The Republican National Convention included a short video featuring residents of New York City public housing, harshly criticizing Mayor Bill de Blasio and praising Trump. But it was not all that it seemed.

"I would really hate to get started on this mayor," said one of them, Carmen Quiñones, the president of the tenant association at the Douglass Houses on the Upper West Side.

"Bill de Blasio and the way he has dealt with public housing residents is disgraceful," said Claudia Perez, the tenant association president at Washington Houses in East Harlem.

The animosity some public housing residents feel towards de Blasio is well known. He has proposed several controversial strategies to raise the billions of dollars needed to make building repairs, and it was during his watch that scandals involving lead paint and mold prompted the federal government to appoint a monitor to oversee the authority.

But some of the statements in the video are misleading.
