Appearing on CNN’s Monday broadcast of “New Day,” New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said that Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is “doing the bidding of …  ISIS.”

“What he’s saying is corrosive to our democratic values,” de Blasio told co-host Alisyn Camerota. “It’s dangerous.”

“Let’s not mince words about it. He is clearly trying to divide,” he added. “That doesn’t make us stronger. That doesn’t make us cohesive.”

De Blasio closed by noting that “it’s time to say that what Donald Trump is doing — in one way or another — is doing the bidding of our enemies.”

“Our enemies, in particular ISIS, wants to see the American people divided, for example against the Muslim community. That’s the ISIS game plan, and what Trump is saying is falling right into that game plan.”
