De Blasio refuses to 'dignify' question about resigning

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio told a reporter he would not “dignify” a question about the growing number of calls for his resignation.

De Blasio was asked to respond to those calling for his resignation over what they see as a failure of leadership during the coronavirus pandemic and throughout the protests and riots that have taken place in the city in response to the death of George Floyd. The mayor said calls for his resignation were a distraction.
