IS AL SHARPTON RUNNING NEW YORK CITY HALL FROM THE WHITE HOUSE?

IS AL SHARPTON RUNNING NEW YORK CITY HALL FROM THE WHITE HOUSE?

Rev. Al Sharpton was striding into the West Wing of the White House for a meeting with President Obama on Wednesday when his cellphone rang.

“Al?” the caller asked.

“Yeah,” Sharpton said.

“It’s Bill de Blasio.”

That being the mayor of New York, who was calling to inform Sharpton that New York City Police Department Commissioner Bill Bratton was appointing Benjamin Tucker as the NYPD’s new first deputy commissioner. The spot had been offered to Chief of Department Phil Banks, who turned it down and retired. Banks is black, as is Tucker.
