Democrats blocked Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman from speaking during the Bronx Dominican Day parade on Sunday — with one state pol admitting she snubbed him over ties to President Trump. Blakeman wasn’t given the chance to address the crowd during part of the celebration on the Grand Concourse that involved comments from Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams. The Republican, who is currently serving as the elected Nassau County executive, was told by lefty Assemblywoman Amanda Septimo he couldn’t speak even though some in the crowd called out to “let him speak.” “This is exactly what life under socialism is like,” Blakeman said in a statement to The Post. “Where free speech is prohibited, and only one party gets to communicate with the public,” added Blakeman, who said he was “invited by leaders of the Dominican community to speak.” “It is clear that Democrat socialists don’t want the truth to be told that their policies will make people more miserable than they already are,” the candidate added.
