Calls for Gov. Kathy Hochul to remove New York City Mayor Eric Adams from office are growing.

They continued Sunday in Lower Manhattan at a protest to reject federal prosecutors' move to drop the corruption charges against him.

Adams had a message for New Yorkers. He visited two churches in Queens and then posted some video on X, formerly Twitter, and wrote, "I'm not stepping down. I'm stepping up."

But that's certainly not how some who were protesting see it.

1. Stepping up? He's so Trumpy, it's more like he's "stepping back and stepping by"

2. Will a Dem governor who can do something, do something?

3. No, he's "Steppin Fetchit". He's a disgrace to American African descendents. He reminds me of "Steven cANDYLAND" from

Django. My grandfather, my greatuncles, "ALL WWII VETS" who fought for this country and were treated worse than the nazi POW's because of their skin colour, would be spitting nails. Hochul, girl, throw his black ass out. Black people are NOT having this idiot kissing up to trump and his racist cronies.

8. Added to list

That Black folks no longer claim...
Another one that thinks if they grin n buck dance..they'll be loved and spared ..
His card is revoked and his seat at the bbq..foreva withdrawn.
Out with the rest of the trash.

4. Can he be recalled

by voters? Don’t know if that can be done in NY city or state.

7. Next to impossible. But the Governor can remove him without too much fuss.

5. I remember when he was running and I'd didn't like him

I don’t live in NYC but when I saw him I felt he was a fake.

6. Stepping up for Trump!

9. Guy's a bum.

10. Step aside

[SunSeeker]

11. Adams has a rock-bottom 27% favorable rating among registered voters in New York.

That's less than what those same voters gave to Trump. https://www.silive.com/politics/2025/02/shock-poll-shows-trump-with-better-nyc-approval-rating-than-mayor-adams.html

Imagine being more hated that Trump in a blue city!

12. Was "The Jeffersons" theme song playing in the background?

13. Hmmm odds of impeachment?

14. Com on Gpv. Hochul, do it, rid NYC of this stain of trumpism.

He will be breaking the laws of the city by going all in on arresting the immigrants, won't he? I thought NYC was a sanctuary city? Am I remembering right?

[Fla Dem]

15. Doubt he'll be reelected in November.
