De Blasio's Deaf Interpreter Steals Spotlight

VIDEO - Jonathan Lamberton, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's sign language interpreter, is getting a blizzard of attention for his highly animated ways that were on full display during recent weather briefings.



NEW YORK CITY - As New York Mayor Bill de Blasio gave a speech warning New Yorkers of the impending megastorm, that is about to drop 3 feet of snow on the city, he was totally upstaged by a theatrical sign-language interpreter who was standing next to him and translating de Blasio's warnings into American Sign Language (ASL).



You won't be able to take your eyes off this guy once you hit "play."

But, unlike the fake interpreter that crashed the Mandela’s memorial, this guy is for real. His name is Jonathan Lamberton and he’s a Certified Deaf Interpreter. He's just enthusiastic. Source
