Eric Adams Blasted For Comparing New York City to Haiti
 
Story by Nick Mordowanec • 15h •


New York City Mayor Eric Adams is getting grief online for comparing The Big Apple to the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, which has been inundated in recent weeks by deadly gang violence.

The perilous scene in Haiti, located about 831 miles from Florida at its shortest distance, erupted after armed gangs conducted massive jailbreaks from Haiti's two largest prisons, leading to the escape of more than 4,500 inmates. The gangs, who reportedly control about 80 percent of the capital city, have demanded the resignation of the Caribbean nation's acting prime minister, Ariel Henry, to which he has obliged pending the creation of a transitional presidential council.
 
Fears of massive migrant flows into the United States, labeled as a mass migration movement, have drawn the attention of U.S. military officials and lawmakers. On Wednesday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis deployed more than 250 officers and soldiers from the Florida State Guard, Division of Emergency Management and law enforcement agencies to the state's southern coast.

The problem for Adams is he is more correct than his critics are willing to admit.

So how many C.H.U.D.s are in NYC, anyway? Do they have a census estimate?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

A little reminder that Mayor Adams not only is an idiot, he's a racist.

It is Democrat policies that have made Haiti the thriving nation it is today.

And billions of dollars in U.S. aid that went straight into the pockets of the criminals "running" (or should I say "ruining") the country.
