CIVIC CENTER — Tempers flared during the second televised mayoral debate between Democratic Bill de Blasio and Republican Joe Lhota, over a controversial ad peppered with scenes of riots and dead bodies.
The ad, produced by the Lhota campaign, showed the disturbing images in an attempt to portray life under a de Blasio administration as returning to the days of high crime and unrest.
De Blasio claimed the ad was “race baiting and fear mongering” and used “racial imagery” in an attempt to divide the city.
“There’s nothing race baiting about it,” responded a visibly upset Lhota, who continues to trail de Blasio by more than 40 percentage points in public polls just two weeks before the election.
