New Yorker could be run by an ultra progressive Black Lives Matter activist if Eric Adams is ousted following his federal indictment.
Under New York’s law, the city’s Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, 48, who has a history of protesting against the police, will step into the mayor’s office.
Williams has similar political views to far-left Democrat progressives such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
He would replace Adams temporarily, until there is a special election 80 days after the change of power, sparking fears among New Yorkers that things could go from bad to worse in the city.
‘A wounded Eric Adams, a weakened Eric Adams remaining in office, is better than the socialist Jumaane Williams,’ former mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa told DailyMail.com.
‘That will open up the floodgates to socialism, and we will become Chicago.’
Adams, a moderate Democrat and former cop, has been the target of progressives like AOC, who oppose his pro-NYPD views and statements denouncing the Biden administration’s migrant policies.
Is this for real?
NYC is screwed.
From the frying pan into the fire!
