Mayor Eric Adams had no idea how rotten the Big Apple was at its core before taking office — telling The Post he was “shocked” to learn just “how bad this place is.”
During an exclusive interview conducted as Adams rode the subways overnight for more than three hours last week, the former NYPD transit cop said he was astounded by the botched “deployment of resources” that has New Yorkers on edge amid a nearly 40 percent surge in major crimes this year.
“Let me tell you something: When I started looking into this, I was shocked at how bad this place is,” he said of the city.

All talk. No action.
“I had no idea there was graft and corruption and incompetence going on here. I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you!”
Well...it's worse now.
Beatin’ crackerz
This guy has been even worse than his predecessor.
The only thing that concerns that jackass is his reflection.
That's the one Bite Me uses.
Another New York failure. Surprise, surprise.
You would think that a politician who wanted to take on the job of the Mayor of one of the largest and busiest cities in the world would have known about its problems. If he didn’t know then he should not have run for office and promised to get NYC back on track. What was he talking about fixing if he didn’t know the problems going in? This excuse by Adams seems like a way to blame diBlasio - sort of how Biden blames everything on Pres. Trump or the new bad guy Putin.
The problem for Dems is that fixing the problems means going against their campaign promises and doing what the Republicans said they would do if elected. Dems are always in a trick bag of their own making
He was a cop in NYC for over 20 years. He’s either lying or stupid or both.
What Eric—no gala events or parties with celebs to attend so ya went slummin’?
Another clueless democrat. They work hard being stupid.
Curtis Sliwa sure knew “how bad this place is,” but the voters apparently like it that way; so they elected this perfumed prince.
He read it in the morning paper
