NYC Mayor Defends Picking Brother for NYPD Job...Because of 'White Supremacy' Threat

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday defended his decision to name his brother, former NYPD police officer Bernard Adams, as a deputy NYPD commissioner.

Though he acknowledged a city ethics panel will “make the determination” on whether there’s a conflict of interest over bringing on his brother for the job, Adams argued it’s necessary given the threat he faces from “white supremacy.”

“Let me be clear on this: My brother is qualified for the position. Number one, he will be in charge of my security, which is extremely important to me at a time when we see an increase in white supremacy and hate crimes,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”

“I have to take my security in a very serious way,” the mayor added.

During a press conference on Sunday, Adams went into more detail about why he chose his brother.

“Protection is personal. You have an increase of anarchists in this city, country. We have a serious problem with white supremacy. And when you talk about this type of security that I want, it’s extremely unique. I don’t want to be away from my public,” he said.

SMDH! "We have a serious problem with white supremacy." Meet the new boss. Worse than the old boss? Nice going yorkies. Wait until the next elections when non citizens will determine your political make up in the local races. As for the 'mare'? He better be careful. I hear WS's are massing troops at the border/city limits. Fidiot!

Wow.

Every white employee of the City of New York with half a brain has just concluded that they are viewed as a security risk by Mayor Adams.

Happy New Year, indeed.

Suck it NYC. More than 70% of the people voted for him, and 85% voted for the insane DA.

The stink from NYC is getting so strong that even here in Colorado it outstinks the stink from California.

Liberalism. What you get when you don’t flush.

If this ‘white supremacy test keeps going, then in the coming years, all whites living in those ares will either move out or become chattel slaves of the ‘majority’ blacks.

Of course the voting was fair and honest as Dems could make it and still win ...

I was going to say….

I’ve never been to the big Apple but I watch much news/read and my wife did some buying there in a previous job. First time I’ve heard white supremacy associated with NYC—-in my memory.

Surely neither Brandon nor the VP, who have been banging the White Supremacy drum for years, can be heard to contradict Mayor Adams on this point.

Quite the contrary. They will shamelessly support him no matter how far he goes with such claims.

So now you have 2 black targets?

MAYOR AND BROTHER MAYOR.

Yeah, keep buying that white supremacy shtick. Pretty soon you’ll be groveling non stop just to pretend how you really aren’t a racist. Good grief, the snowflake self-loathing left makes me sick.

The raving about white supremacy is totally unsupported by any facts. Every time it’s brought up they should be challenged to show proof. Why do they always get a pass?

So there aren't any other black men who could do the job? Never mind the fact that the whole white supremacy excuse is completely racist.

White Supremacy?? Really?? Face it. You lost a lot of the Black Vote to Trump. So you have to play the race card, every day from now until the 2022 elections.

Remember that whites vote, too. You won because you are black. Qualified...to carry out the parties orders. You're probably not a bad person. The problem is....party comes first.
