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.

Mostly, he is a corrupt black to the bone radical who is unfit to call himself American.

He is in fact a Domestic Enemy others have sworn to protect us from

His black life certainly doesn’t matter

Just wait until angry white youth start running criminal gangs once they are shut out of society. They thought they had a crime problem before.

May have to end up nuking our own cities, but then there may not be much left worth preserving with many parts in ruins and rubble.

My theory about the democratic party is that once someone that belongs to that party is elected, that person starts getting orders from the top, probably from Pelosi, that they have to “push the agenda” otherwise they will get destroyed or defunded and Adams was probably ordered to push the “woke” agenda, push the “white supremacy” hoax, and do everything he can to basically screw the people over in favor of the democrats getting more power. It astounds me why people remain in that party. These are adults, they are not stupid, they damn well know the KKK and neo-Nazis aren’t around every corner looking to attack them, it’s ludicrous, but they push the hoax anyway so they can gain power.

Interesting inversion: rather than being in charge of security because he’s qualified, he’s qualified because he’ll be in charge of security.

a lot of people were hoping that he would reimpose tough measures against criminals, and restore order to the city. Unfortunately, it looks like he’s just another buffoon who is there just to enrich himself and his family. He will sign off on the Soros-funded DA’s plan to decriminalize crime. NYC will just get worse, and more chaotic.

White Supremacy my Obama.

Adams stands a much greater chance of being off by a black guy than a white guy.

Yup, argues against using neutron bombs! Go for the 5+megs with impact detonations. Use the NE AMTRAK corridor for targeting.

“He’s black, he’s a New Yorker, he is corrupt.”

This is what I was afraid of, babble anything to get elected, and once in, become worse than the one they (New Yorkers) got rid of. This guy is trouble from the word go.

I get it now. He is protecting us all against racism.

If every one of his aides and appointees is black, then his all black administration is protected against being racist./S
