Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called on Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams to resign as he faces a slew of corruption allegations.
Investigations and accusations of corruption have plagued Adams since November 2023, when the FBI raided the homes of two of his associates. Numerous close associates have since been investigated, raided, and arrested, some as recently as this month, presenting a chaotic image of his administration. In a statement to the New York Times on Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez became the most prominent Democrat to openly call on Adams to resign.

I am not sure the replacement will be an upgrade.
Who becomes acting mayor in New York City when a mayor leaves office?
According to the New York City charter, if a mayor is suspended by the governor, unable to perform their duties, absent from the city or resigns, the city’s public advocate would become the acting mayor and serve in a temporary capacity.
If the public advocate is unable to serve, the city’s comptroller would assume the position of acting mayor.
Who is New York City’s public advocate?
New York City’s current public advocate is Jumaane Williams. According to the city charter, he would assume the position of acting mayor, if Eric Adams were to step aside or be suspended from office by the governor.
Williams, a former city councilman, has served as the city’s public advocate since winning a special election in 2019.
He ran for New York governor in 2022 losing to Kathy Hochul.

Of course it won’t be.
This is like Manna from heaven for DJT. Adam’s will claim it is political retribution from Biden’s DOJ because of his stance on the migrant crisis in NYC. I see a black sympathy vote for Trump.
She’ll end up being the governor of NY.
Damn, I wish the little PR PRincess would give it a rest. She’s got her big mouth going all the time. Stupid Squawd Leader.
I call on ‘aoc’ to resign. See how easy that is.
I think Adams is probably as good as you’re going to get in NYC.
If AOCtard is against him, then I’m rooting for him. (can’t believe I’m for a corrupt democrat)
The “Eating Your Own” phase of maintaining a network of deceit is exposing itself. It will then exponentially begin consuming all in its ranks. Fear and bad morale sets in, conditions Alinsky says to avoid.
Me too!
So, admittedly Adams is a Democrat. With that pedigree, no telling what he is guilt of. His tenure as mayor has been uninspiring. However.
Given that the Garland DOJ is after him, and AOC has thrown him under the bus, what are the odds that this is a put up job?
She was broke according to her when she got elected. Life is good when you can become a millionaire in 3-4 short years making only 150K-175K a year and paying to live in DC and NYC.
He’s an idiot.
Adams should say I will if you do.
The question now is WHY are they throwing him under the bus?
Who have they got to replace him with that’s far, far worse?
So roars the leftist bartender with mouth bigger than brain. Notice how she’s always so quick to insert her big mouth into hot topics receiving PR attention. NYC where morons elect the same. They deserve her and her fellow Rats of incompetent corruptions.
They are all idiots.
She launders her bribes through her boyfriend.
...and her onlyfans page.
We really, really need to know why Deep State is doing this....
