New York governor Kathy Hochul considers removing Eric Adams as she calls crisis meeting that could determine NYC mayor's fate

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is seriously considering removing Big Apple Mayor Eric Adams from office, announcing she is convening a meeting to determine the controversial mayor's fate.

The governor has been facing calls to fire Adams since the Trump administration asked federal prosecutors to drop his corruption case in what has been called a 'quid pro quo'  so he could could aid the President's immigration crackdown and campaign for reelection without the burden of pending charges.

Many of the mayor's advisors have stepped down in the aftermath, and on Monday, Hochul said she spoke with four deputy mayors who had announced their resignation earlier in the day.

'If they feel unsafe to serve in City Hall at this time that raises serious questions about the long-term future of this Mayoral administration,' she said.

The governor went on to say she recognizes that she has the constitutional authority to fire Adams, but said, 'In the 235 years of New York State History, these powers have never been utilized to remove a duly-elected mayor; overturning the will of the voters is a serious step that should not be taken lightly.

'That said, the alleged conduct at City Hall is troubling and cannot be ignored.'

She then announced that she has asked 'key leaders' to meet her in her Manhattan office on Tuesday to discuss 'the path forward, with the goal of ensuring stability for the City of New York.'

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

On what grounds? His "alleged conduct," which pretty much consists of being civil to Pres. Trump?

Ironically, the Dems are being undemocratic, once again.

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.

I don't think that dumb broad has the balls to fire Adams. 
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Too stupid by far to use her power to rescue illegals instead of Americans.
