New York Mayoral candidate Eric Adams called himself the 'Biden of Brooklyn' at White House Monday after meeting with President Joe Biden about gun crimes – and says the topic of whether Biden wants more police on the beat 'didn't come up.'
Adams, the Brooklyn Borough president who is heavily favored in the mayor's race after his messy primary win, joined mayors, law enforcement and security officials as Biden seeks to get a handle on a surge in gun violence nationwide.
'You know they call me the Biden of Brooklyn,' Adams said outside the White House following his meeting with the president, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and other local leaders.
'You can just tell when someone is not trying to rush you through the meeting,' he said. He called Biden a 'plain talk person' and said it was 'a pleasure having him as the president.
With Democrats showing signs of political damage for the defend-the-police movement – something Biden has long said he does not support – Adams called for moving cops to the streets from clerical work and having more of them walk the beat solo rather than in larger groups.
But when asked by DailyMail.com whether Biden himself urged local leaders to get more cops on the street, Adams responded: 'That conversation didn't come up in our discussion and I think he could better answer that question.'
Nevertheless, the guest list at Monday's meeting underlined distance the White House wants to put between Biden and the defund movement.

That’s a lie. Biden was all in on defunding the police during the Dem primary.
He is a full blown lunatic.

What the HECK does dyslexia have to do with murder? Does a dyslexic shooter point the barrel at his own head? Does he say "Fire-Aim-Ready-Load"?
Either I have dyslexia or the editor misspelled DEFUND - I see ‘defend the police’ in this article

Biden of Brooklyn
You sure you want to go there? Are you video feeling up little girls? Is your son a crack head who purchases underage Chinese hookers? Are you best friends with a KKK Exalted Cyclops? Did you sexually assault an aide?
There is not a single example of a black democrat run anything that works.
I don’t care who calls me racist.
