Tweety just told de Blasio he needed to get a new joke writer
Tweety told him the CP joke didn't go too well. Of course Tweety just threw that out and moved on. Had it been Bernie and a surrogate doing that joke Tweety would be asking the surrogate why he did it, what they were thinking, should it cause Bernie to drop out of the race.
Even the New York Times is finally weighing on it about 24 hours later:

<New York magazine captured the exchange and asked “Does your wife, Chirlane, know about this joke?” referring to Mr. de Blasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray, who is African-American. Salon called the comedy skit “cringe worthy.” A headline in Gawker read “Hillary Clinton Tries to Prove She’s Not Racist with Awkward Joke About ‘Colored People Time.’”
The joke came just days after Bill Clinton clashed with Black Lives Matter protesters who accused him of advancing policies during his administration that hurt African-American communities. A day later, the former president said he “almost” wanted to apologize to the activists.>
