The mayor, hopeful Andrew Yang, was bewitched and called ‘pro-cop’ during a Tuesday night in New York with a bicycle ride against police murder of Daunte Wright.
The Democratic candidate rode with about 150 cyclists from the Barclays Center via the Brooklyn Bridge to Lower Manhattan before being confronted.
“Do not use our protest for your publicity,” a woman told Yang through a megaphone when the group stopped at Battery Park around 7:50 p.m.
“We do not want you here. You’re a pro-cop, ‘the woman said, according to footage from The Post.
Several members of the protest, which had thinned out by that time, then sang a disgrace on Yang as he drove away.
Last month, Yang called for more funding for the NYPD’s Task Force Asian hate crimes amid a spate of violence against the vulnerable community.
Yang’s statement, made during a protest against anti-Asian attacks in Chinatown, was initially received with applause, but others in the crowd then roared and chanted, “Defend the police,” according to videos shared from the scene .
