Mayor Eric Adams accuses Democrats of abandoning him, working-class people in preview of biting interview with Tucker Carlson
NY Post ^ | 01/21/2025 | Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

Mayor Eric Adams said the Democratic Party has abandoned him – and everyday New Yorkers.

“People often say, ‘Well, you know, you don’t sound like a Democrat and you seem to have left the party,’” Adams told host Tucker Carlson during an interview due to air Tuesday night. “No. The party left me and left working-class people.”

Adams added that he believes the Biden Administration punished him for being vocal about the migrant crisis plaguing the Big Apple – claiming the White House response to his gripes about being a sanctuary city was: “be a good Democrat, Eric.”

According to a preview of the interview, the mayor also said New York did not welcome the flood of migrants into the five boroughs, noting that, “We have Venezuelan gang leaders that were coming to the city creating crimes.”

I’d be a little wary of accepting Adams to the Trump team. His conversion from liberal to moderate came after he was indicted. And I’m not sure how real vs. trumped up the indictment is.

“I’d be a little wary of accepting Adams to the Trump team. His conversion from liberal to moderate came after he was indicted. And I’m not sure how real vs. trumped up the indictment is.”

But his indictment only came AFTER he publicly complained about the tons of Illegals dropped into his city by Biden.

To put it another way, he was the ONLY big city mayor who sided with MAGA on Open Borders, regardless of his motivations.

He may be a retard, but imagine if he came over more to our side.

Sometimes, even a retard can be useful.

The guy is the crooked, retarded mayor of a sh!t-hole city that is defined by its collective mental retardation. He’s absolutely useless to me and has absolutely no power to advance a single useful element of the Trump agenda.

You might as well tell me that the heir of Idi Amin has come out and publicly supported President Trump.
