Finger-pointing and frustration over migrant crisis leads to a total breakdown between White House and NYC mayor
CNN ^ | 9/1/23 (Last Year) | By Edward-Isaac Dovere and Priscilla Alvarez

The relationship between President Joe Biden’s White House and Eric Adams began breaking down in private months earlier than previously known – and long before the New York mayor started publicly blasting the president over the migrant crisis in his city.

“There’s no leadership here,” Adams told a group of Biden aides last October in the chief of staff’s office, demanding the president do more to help his city handle a massive influx of migrants.

The issue is one of the most sensitive issues for the White House, and for Biden’s reelection campaign. Intergovernmental affairs director Julie Chávez Rodríguez, chief of staff Ron Klain and Homeland Security Adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall bristled. They were doing everything they could at the White House to lead without Congress pitching in, they said. Biden had done more than any previous president and much of what Adams was asking for would either require congressional action or would likely immediately be challenged in court.

It was a moment, which is being reported now for the first time, that prefaced a total breakdown of the relationship between the White House and the mayor’s office. CNN’s conversations with multiple sources revealed the political partnership has devolved into finger-pointing and frustration between Adams, the president, their aides and advocates who complain that the leaders have both been blundering through a response to a crisis that more than one told CNN feels like “playing hot potato with people.”

A year later, Adams has long moved past private bashing of Biden, even headlining a rally on Thursday in Manhattan that slammed the administration’s response arrival of migrants...

Gee, it only took a year for a "total breakdown" to turn into an indictment? About contributions from many years ago?

What we have here is a ‘failure to communicate’ - time for Cool Hand Adams to get his mind right.

Why don’t they just reduce the salaries, benefits, and pensions of city employees to help pay for the innocent migrants?

Government greed at its finest.

The Democrat party doesn’t really care about or value anybody or anything. All they care about is power, they will do or become whatever is momentarily expedient in order to take power; and they prove that every day.

His grift was $100K

For a prominent politician that’s chicken feed. I mean, he’s obviously guilty, but he is by no means alone.

Breakdown gone indictment. They aren’t even good at it anymore. They got spoiled beating up Trump for eight seasons with lawfare. He couldn’t fight back.

Take a few million bribe and you go to jail for thinking small. Take a $40 million bribe and they give you honorary degrees and cocktail parties in your honor.

Biden will need to suffer consequences for his lawlessness.

Using lawfare against one of their own.

Danton was never revolutionary enough for Robespierre. (Ditto Trotsky for Stalin.)

Adams [is] demanding the president do more to help his city handle a massive influx of migrants.

Here's an idea: Tell Biden to seal the border closed and stop bypassing immigration officials by flying them at taxpayer expense to different entry points so they can vote in the upcoming elections. Also,what happened to Adams' "welcome immigrants" speeches he gave in the past? Maybe he should talk to Joe about telling a judge he's "a nice old feeble man who shouldn't be prosecuted"...worked for Joe.
