The footage was posted by the Twitter account “Comfortably Smug” along with the caption, “There is no escaping the minions, @BilldeBlasio.”

It refers to the notion that while de Blasio’s 6′ 5″ frame might be perfect for theoretically cleaning roofs without getting on a ladder, it would be entirely too “giant” for Washington, D.C.
