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

The jury is still out but he’s worse than DeBlasio because Adams is a racist who blames race on all his problems

NYC residents will have to go through a whole lot more pain before they vote someone who’ll turn that cesspool around. And even then, it might never happen.

He should do away with NYC laws that prevent black people from starting newspapers.

He isn’t DeBlasio lite. He’s just getting started.

A guy who got where he did as much for his skin color as his competence.

When things start to tank for him and the people/businesses don’t flock back to NYC, the ‘race card’ will be thrown down repeatedly and with enthusiasm.

anyone who had faith in that Affirmative Action goon should have their head examined. But, NY, and maybe the rest of us get what we deserve for allowing our country to be overrun by the Cultural Marxists.

Off topic but relevant. NYC is dead. Only 33% of workers have returned to office 2 years later. Businesses are getting the hint. There are other locations. Florida. Texas. Georgia. But NYC is densely populated with people taking subways for commute to their jobs in skyscrapers. NYC will eventually just morph into the next Detroit or Baltimore. Times have changed.
