During a press conference discussing his upcoming meeting with President Biden regarding combatting gun violence in NYC, Mayor Eric Adams praised the president and claimed to be his favorite mayor.
“This is a great city, and I’m the Biden of Brooklyn. And I love the fact that the president is coming here. I met with him after the campaign, and we spoke and we just connected, you know,” Adams said.
“And I’m sure if you were to ask him [who] is his favorite mayor, he’d clearly tell you, ‘It’s Eric,” he said, smiling.
“We just really like each other. … You know, we just got to hang out together, you know. That’s my dude,” Adams added.
When asked why he was lavishing praise on Biden, Adams said it was because he was an “ordinary Joe.”
“We just like these blue-collar guys,” Adams said. “You know, he is comfortable around everyday people. And you could just tell that when you’re in his presence, he’s just, you know, ordinary Joe. He knows the people, but the people know him.”
“He’s a guy that can bear the weight of the city, but that you don’t mind having a beer with,” the mayor concluded.

They are both so hymish, that is why they get along so well with the hymishe askunim.
Like I figured …”Business as usual “
He sounds extremely intelligent-
Any Democratic mayor who doesn’t make a fool of himself (think of the last mayor of New York), will quickly become Biden’s favorite. While it isn’t a federal matter, Democratic mayors who advocate defunding the police and giving petty criminals a free hand make Biden look bad.
As for being “Biden of Brooklyn”, one should remember that as Borough President he was largely powerless, so one could say that when he was limited to Brooklyn, he accomplished as much as Biden does (though in Adams’ case, no one would blame for not accomplishing much it was has been reduced to a largely ceremonial position).
Amazing how quickly a little “kovod” can go to your head. I guess he’s almost as big a fool as the average mayor…

Anyone who’s a friend of Biden is an enemy of liberty.
He’s Biden’s favorite because of his race…
