Eric Adams is Bill DeBlasio lite

Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn?

Short answer? Never.

Well, that didn't take long. It's said that a second marriage is the triumph of hope over reality. In New York City we see that be proven once again.

There was never any doubt that a democrat would win the NYC mayoral race but there was this thin reed of hope of that Eric Adams would be different. Adams has taken that spent cigarette, tossed it to the pavement and ground it out with the sole of his shoe.

He is your stereotypical liberal ass democrat.

The first major sign was his assignment of blame to white reporters for his problems:

Mayor Eric Adams unloaded Tuesday in an epic rant in which he threatened to stop fielding “off-topic” questions at his press conferences — and blasted the Big Apple’s news organizations over what he said was their lack of racial diversity.

The scolding, which came before an unrelated press conference on summer youth employment efforts, appeared to be sparked by coverage of his failed bid to get state lawmakers to budge on his anti-crime agenda — although the mayor failed to convey how race factored into that.

One day after meeting with Albany lawmakers in what he all but admitted was a failed attempt to roll back recent criminal-justice reforms, Adams claimed that accounts of his trip, none of which touched on race, were unfairly negative.

“If you want to acknowledge or not, I have been doing a darn good job and we just can’t live in this alternate reality,” a clearly angered Adams said.

Adams also warned that if the coverage of him doesn’t improve, “I’m just going to come in and do my announcements and bounce.”

"Off topic" means "I don't want to talk about it." Adams was really quick to play the race card
“How many blacks are on editorial boards? How many blacks determine how these stories are being written?”
Never mind that it's the minorities who are suffering the most in NYC.

He went and proved himself to be DeBlasio lite. He plans to defund the police a bit:

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced this week that the city’s police may receive less or the same amount of funding in the city’s 2022 budget.

“The budget is basically going to be flat,” Adams said about the police budget before acknowledging it may decrease. “There may be a slight decrease in the next few months, but it’s basically going to remain flat,” Adams claimed about the $107 billion budget.

Then he went to Disneyland

Bingo. He allowed another box to be checked. That is all that matters to NYC citizens. They have been that way (racist, etc) for decades. It is virtue signaling to say : “Well, I voted for a black man. Aren’t I enlightened?”

…”but there was this thin reed of hope of that Eric Adams would be different. “

Yeah on account of his guy hanging out in front of the bodega shtick. The truth may be that this clown is an affirmative action hire who only ever had to show up and be black. I wanted to believe he was a real neighborhood guy but I doubted it. So far I’m not wrong. Possibly somewhere along the way he may realize that there will be a legacy, good bad or indifferent, and he’ll wake up… but, again, I doubt it.

There’s a reason why Deep State crammed RCV down NYC voters’ throats.

They are indeed educable and Deep State knows it.

Note to Gothamites: Want your city back? Repeal RCV and go back to dumb voting machines.

If democrats ran truthfully no one would vote for them. So they lie. They're going to do the same thing for midterms.

Translation: Any NYC crime story that makes Adams looks bad is racist.
