Summary
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is considering removing NYC Mayor Eric Adams after four top deputies resigned amid controversy over his corruption case.
The Justice Department dropped Adams’ case, allegedly to secure his cooperation with Trump’s immigration crackdown, sparking backlash.
Seven federal prosecutors quit in protest, and Democratic leaders, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, called for Adams’ resignation.
Adams, who denies wrongdoing, faces a tough reelection. Hochul stressed that removing a mayor is unprecedented but said the situation “cannot be ignored.”
Turns out that “slams”, “claps back”, and “weighs” all mean the same thing in headlines; “does nothing”.
Please, so the resignations weren’t in vain.
We are in unprecedented times. I hope the governor finds the political will to do it.
He hasn’t been found guilty yet. He sure as heck looks guilty but there is not yet a judgement saying so. I agree the governor needs to be careful removing a mayor because it looks bad. Is that really a precedent we want.
That assumes, of course that there’s no interference from a corrupt official to get the charges dropped. That interference and Those court members resigning are what makes this different
He should have been removed week one.
What the fuck are you waiting for?Christmas?
and pam bondi is pressuring NY to drop charges against him.
Then someone needs to remove her right after that. Shes as corrupt and a POS as the rest of them
