Bill de Blasio: 1994 crime bill was a foundation of 'mass incarceration'

Democratic presidential hopeful Bill de Blasio on Sunday said a 1994 crime bill that 2020 rival Joseph R. Biden helped write was “one of the foundations” of “mass incarceration” in the country, describing it as a “huge mistake.”
“Look, the vice president and anyone else has to be accountable for every vote they take and what’s on their record, and I think that was a huge mistake,” Mr. de Blasio, the mayor of New York City, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
