Half of NYC's deputy mayors dramatically resign in wake of Eric Adams'' controversial reprieve from Trump DOJ
2025-02-18
What a wondeful opportunity to replace them with more conservative (and honest) specimens!
[NYPOST] Half of New York City's deputy mayors dramatically resigned Monday in the wake of Eric Adams
...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a bunch of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve...
' controversial reprieve from his historic corruption case by President Trump's Justice Department.

The resignations of Adams' four senior aides — led by First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer — thrusts City Hall even deeper into uncharted territory as the mayor faces mounting questions about whether he can govern the city.

The four deputy mayors — Torres-Springer, Deputy Mayor for Operations Meera Joshi, Deputy Mayor for Health Human Services Anne Williams-Isom and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Chauncey Parker — resigned as a rally in support of Adams unfolded in Rehoboth Cathedral in Brooklyn.

The rally contrasted with the growing calls for Gov. Kathy Hochul to remove Adams from office in light of Trump's DOJ moving to scuttle his criminal case — a move that many critics argue makes the mayor a hostage to the president.

#7  ^ THIS. He was also expendable since Hochul is a spineless Dem leftist puppet. Takes a lot to make Cuomo look desirable again

#5  I suspect the Deputy Mayors that resigned are trying git while the gittin' is good. But what exactly are they running from? Must be more than the usual big city corruption/malfeasance.

The Brandon Administration charging Hizzoner was a surprise, what with him being a member of two protected classes, namely Mayors of big blue cities and a person of the negroidal persuasion. He does present as a man though, so there's that.

#4  I think all the deputy mayors, both those that resigned and those that did not, are major leftards.
