Mayor de Blasio won’t be marching in the Bronx Columbus Day Parade Sunday because he hasn’t been invited amid the controversy over what to do with statues of Christopher Columbus on city property.

“Why would I have a mayor march who acts like Pontius Pilate. He washes his hands and puts up an 18-member committee to look at each statute,” said Tony Signorile, who runs the parade held in Morris Park.
“At this point, I think he is a fake Italian.”
The mayor last went to the Bronx parade in 2015. He also attended in 2012 and 2013 when he was public advocate.
