Every so often the machine has to eat one of its own. Mayor Adams was standing on business till the wiretaps heard him paying and receiving bribes.

Corruption

He was the greatest thing since sliced bread till he steped off the Democratic Plantation.

Is there any HONEST PEOPLE IN ELECTED OFFICE?????????FN

No

[@ponaliramos9773]

So remember that next time you see another shiny object

[@SamsungJ-xk9pt]

Yes Nancy Pelosi 😅

[@thedoctor155]

He complained about the ill egals. There is no evidence of him personally taking part in corruption yet.

[@ponaliramos9773]

@@thedoctor155 i mean, even if he did take bribes, he was still set up and exposed for it because he was trying to do the right thing and speak out on the immigration. but it was far too late

[@sadiesmith48]

It couldn't have happen to a deserving person!!! He turned his back on the people of New York City! He has hurt civil service employees( retirees) by agreeing to put us in Aetna Medicare Advantage! We retirees are not part of collective bargaining! Eric Adams is wrong for New York City!!! He is a bad player!!!!

Better take his passport before he flees to Turkey with those free miles

[@ThatIsJustCrazyTalk]

We, as a country, MUST STOP all “matching funds” for campaigns. A question: what is the racial makeup of NYC? It looks like the city is 100% black based on the people behind Adams at that press conference.

[@p_e_t_e]

all money needs to be removed from politics. when you can no longer buy a politician, they will work for us.

Did Fox News buy CBS 😂 “The Democrat” the desperation everything is flipping it’s your turn 😂

[@yahnwhos]

Adams should have known you never accept "bribe" money...But you can always accept "lobbyist" money. politicians do it all the time.

[@clarencemoore2924]

lol facing 45 years in jail but he's going to get A $5000 fine and 3 years probation the joke in on us because we are going to pay for all this. he better hope he's not in A diddy video "can't stop won't stop"

[@PlayNiceFolks]

You reading this, ya ever just try to be a decent kinda normal level good person on a regular basis throughout your life? I do, it's really relaxing and actually really easy. I honestly find it weird, deeply confusing, why others choose to not do the bare minimum in terms of right and wrong.

[@Ntsmith4]

The turks? That’s surprising. I would’ve thought it was the Jews bribing him.

Only the ones that go against the narrative. Adams whined a bit too much about the invasion and this is them showing what will happen to others that dare go against the machine.
