Eric Adams, the Brooklyn borough president and a former police captain, was declared the winner of the Democratic primary for mayor on Tuesday after running as a blue-collar New Yorker and winning substantial support in working-class neighborhoods, particularly in Brooklyn and the Bronx.
What utter nonsense, right? Calling for him to resign doesn’t do a darn thing to undermine any investigation. It’s just hoping he has a conscience, which, of course, he doesn’t. It’s a ridiculous political spin that makes no sense. Almost sounds like Cuomo influenced it.
Guess what? He did. According to reports, his people were circulating it, trying to get female lawmakers to sign aboard it.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is making calls to state lawmakers asking them to say they cannot support calls for his resignation because it may stymie Attorney General Tish James independent investigation, according to several sources.
