Dems FINALLY wake up: NYC Mayor Eric Adams says Lori Lightfoot's loss in Chicago is 'a warning sign for the country' after her soft on crime policies saw her fail to win a second term
2023-03-07
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • New York City Mayor Eric Adams says Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's reelection loss is a warning sign for the entire country, not just Democratic mayors

  • Adams stated that his attendance at crime scenes and interactions with New Yorkers made him realize that public safety had to be a priority in American cities

  • Adams emphasized that his stance on crime was a result of listening to the everyday public who were concerned about their safety

#9  Other than some bigoted remarks about his fellow White officers at some point, a case was made he was a political agent in the department. Another made the case he was a diversity hire instead of qualified.

After his clownish presser about New York City having a brand, and watch the whole yuck it up fest, I'd make the case he is both.

A Lightfoot, but straight and had a badge.

#8  Everyone has a hierarchy of allegiances. Adam’s alliance to the NYPD has always been subordinated under all the leftist identities that make his law enforcement background as irrelevant as Joe Scarborough’s “small government conservatism.” Adams is a hack whose chief charm is that he isn’t as bad as the last guy.

#7  Eric Adams was New York City’s police candidate, having retired as a captain after 20 years on the force. He deliberately chose bad policies, in full knowledge of the results.

#1  So re-election is more important than the safety of their fellow citizens.
