In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Hillary Clinton blamed New York City mayor Bill de Blasio for a controversial sketch made over the weekend, in which the latter said he was running on "C.P. time," what is often a "Colored People Time." "Well, look, it was Mayor de Blasio's skit," she said in an interview. "He has addressed it, and I will really defer to him because it is something that he's already talked about." The mayor explained that the phrase in this context was meant to be satirical and a reference to "cautious politician time."
