MANHATTAN -- The Rev. Al Sharpton offered an impassioned defense Saturday of his former aide whose prominent role at City Hall has come under intense scrutiny, claiming that the criticism has been fueled by a movement to curb his own influence with Mayor Bill de Blasio.
The civil rights leader and fierce NYPD critic said he warned his then-spokeswoman Rachel Noerdlinger in January when she accepted a position to be chief of staff to powerful first lady Chirlane McCrary.
"I said to her then: 'Don't think now that they aren't going to put a target on your back,'" said Sharpton at his weekly rally at the National Action Network in Harlem. "They'll dig to find something. If not, they'll make it up. They've been doing it to me for 30 years."
Police unions and some newspaper columnists have called for Noerdlinger's dismissal after a series of damaging revelations, including that she did not disclose during her background check that her live-in boyfriend Hassaun McFarlan was a convicted killer who taunted police on Facebook.
De Blasio has steadfastly supportedNoerdlinger, who has helped shape his administration's response to the chokehold death of Eric Garner in NYPD custody.
Sharpton has been a longtime ally of de Blasio and helped set the stage for his election by defying conventional wisdom and declining to endorse the mayoral race's one black candidate, William Thompson.
De Blasio, who is white, has a strong base of support in the city's African-American community, in part due to the popularity of his wife, who is black. He frequently consults with Sharpton and gave him equal footing with Police Commissioner William Bratton at a City Hall forum convenedafter Garner's death. That infuriated the police unions,one of which took out a full page ad in The New York Times to suggest that de Blasio's policies and relationship with Sharpton were making the city less safe.
Sharpton has not been shy to boast about his access to de Blasio, scoffing Saturday at the suggestion that he needed to "put" Noerdlinger in City Hall to have a channel to the mayor.

Al Sharpton defends de Blasio aide under fire
With calls for her resignation intensifying, embattled City Hall aide Rachel Noerdlinger received a boost Saturday from her old boss.
The Rev. Al Sharpton came to the defense of his former mouthpiece, slamming reporters while suggesting Noerdlinger was the victim of a witchhunt.
First Lady Chirlane McCrays chief of staff has been hit by a series of damning revelations some stemming from her relationship with a cop-hating ex-con.
If shes judged by her boyfriend, then lets go to City Hall and get the name and background of everybodys boyfriend and girlfriend, Sharpton thundered at a press conference at the National Action Networks Harlem headquarters.
If theyve been around folks that were busted, lets get the name of everybody at City Hall. See whos been around anybody thats been busted, including Room 9 where the reporters are.
The controversy erupted three weeks ago when it was revealed that Noerdlinger was living with Hassaun McFarlan, who has a manslaughter conviction on his record. McFarlan, then 15, shot an 18-year-old man to death during an argument over a jacket in 1993. McFarlan has also been convicted of drug trafficking.
In the latest development, it emerged on Friday that Noerdlinger was riding shotgun with McFarlan in 2011 when he was busted for driving the wrong way in a car that reeked of pot. New Jersey cops arrested McFarlan for marijuana possession after he tossed two bags of marijuana on the drivers seat. Noerdlinger received a violation for allowing her boyfriend to drive her car without a license.
A teenage boy, possibly Noerdlingers son, was in the back seat at the time of the incident.
Mayor de Blasio has stood by Noerdlinger, who makes $170,000 a year and a Department of Investigation probe found no evidence that the highly paid aide intended to deceive City Hall.
At a Manhattan campaign rally Saturday, Gov. Cuomo wouldnt say whether Noerdlinger should get the boot.
