Hillary Clinton’s response to a racially charged comedy sketch with Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York on Saturday night was simple: It’s all his fault. “Well, look, it was Mayor de Blasio’s skit,” Mrs. Clinton told Cosmopolitan magazine. “He has addressed it, and I will really defer to him because it is something that he’s already talked about.” Mr. de Blasio’s office said he was poking fun only at himself at the satirical Inner Circle dinner in Manhattan, when he joked with Mrs. Clinton at the annual black-tie event that he had been late to endorse her candidacy because he was “running on C.P. time.” a reference to the stereotypical “Colored People Time.” The line drew some cringes from the audience.
