Mayor Eric Adams unloaded Tuesday in an epic rant in which he threatened to stop fielding “off-topic” questions at his press conferences — and blasted the Big Apple’s news organizations over what he said was their lack of racial diversity.
The scolding, which came before an unrelated press conference on summer youth employment efforts, appeared to be sparked by coverage of his failed bid to get state lawmakers to budge on his anti-crime agenda — although the mayor failed to convey how race factored into that.
One day after meeting with Albany lawmakers in what he all but admitted was a failed attempt to roll back recent criminal-justice reforms, Adams claimed that accounts of his trip, none of which touched on race, were unfairly negative.
“If you want to acknowledge or not, I have been doing a darn good job and we just can’t live in this alternate reality,” a clearly angered Adams said.
Adams also warned that if the coverage of him doesn’t improve, “I’m just going to come in and do my announcements and bounce.”

Dee-- I've come to observe that, when it comes to Progressives, simply saying it doesn't necessarily mean that they actually believe it. With COVID receding, the Left has started losing precious political leverage... Details of the Durham report on Hillary and her associates have started squeaking through the squelch filters of mainstream media... bad as they already were, Biden's favorability numbers just took yet another hit according to a report on Black voters... with each passing week, the odds of Democrats losing Congress are growing. Add to all of this the fact that Biden's BBB initiative appears to have died on the vine. The devil can be found in all of these details.
What we're hearing from NY's Mayor should be taken with a grain of salt. Like fellow miscreants Schumer, Pelosi, Lightfoot and Abrams, Eric Adams' remarks show that he too is getting nervous because the facts are failing him. Nervous politicians lie-- a lot-- even more than usual. They counter-attack the opposition with a cocktail of virtue signaling and word-smithing. Is it working? Only time will tell. But I don't believe for one second that Adams really believes the crap that he's pedaling.
UPDATE: Last night, Black Fox News Contributor Leo Terrell basically said what I wrote (above). “(Eric Adams is) a failure... He talks a good game, but he has done nothing...” When they are failing, they play the race card...”
