True that in the primaries. But in the general election New Yorkers had a clear choice.
Racist Eric Adams or Guardian Angel Curtis Sliwa.
Adams won by more than 2 to 1. It wasn’t even close.
I want to say good luck, NYC. But you had your chance. You could have had another Giuliani. But no. You chose poorly.
Hey, it can be fun to listen to Curtis Sliwa in the radio, but he's also a nutcase.
I'd rather Adams was not the mayor, but you can't argue that Sliwa had a chance with New York voters. The already voted twice for DeBlasio, and Adams was a lot less extreme with him, and talked enough anti-crime game.
-Sliwa was never even a Republican until 2020
-His last domestic partner was a Democrat, and his current wife is an animal rights activist.
-Sliwa admitted that he faked his own kidnapping by transit cops in 1983. (While Adams was in the Police Academy)
-Sliwa admitted to fake subway rescues.
-He has a track record of saying goofy things.
But he, Mario Cuomo endorsed the Guardian Angels.
