Even Mayor Bloomberg has had it with pervy Vito Lopez.
Commenting for the first time about the sordid sex-harassment revelations surrounding his one-time ally, Bloomberg suggested the just-resigned Brooklyn assemblyman retire from politics.
“I do not think he is the kind of person we want in the City Council based on what’s reported about his actions,” Bloomberg said, referring to Lopez’s bid to run for a Brooklyn seat.
When he was chairman of the Assembly’s powerful Housing Committee and ran the Brooklyn Democratic Party, Lopez (right) was a favorite at City Hall.
The Post disclosed in January 2009 that former Deputy Mayor Kevin Sheekey met with Lopez nine times over 18 months.
When Bloomberg needed help in 2008 persuading Brooklyn members of the City Council to allow him to extend term limits to run for a third term, he summoned Lopez for help.
And when Bloomberg won a third term in 2009, one of the first political figures he invited to dinner was Lopez, even though Lopez had publicly endorsed Bloomberg’s rival, Democrat Bill Thompson.
The Bloomberg-Lopez relationship chilled considerably after a report the Department of Investigation released a blistering report in 2011 about shady practices at a Ridgewood Bushwick social-services agency, which Lopez founded and where his girlfriend and campaign treasurer held executive positions that earned them more than $1 million combined one year.
