.
Clinton joked that she wasn’t referring to that CPT but rather “cautious politician time.” She later explained at a press conference that it was obvious a joke. “I would never say anything offensive about black people that would easily set them off, especially while one of them was on stage within an arm’s reach. I may have said and done some dumb things in the past with quite a few of them being illegal, but I’m not suicidal because everyone knows these people can be rough!”
