New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on corruption charges centered around favors and bribes paid by the government of Turkey.
As soon as this corruption was revealed, Adams was suspect in his behavior and reactions to this scandal that he has engaged in, and if he had any decency, which he does not possess, he would have resigned.
Two earlier NYC Mayors–Jimmy Walker in 1932 and William O’Dwyer in 1950–resigned in similar scandals.
But instead, Adams has consorted with President Donald Trump and his “Border Czar” Thomas Homan to assist in pursuit of immigrants to deport, not just those who have committed crimes, but instead, giving widespread latitude to pursue many migrants who have committed no crime other than entering the country as an escape from bloodshed, persecution, and desire for a new life start!
NY Governor Kathy Hochul should move ahead, under her authority, to remove Adams from office, as he is not serving the public interest, and his corruption and collaboration with Trump undermines New York City and its 8.3 million people, with its many problems that are being ignored just to protect Adams from accountability.
