New York Post ^ | July 14, 2021 | Julia Marsh and Bruce Golding

Democratic mayoral candidate Eric Adams appeared in public with Gov. Cuomo on Wednesday and addressed everything from the city’s surging shootings to the governor’s sexual harassment scandal.

Ahead of a meeting with community leaders in Brooklyn to discuss the Big Apple’s epidemic of gun violence, Adams — who last week narrowly won the Democratic primary — decried the city’s increasing lawlessness and said officials needed to address recent soft-on-crime initiatives

Adams, a former NYPD captain, also warned that the Big Apple was turning into a free-for-all and said the decline needed to be nipped in the bud.

If he’s in league with Cuomo, New York is finished.

I vote for Sliwa. He’s an outsider.

Adams wants to “nip it in the bud”?
It’s a little late for that, the “bud” has blossomed.

The decline needed to be nipped in the bud?!

Thanks to 8 years of de Blasio, that bud of rot & decay has already sprouted and is rooted deeply in NYC.  Not even another Rudy could save the Big Apple now.

Certainly, Adams & Cuomo won't.

He’ll be about as successful as Barney Fife too.

So, he thinks that posing next to Fredo’s brother, the murderer of thousands of elderly so rich New Yorkers no longer have to pay for their support, is gonna help him? Wow. The logic behind that has to be as convoluted as any explanation about CRT not being about endorsing racism.

LMAO! The former member of one blacks in law enforcement is more concerned with money matters , like Bitcoin. Nothing will change in the now People’s Democratic Socialist City of Nuevo York! I reside on Long Island and have finally decided to throw in the towel, because even the GOP here sucks!

It doesn’t matter WHAT his personal history is, if he’s a Democrat, then he will do what his party leadership tells him to.

The Democrats will not crack down on black crime.
