COMMENTARY OF THE DAY

This week, Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams expressed that his party left him and “left working-class people” during an interview with former Fox News host-turned-independent conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson. Adams (D-N.Y.) appeared on a Tuesday episode of “The Tucker Carlson Show,” where he aired his grievances with the Biden administration after he previously spoke out against the disastrous migrant crisis destroying New York City. Adams is trying to save his crooked as.s.
“People often say, ‘Well, you know, you don’t sound like a Democrat and you seem to have left the party,” Adams said during the interview. “NO. The party left me and left working-class people,” he continued. “We have Venezuelan gang leaders that were coming to the city [and] creating crimes,” Adams continued. The NYC mayor also went on to claim that he was told to “be a good Democrat,” by Biden staffers. “That was the basic overall theme. [And] one of his aides told me that this is like a ‘gallstone.’ It’ll pass,”
Adams declared back in September 2023 that the migrant crisis will eventually “destroy New York City,” leading the mayor to become a “target” by his own party. At the height of the migrant crisis in the beginning of 2024, New York City was forced to house 70,000 migrants in taxpayer-funded shelters, as the city’s “Right to Shelter” law mandates the city to provide shelter to anyone who requests it. Following his critical comments regarding the Biden administration, Adams was soon indicted on corruption charges after being thoroughly investigated.
“Despite our pleas, when the federal government did nothing as its broken immigration policies overloaded our shelter system with no relief, I put the people of New York before party and politics,” he stated. “I always knew that if I stood my ground for all of you, that I would be a target – and a target I became.” During the interview, Adams also revealed that he was not allowed to speak with former President Biden following his indictment.
