Democratic New York City Mayor Eric
Adams recently backtracked on his vow to house migrants in Gracie Mansion,
saying that the “symbolism” of his offer spoke volumes. Earlier this month,
Adams stated that he’d welcome migrants into the governor’s mansion if city
lawyers approved it but took back the offer in a June 15th press
conference with reporters.
“Leading
the challenge of the migrant problem is both substantive and symbolic and as I always said, ‘Good
generals lead from the front,'” Adams said, according to the New York
Post. “They don’t send their troops into battle and ask, ‘How was the
war?’ They lead them into battle. The symbolism of saying, ‘I’m willing to put
a homeless family in Gracie’ is that symbolism.” Huh? Reneging on your promise
to share your enormous abode with migrants is “leading from the front,” and/or
“leading them into battle?”
Adams noted
that he could not allow migrants to stay at his mansion due to “legal issues.” According
to the New York Post, Adams said: “We are never going to break the law. And so,
we’d be able to know what we can’t do and what we can’t do as a symbolism of
saying, ‘I’m willing to open up the people’s house to the people of the city.’”
Huh?!
“We are never
going to break the law?” New York broke federal law by declaring itself a
sanctuary city for illegal aliens. Crime has skyrocketed in the city
specifically because the Rotten Apple’s D.A. refuses to prosecute criminals.
The city is all about crime.
Gotham City has sued more than 30 counties across
New York State for issuing emergency executive orders that prohibit
local hotels from hosting migrants. Migrants Adams bussed out of
New York and into those counties. The suits ask courts to declare all the
executive orders “null and void.” Talk about chutzpah!
Adam’s
statement is an open-- and near perfect-- example of symbolism over substance.
And a pretty
good definition of today’s Democratic Party.
