ABOVE: NYC Councilman, who reps Chelsea, was near the explosion last night. He spoke with CNN about the event.
Governor Andrew Cuomo has called the incident terrorism, which I think clarifies the confusion caused by Mayor de Blasio, who seemed to be saying there was not yet any link to international terrorism at his presser last night. Both de Blasio and the FBI have so far declined to refer to what happened as terrorism, per se. I would guess neither de Blasio nor the FBI will be re-elected.
