NYC Mayor Eric Adams Compares Himself to Jesus During His Speech Celebrating Non-White Hires

Share

New York City’s left-wing Mayor Eric Adams has raised eyebrows after comparing himself to Jesus for discriminating against white job applicants in his “chocolate” administration.

Adams was speaking to a crowd Jan. 31 in a school gymnasium in Brooklyn.

The mayor launched into a bid to knock down the criticism he faces — much of it because of his disastrous “sanctuary city” policies and the billions in tax dollars he is throwing at migrants while the rest of the city suffers.

Adams, though, wanted the residents in the meeting to feel that he was “down” with the struggle because he’s hired so many black candidates for the city positions that come to him to be filled.

Adams introduced his deputy mayors and other members of his administration sitting at the head of the venue before proudly proclaiming that he had a wonderful “chocolate” group of folks backing him up at city hall.

“Have you ever seen this much chocolate leading the city of New York?” he screeched into the microphone.

“And go down the line. Look, look who’s here,” he added pointing to more of his staffers.

Should Adams resign?

“This is representative of the city,” he exclaimed.

“That’s why people are hating on me,” he insisted.

“You tryin’ ta figure out why they hatin’ on me?” he said in his best pandering ghetto tone.

“They hatin’ on me because those — how many of you go to church?” he said taking a side track where he went on to compare himself to Jesus in Matthew 21:12.

“Ma’am, this is a Matthew 21 and 12 moment. Jesus walked in the temple, he saw them doing wrong in the temple, he did what?” he said to the crowd pointing the microphone to a woman who said, “he turned the table over.”

“I went to City Hall to turn the table over,” Adams added.

“First woman police commissioner of color,” he went on. “First Spanish-speaking police commissioner, first Spanish-speaking corrections commissioner. Go through the line of what we’re doing.”

Of course, Adams’ obvious obsession with hiring black officials isn’t necessarily “representative of the city,” as he claimed.

New York City still has a plurality of white residents. According to the U.S. Census, the Big Apple’s population is 37.5 percent white, 29 percent Hispanic and only 23.1 percent black. Meanwhile, Asians are 14.5 percent of the population.

Commenters on social media were less impressed than Adams is over his own efforts.

Adams is certainly desperate to turn over tables, that is for sure. One table he wants overturned is the one talking about the FBI investigation into one of his fundraisers who is being looked at for illegal contributions from foreign nationals.

But he is also hoping to turn attention away from the criticism over his bungling of the migrant crisis that’s directly attributable to President Joe Biden’s decision to effectively open the southern border.

Adams clearly would rather talk about the blacks he has hired than answer to those mounting scandals.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
