NYC Mayor Cites White Supremacy Threat to Justify Brother’s High-Profile NYPD Gig

He added: “Let me be clear on this. My brother is qualified for the position, number one. He will be in charge of my security, which is extremely important to me in a time where we see an increase in white supremacy and hate crimes.”

Another idiot who can hardly put two sentences together. His speech yesterday at the NYFD conference was embarrassing.

As I told anyone who would listen, this guy is as corrupt as the day is long and the city deserves every fucking ounce of misery he brings them.

Its amazing how quickly this asshole pivoted to racism to get what he wanted which was clear nepotism and conflict of interest. Also in your article:

"“You’ve also named former NYPD chief Philip Banks as your deputy mayor. I’m sure you know, he was named an un-indicted co-conspirator in a federal corruption probe and resigned in 2014 after being accused of accepting bribes in return for favors,” the CNN anchor declared. "

The brother is imminently qualified for the job. He is black and is an assistant director of parking at VCU.

But the appointment was bound to raise questions, especially given the seeming thinness of Bernard Adams’ credentials. He’s a retired NYPD sergeant who currently serves as assistant director for parking at Virginia Commonwealth University. As deputy commissioner he reportedly will have a yearly salary of around $242,000.

Sounds about the same qualifications as the UW AD and her NIL expert.
