1. Uh......

"I thank god I'm the mayor right now...."

WTF Eric Adams?

A man died and how is this supposed to make his family feel better?

Am I missing something here?

2. lol he's just so bad

3. Oh, mannnn. 😑

[Raven]

4. It's all about him. It's a sickness. n/t

[Sanity Claws]

5. Another narcissist in power

A man lost his life and left family behind. The family has to make sense of what happened. Other New Yorkers are concerned about their safety. Telling the public that you thank god that you are mayor does not help anyone at all.

6. He defeated two female candidates who would have made excellent mayors.

The voters in NYC have an aversion to electing quality mayors lately.

7. Overly impressed with himself, maybe. But, he's right about needing to do something.

8. Reminds me of Rudy Giuliani

hunkering with NYP Chief Bernard Kerik, exclaiming on 9/11, “Thank God George Bush is President!”

9. So good right up to that last sentence... so close.

[gldstwmn]

10. Ugh. I think he's going to be a one termer.

[Bucky]

12. Not if he knows how to play the security card

We're entering an age of heightened lawlessness. That law-and-order stance will allow many voters to look past mediocre management skills.

I'm in Texas, so I so-far lack the data to form an opinion on Eric Adams. NYC's a complicated town and running it requires a complex and sometime contradictory skillset.

13. +1.

[BlackSkimmer]

11. Ugh.

This guy...
