New York City picked a pro-business, former police captain who wants to get paid in Bitcoin and hobnobs with Republicans to lead City Hall. The left flank of the Democratic Party is already chafing at the choice

, which he opposed before agreeing to consider the approach following pressure from the teachers union.

“Mayor Adams is excited about governing in partnership with Speaker Adams and the City Council,” Ringel said. “He enjoys close relationships with a broad coalition of Council members across the ideological spectrum, and is ready to work with anyone who genuinely wants to sit at the table with him to work on the issues facing our city. When campaigning ends, governing begins [and] we’re ready to govern.

Neidhardt pointed out that Adams’ position on solitary confinement — which the mayor’s team says is more nuanced than news coverage has let on — was opposed by Adrienne Adams, a relatively centrist Democrat.to the mayor outlining their concerns. The missive was not well received. The intra-party dispute is somewhat unconventional: Adams, the city’s second Black mayor who won with deep union support, often speaks about his time as a dishwasher and one of six children whose single mother held low-wage jobs. His biography makes him an uneasy target for the left, as he is keenly aware.

Gypsy03301916 This won't the mayor you voted for!

Why is everyone shocked the ex-cop is picking ex-cops? That “band of brothers” bull is strong.

Who cares. Let him clean up the mess left by Deblasio and the progressives.

Anytime a State employee wants 2 get paid n bitcoin when the American dollar is the gold standard n America, thats a RED FLAG 2me that this person needs 2b watched or shouldn't b hired.

NYC, I hope you enjoy you’re Republican mayor.

...and it is only beginning

I think the left has really underestimated just how tired the rest of us are of ‘rule by tantrum’ tactics.

The Adams Family now runs NYC

Isn't NYC liberal, like shitlibville? What happened?

Here’s the compromise. No police protection or presence around any progressive dingbat. Never ever send police near their residence and keep a public list of those anti police addresses..letting the public know that there won’t be any police dispatched. Ever

The city went to shit under de Blasio. Change was needed. An innocent Asian woman was literally pushed in front of an oncoming Times Square subway train yesterday morning during rush hour.

Corrupt

Should it be progressive backlash ?

😥Deep sadness 🤣

Adams used the oldest and most inane excuse to explain why he joined the NYPD after being beaten up by them as a teenager: He wanted to work from the inside, the same excuse a white politico would use when found to belong to a bigoted club. Folks, you got what you deserve.

Well they can moan all they want he was elected fair and square.

Haha stateofthecity

Hobnobs? I looked it up and it came up w/ some biscuits which I’ve also never heard of, does he want to share some biscuits w/ Republicans? I mean, they voted this dude in, don’t know why they’re mad now🤷🏼‍♂️

This guy is is piece of work! NYC...What are you thinking.

“Having said that, I want to see him succeed because if he does well, the city does well.' And the only way the city can do well is if he pushes aside progressives, Socialists, and the idiots on Twitter.

Politico is basura

NO GOOD!!

Maybe they should try voting. 🤔

I just don’t understand how he got elected. Was it a close race?
