Councilman Bob Holden (D-Middle Village), seldom at a loss for disagreements with Mayor de Blasio, is accusing the outgoing chief executive of fanning the flames that led to a riot in Middle Village and Maspeth last Friday night that rested in vandalized cars and buildings and has resulted in five arrests.

Holden made his views unmistakably clear Saturday afternoon at a press conference with Mayor-elect Eric Adams at the intersection of 78th Street and Caldwell Avenue, where he said Mayor de Blasio’s remarks following last week’s acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse in murder charges in Wisconsin encouraged the group of a few dozen people who descended on Middle Village on Nov. 19.
