Republican mayoral nominee Joe Lhota on Monday slammed novice TV host Alec Baldwin as “anti-woman” after the actor called Lhota’s spokeswoman a “trash bag” on Twitter.

“Quite honestly, it should never surprise any New Yorker the antiwoman . . . misogynist statements of Alec Baldwin,” Lhota told The Post.
On the debut of his MSNBC show, “Up Late with Alec Baldwin,” Friday — featuring Democratic mayoral nominee Bill de Blasio — Baldwin criticized stop-and-frisk as a lazy enforcement strategy.
After de Blasio appeared to agree with Baldwin, Team Lhota spent the weekend hammering de Blasio for calling cops “lazy.”
De Blasio called the attack a “cheap” distortion of the truth.
Baldwin said Monday, “Lhota’s campaign should stop running against de Blasio’s supporters and start running against de Blasio.”
