De Blasio: Gov. Hochul ‘Did a Smart, Practical Thing’ with Her Decision Not to Remove Mayor Adams

EXCERPT:

DE BLASIO: “FDR, as governor of New York, attempted to invoke it, didn’t need to in the end. So it’s never been done. We do know it’s complex. We do know it’s subject to legal challenge thereafter. So I think the governor on one level did a very sort of smart, practical thing. That’s going to be its own morass potentially, but we do need to give the public greater confidence because there’s a lot of deep concern right now, especially since last Friday. And I think the whole pivot point here, sadly, was Eric Adams going on Fox and Friends with Homan and leaving the impression that he was captive. I wish he, for his own sake and New York City’s sake, had never done that, but I think Hochul now is applying additional measures in a pretty smart way.”
