Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton jokingly chastised New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio late Saturday about the city’s subway station turnstiles after she momentarily got locked out of one.
{mosads}”There are a lot of things I could ask you of international, national, state and city importance, but will you just fix these metro card slots in the subway?” Clinton asked de Blasio during a skit at the New York City press corps’ annual Inner Circle dinner.
“It took me like five swipes. The little terminal thing kept saying ‘please swipe again.’ I mean, you’ve got to fix that.”
A video of Clinton struggling to enter a subway turnstile went viral last week when she repeatedly had to swipe the card to gain entry.
