NYC Mayor Eric Adams on calls for his removal from office: "I'm not stepping down. I'm stepping up"

Source: WCBS-TV

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

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.

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.

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!

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?
