The mess playing out in New York between Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams is entirely the work of corrupt and incompetent Democrats. At some point, this reality should be embarrassing for voters in New York who have chosen to empower the New York Democratic Party.
In one corner is Adams, who was facing federal charges for bribery and campaign finance violations. My colleague Byron York broke down the case, summarizing it as follows: “The basic charge was that Adams did favors for the government of Turkey in return for campaign contributions, free or discounted airline tickets, free high-end hotel rooms, and fancy meals.” Those charges against Adams were dropped by President Donald Trump’s Justice Department, which claimed they were the result of a politically motivated investigation by the Biden administration.
