Mayor Eric Adams is caught in the cross hairs once again, with new criticisms being levied upon him, this time from the largest news publication in his home state, the New York Times.

Mayor Adams (D. NY) whom has been on shaky terms with the national Democratic party for months over the looming migrant boom in New York city that has quickly divulged into a full blown crisis, has been lambasting the Biden administration for what he calls its “abandoning of New York” and not sufficiently funding the city despite clear evidence showing thousands of migrants overtaking the city.

In April, Adams had a meltdown at a press conference where he stated that most recent budget shortfall would do the city a great disservice.

“The national government has turned its back on New York City,” said Adams, blaming a projected $4.2 billion budget shortfall on the feds’ inaction. “Every service in this city is going to be impacted by the asylum seeker crisis.” He went on, “It does this great city a disservice and we’re calling on the Biden-Harris administration, the United States Department of Homeland Security, they must use all tools that are available to resolve this issue.”

The Biden Administration dropped Adams as  a national surrogate shortly after the comments.

Now the New York Times has chimed in, printing a hit piece alleging itself as an editorial on Adams, in which they accuse him faking a photograph of a dead officer who he alleges to have associated himself with in the past prior to the officer’s death.

The Times piece uses salacious language, testimonials from the dead officer’s family members stating that they didn’t know who Eric Adams was, and statements from anonymous aides stating that the image was recently printed out and made to look worn out.

The Adams office has called the claims egregious but have not refuted any of them.

Adams is the mayor of the largest city in North America and the undoubted leader of the New York Democrats. If the party has a national break with one of its highest profile surrogates just 1 year before what will surely be a competitive election season for the Biden administration, it may make the north-eastern corner of the country into play for a Republican party who has already made significant inroads in the region of the last decade.

With his benefactors appearing to turn on him in real time, one must wonder if Eric Adams is finished?
