New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio thought it would be a good idea to hold a protest in President Trump’s old stomping grounds at Trump Tower.

This @NYCMayor presser/protest inside Trump Tower's public plaza is a visual disaster for Mayor de Blasio. Trump supporters are riding the escalators in the background, up and down, holding signs saying "Worst Mayor Ever" & "Failed Mayor" while heckling the mayor and activists. https://t.co/VXj8fxODHU

In my 3 decades covering mayors in NYC, I've seen many a protest at a mayor's event, but nothing quite like this. Trump supporters riding escalators behind de Blasio inside Trump Tower's plaza, signs reading "Worst Mayor Ever" & heckling, drowning him out. https://t.co/6OqWRwc2ti

One would think the Mayor might have thought twice about holding a press conference and protest in Trump’s back yard, apparently not guy…
Bill de Blasio @NYCMayor's Green New Deal press conference/protest inside the public plaza hounded by Trump supporters riding the escalators up & down in the backround, shouting and holding signs reading "Worst Mayor Ever" and other anti de Blasio messages.

What did @BilldeBlasio think was going to happen INSIDE Trump Tower?
70% of patrons are Trump supporters.
It’s Trumps building.
What a great reminder that NYC hates de Blasio and that Trump has his name on a lot of cool things.

Popular Conservative commentator and Scott Presser called the event “magical:”
He added, “I’m laughing so hard! Snake oil salesman de Blasio tried to sell the ludicrous Green New Deal, while Trump supporters rode the escalator behind him with signs.”
Other’s called the event a Circus..
WATCH:
I'm laughing so hard!
Snake oil salesman de Blasio tried to sell the ludicrous Green New Deal, while Trump supporters rode the escalator behind him with signs.
